Maybe this is what they called "total car's appearance modification". Cat-Car, Shoe-Car, Ball-Car, Monster-Car, Rocket-Car, Ah... Maybe I should create an invisible ghost-car too. :P

When The Highest and The Lowest Man in the World Meet
What do you think of when the owner of the world's highest body and lowest in the world are meeting together and Coupled together side by side. It was a rare and contrast sight isn’t it? Like sky and earth. This is what happened at the opening of the New Guinness World Records Live. Sultan Kosen of Turkey which has a 8 feet 1 inch or 246.4 cm body, which had been named as the world's tallest man met with Ping-Ping who was born on July 13, 1988 and has a height of 73 cm originated from China (Inner Mongolia). He has been named a person who has the lowest height in the world.
One time, Kosen has the desire to see Ping-Ping, and now they can meet and coexist together. This Turkish has a height above the average person because of abnormalities of the tumor. After the tumor removed, the height is stopped in the year 2008 (pituitary gigantism). Meanwhile, Ping Ping has a body condition called primordial dwarfism or osteogenesis imperfecta since birth. Some time ago Ping-Ping also been reunited with her owner in the world's longest legs, Svetlana Pankratova.

Evolta, Japanese Robot is Ready to Break The World’s Record
Evolta, a robot who becomes the mascot Japanese electronics company, Panasonic, has previously been awarded the Guinness World Records. This robot will amaze the public -again- by exploring the streets of Japan to conduct long march as far as 300 miles or more precisely about 482 kilometers from Tokyo to Kyoto.
As quoted by Panasonic in his videos, Evolta is a humanoid shaped robot with an interesting little two-wheeled wagon-style called daihachiguruma.
This robot, with only about 17 cm tall and weighing 997 grams is going to walk in a plastic cylinder that rotates, much like hamsters with wheels. The difference, Evolta walks pulling carts with 12 AA batteries for the energy source.
With speeds of two to three meters per hour, this robot is controlled by a remote control, and expected to arrive in Kyoto on December 10, 2010, after traveling for approximately 49 days.
Evolta scheduled to explore the historic streets such as the Tokaido, the legendary and ancient route connecting Tokyo and Kyoto. The tradition of traveling by foot has been celebrated for centuries by artists in Japan. This is also to be conducted by Evolta.
The tiny Evolta will travel according to organizers of the show regulations. For instance, he just walked in the afternoon, may only recharge the battery once a day and not allowed to walk during rainy weather. All activities are monitored by Evolta Team through a computer remotely.
Evolta’s designer team hope, this tiny robot can get to Kyoto on time and again won the Guinness World Records. If success, the action this time will make Evolta became the first humanoid robot that walks through the streets of historic Japan.

This Lamp is Still Flash On After 109 Years!!!
The world's oldest lamp left on for 109 years and still illuminates the room until now.
It’s called “The Centennial Bulb”, installed in the Office of Fire extinguisher in California.
This lamp was a gift given by a local businessman for the fire department.
This lamp is produced by the Shelby Electric Company.
The lamp with 4 watt carbon has become a record in the Guinness Book of record and beat the previous record of the lamp in the Texas Theater.
Standard lamp typically lasts for 750-1000 hours on, whereas modern lamps are now resistant to 10,000 hours of light.
Compare it with the energy saving lamps now...

Israel Found World's Most Valuable Gold Coin
The most valuable gold coin in the world is found in Israel. The archaeologists say they have found gold coins most severe and most valuable ever found in Israel.
This 2200-year-old coin weighs one ounce (28 grams) and is found at the site Kedesh Tel, near the Lebanese border on June 22, according to a statement from the antiquities authority. It is said that the coin six times heavier than most of coins in that era.
Donald Ariel, head of the department of antiquities authority said the coin had come from the Seleucid Empire based in Iraq, though printed by rival Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt.
He said that the coins probably represent the image of Cleopatra I, wife of Ptolemy V. It was the second Ptolemaic gold coins ever found in Israel. For the former weighs only two grams (0.07 ounces).

Giant Mushrooms
The Mexicans seem to have a special secret to maintain a giant mushroom, or maybe just because of their great-growing land, or maybe it is just because some luck to get this superbig mushrooms. This fungus is found on a coffee plantation in Chiapas, Mexico in June 2007. 2 feet in length with a weight of 44 ponds, this is bigger than a boy.
An expert biologist, Rene Andrade of Mexico took this picture on a coffee plantation in Mexico as well. This makes the enthusiastic home-enthusiastic Czechs Republic on an expedition to the Central American state to conduct research.
Below is an image that displays interesting chlorophanos Mycena mushrooms growing on a tree.
It is just like the funguses are climbing into the tree until a peak and spit out lights. The light was caused by the same biochemical reactions that occur in bacteria, fish, and fire flies. Usually found in rain forests of Australia.

The Reason of the Letters Position on the Keyboard
Do you ever ask, why the order of letters in a typewriter keyboard, computer, PDA, etc are "QWERTYUIOP" and so on? Why don’t they make a sequence like "ABCDEFGH" and so on? Maybe some of you already know the story, but in case if you’re not, I will tell you right here.
It is said that, the keyboard has been created since 1860 by Sholes and Dunsmore. Originally they were made sequentially in alphabetical order. However, gradually with increasing capabilities (custom) user, typing speed becomes faster while the mechanism of the engine is still simple. As a result, certain keys got jammed and hinder the work.
Based on their experience, finally they made the keyboard deliberately complicated and inefficient so it won’t jam easily. Typewriter design was then sold to the Remington for mass production in 1873. The structure is divided into four rows, the top line of "23456789 -" second line "QWE.TYIUOP", third line "XDFGHJKLM", and the bottom line "AX & CVBN?; R".
Over time, technology developed rapidly and the problems that often jammed keyboard button has been overcome with a better mechanical design. A number of alternative keyboard design also appeared on the market. One of the quite popular is the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (DSK) made by August Dvorak in 1936. The design is claimed to be a more efficient, and faster.
QWERTY actually has many shortcomings such as making your left hand overloaded, especially when writing in English (the same thing I felt when writing in some other languages). QWERTY also makes your pinkie overloaded. Research shows that the uneven distribution of the letter so that your fingers must be crossed from line to line - when measured finger typists will typically run more than 20 miles per day, compared with the DSK that only run 1 mile.
Unfortunately, people still refuse to turn away from the design of "QWERTY" although the design is not the best design. Although technology can solve the key problem of jamming, people stick with the design "QWERTY" design rather than other, more superior. Instead, the QWERTY crowned as the international standard in 1966.
The same thing also happens in Microsoft Windows. We certainly know that Windows is not the best operating system, whether it is in terms of safety, convenience, performance, and the matter of beauty. However, because the market penetration of Windows has been so swift, people got used to using Windows and operating systems become standardized.
Is it nothing better than Windows? Of course not. But people need to think about it a few times before turning away from the standard. They have to face barriers such as cost factor, compatibility issues, the learning process, the time factor, and many more. As a result the number of those who are faithful to much larger than the apostate. This is what makes Windows or QWERTY became the standard - even though they are not the best.
In the scientific world, this phenomenon is explained as the concept of path dependency and network externality. In essence, innovation does not produce outcomes that out of the blue, but it is a development that could be predicted from a has-been. In addition, the value of innovation will be higher when it is used by more people. At a certain stage, these innovations will become the standard used by the public.
