Here’s a gallery to check out, but fair warning — If the title means anything to you, then click though knowing that the images do it justice. It’s a fact: Birds can pose a threat to airplanes. That’s the reason why some high-traffic airports use hawks to scare away other feathered friends fiends. Of course they could have just gone with Bird Busters.

What you’ll encounter is a gallery of images portraying the aftermath of bird versus aircraft collisions. It ain’t pretty… But strangely enough, birds do seem to cause quite a bit of damage to multimillion dollar airplanes. If they don’t make contact with the windshield, then the chances of these unfortunate birds getting sucked into various vacuums goes up significantly. You know how driving down the interstate can be messy for your vehicle’s exterior? The same thing goes for jet pilots (even fighter jets).

Not even space-bound rocket ships are excluded. Click through for more, if you dare.

One of the biggest icons in film history, Paul Newman, passed away last night at age 83.  You can read a great article about his life (with a lot of amazing pictures) here, or look at the press release issued by the Newman’s Own Foundation here.  Either way, the world is missing a giant of […]

It will only take about 45 minutes to permanently alter the skyline of Indianapolis, Indiana.  Twenty-four years ago, the RCA/Hoosier Dome was opened.  At 10:30 AM this morning, the giant fans keeping the stadium’s roof up were turned off starting the deflation process.  By the time you read this, the home stadium of the Indianapolis […]

It is the first day of fall today, and everywhere the weather is starting to cool down (finally, September had some days in the 90-degree range here!).  That means Halloween is right around the corner, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas and New Year’s Day, then 2009.  Time really does fly, doesn’t it?  If your trees are […]

As dedicated Bigfoot blogger NewsComa could tell you, Sasquatch likes to party. Judging by the picture of Bigfoot’s recent trip to Roanoke, Virginia, he likes to party just a little bit too much. That’s why the poor man-ape is passed out face-down on the sand. Fortunately, he’s got that thick woolly coat […]

There are always signs out there that, when you look at them, you just know whoever put the sign up probably wasn’t reading it closely.  As someone who wasted five years of college as an English major (plus a year of grad school, so that’s six years of wasted time and money), I see signs […]

There’s a little plastic guy with a big head who is popping up in the strangest of places.  His name is Bobblehead George, and his website Where’s Bobblehead George? is getting a lot of attention these days, for a very good reason.  From his home base in Nashville, Tennessee, Bobblehead George has gone to Hollywood, […]

Human beings can do a lot of things out of necessity.  For example, let’s take a gander at the Chand Baori, a famous well from India.  Yes, that’s the well above… the crazy thing with the thousands of stairs.  Actually, it has 3,500 stairs, is 13 stories,  and is 30 meters deep.  It was built […]
