Hey, sbs! I noticed something this morning on my way into work, and immediately thought about you.
As you might already know, I take the express bus to work. It's essentially a 10-wheeled, 45-foot tour coach that has been pressed into service as a public bus.
I get off at the very last stop, which is at a cul-de-sac where the bus has to make a [b]very tight 180° turn to exit. I've always wondered how such a large vehicle was able to accomplish such a tight manoeuver, and finally found out today: apparently, the coach is equipped with steerable rear wheels that turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels, to reduce the turn radius. I just happened to glance back as the coach was making the turn this morning, and noticed it.
Pretty cool, in my opinion, and it got me wondering how common such a feature is on public buses. And of course, I thought of you!

Mythbusters is going to test the myth that a compact car hit by 2 semi-trailers will smash it so small that the car cannot be seen
i LOVE these guys' job! -
In other news, I just discovered that my handphone is a pretty decent mp3 player! Never thought to try it until my ipod shuffle died recently.

Does using your handphone's mp3 capabilities take a toll on its battery life?Originally posted by av98m:In other news, I just discovered that my handphone is a pretty decent mp3 player! Never thought to try it until my ipod shuffle died recently. -

I'll bet that, on Brainiac, they never fired a 50BMG round from a Barrett rifle into a swimming pool.Originally posted by The man who was death:brainiac is still way better than mythbusters

The tank-motorcycle mash-up, Hyanide. Equipped with a 60-hp, 500-cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, this motorcycle uses tank treads to allow its owners to travel on sand, snow and mud at speeds of up to 85 mph. -
