ROCKY MOUNTAIN GIRZZLY BEAR
JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING
This bear was taken by world famous hunter and hunting guide C. Dale Petersen of Jackson Hole, WY. It is one of only two grizzlies known to have been killed “without” the use of modern weaponry.
Verified by game biologists, Mr. Petersen killed this bear with his hands, and oddly enough, his teeth. It is known that this bear had been aggravated by a group of backpackers, shortly thereafter Petersen, unaware of the previous happenings, came upon the bear. A fight-to-the-death ensued. Petersen, having his right hand and arm wedged in the bear’s throat, actually used his own teeth and jaws to pinch off the bear’s jugular vein. When the bear passed-out from lack of blood flow to the brain, Petersen beat the bear in the head with a stick.
What a Jimmy SHOULD Look Like
My old ride; about 10 years ago. ’91 Jimmy, 4.3 V6, straight axle conversion (Toyota front & rear), all suspension lift (no body lift), Turbo 350 transmission and NP205 transfer case out of a full-size Blazer/Jimmy, 31″ tires. Rear fenders were completely uncut. Up front the axle was moved forward about 3-4″ and all cutting was done on the front part of the fender (no cutting into the firewall). Kenwood deck, Zapco amps, Polk db component speakers up front and subs in the back.
I bought it in stock condition, wrecked for about $250 from PG&E. The front end had been crunched, frame bent, and the transmission/transfer case removed.

Cruise liner squeezes under bridge with just 1.5 inches to spare
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1325198/Cruise-liner-squeezes-bridge-just-1-5-inches-spare.html
The Allure of the Seas – which cost a staggering £1billion ($1.5bn) – measures around four football fields and accommodates 8,300 people including crew members.
There was about 20in (50cm) clearance between the bridge and the top of the ship – but swell and weather conditions brought that margin of error down to 1.5in (4cm).
Any sudden movement and it would have been a very different story.
Home Data Storage For 70 TB
englishrussia.com/index.php/2010/10/20/home-data-storage-for-70-tb/
What would you do if you had no space on your computer to store films downloaded from the Internet? Exactly! Build a huge storage of hard disks. Just as one Russian guy did – he combined hard disks to get a 70TB storage. To cool down this device he put about 20 fans above the box with hard disks.
The Essay Rickroll
When Redditor Mayniac182 suspected his teacher wasn’t actually reading his essays, he did what any normal computer science student would do. He spent 8 hours formatting it into a Rickroll to see if his teacher would notice.

Reach Road Truckers
This fall comes an all new series,
join the spartans as they driven cargo through wave after wave of aliens.
Only on The History Channel.
Ahmatroll
The irony is, Ahmadinejad, like many trolls, denies certain parts of European/Asian history actually occurred.
I’m not incredibly well-read on this subject, so I won’t pretend like I know everything the man stands for. Regardless, the troll image seemed to match his grin pretty well.
Hunter and Prey wallpaper
The hunter must forever watch that he does not grow complacent; for if he does, he may well find himself the prey.
