Incredible Spinning Bullet on Ice

Gear  |  Other
I believe it is real! They took the second video to prove it was real, watch here [ Youtube link ]!
"Apparently, Mythbusters is going to film a segment to test the incredible case of the spinning bullet on ice. Many people are discussing if this is possible or not. After watching it repeatedly and reading the arguments, I believe it. Some people say that this is impossible. How can a .40 caliber bullet stop on the ice like that, losing all its forward momentum and still keep spinning? I don't know the what the physics are, but the video is pretty clear and I don't see any way of faking that, which is probably why Mythbusters is going to put it to the test."

World's fastest mobility scooter

Array
Gear  |  Other
Colin Furze has adapted a conventional electric model into a petrol-engined speedster that can hit 69 mph(100kph). Its125cc gas engine was taken from a motorcycle.
"Mr Furze was given the scooter by a friend who sells and repairs them.
The 125cc engine was taken from a motorbike.
He added: ‘I was told by Guinness that I could modify the engine but I wasn’t allowed to change the appearance in any way so I couldn’t give it bigger wheels or make it more stable.
'I initially tried experimenting with battery power but I only got to about 30mph and the batteries died really quickly so I knew then it would have to be petrol powered.
‘I haven’t had any crashes but the wheel fell off when I was slowing down once. I’ve nearly been in the hedge a few times.’
The petrol-powered super scooter, which is British racing green, does 10 miles to the gallon and is nearly NINE times faster than an average mobility scooter which glides along at just 8mph.
'It is quite scary when I'm driving it fast as the frame is pretty flimsy and designed for going along at slow speeds,' continued Mr Furze.
'You can't take your eyes off the road when driving it as any rash steering decisions could make it flip over and the slightest dip or bump in the road makes it drift off course.
'I was a bit nervous when I first started it up as I wasn't sure if it would work, but it sounded good and got to 64mph, then 69mph very quickly.
