This Is Pictures.

Friend sent me a link to a photo of the '82 320i that one of the Columbine shooters owned. Bomb half-detonated in it. Kinda interesting, IMO.

I wasn't. Apparently they were failures at bombmaking. Failed to ignite the gas tank, so there was virtually no bomb damage to the car.

Right. They were trying to blow up the gas tank like in the movies.


There were propane tanks with explosives attached to them in the car. They never went off. Merely worn out e21 seats.

remind you of anything...

I love 510's :)

Dude, I have been trying to find the site that describes the build up of that yellow 510 for months now (when I remember to try and find it). Where did you get it?

[Ray Smoodiver]

Would you believe that yellow one is now in New Zealand :D

Was for sale, too, they wanted over 100K NZD for it

build: http://www.bryanf.com/510/

Yea, I just found the site. AWESOME, AWESOME 510.

The fact that this is a real picture blows my fucking mind.

"The View Near a Black Hole"



Are you fucking kidding me

what the FUCK is that?

The View Near a Black Hole
Drawing Credit: April Hobart, CXC
Explanation: In the center of a swirling whirlpool of hot gas is likely a beast that has never been seen directly: a black hole. Studies of the bright light emitted by the swirling gas frequently indicate not only that a black hole is present, but also likely attributes. The gas surrounding GRO J1655-40, for example, has been found to display an unusual flickering at a rate of 450 times a second. Given a previous mass estimate for the central object of seven times the mass of our Sun, the rate of the fast flickering can be explained by a black hole that is rotating very rapidly. What physical mechanisms actually cause the flickering -- and a slower quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) -- in accretion disks surrounding black holes and neutron stars remains a topic of much research."

Wow.

Fuck of the Mind.

Here's the hi-res in case anyone's interested.
