The Koenigsegg CCR has broken the McLaren F1 speed record (for production cars) by two kph. It is now 388 (give or take a tenth). The SSC Aero SC/8T has been aerodynamically tested to 401 kph.
Also the CCR power to weight is 0.68 bhp / kg (this is freakin' massive) , the Aero has 0.74 bhp / kg (insane). Just for reference the WRX STi has 0.19 bhp / kg.

Earthquakes In The Last Week
This is sorta scary...we don't get many earthquakes in Australia, so it's not something that we worry about...not so for some areas of the world.
Zooming into some of the clusters you will see that there are a lot more than what first appear. Some of them are upto 7.5 in magnitude!

"Dark Knight" gets better and better
"Dark Knight" Casting News (January 26th 2007)
Secondly - NO KATIE HOLMES. Her character of Rachel Dawes IS in the film, but the filmmakers are now actively searching for a replacement to take on the part. Whether it was Holmes or the filmmaker's decision not to have her reprise her role is uncertain for now.

Two new sports/supercars but where is the originality?
GTM 40TR. No prizes if Adam guesses what this is an ugly rip-off of.
New Swiss supercar looks like a Ferrari Enzo / Pagani Zonda / LeMans Prototype crossbreed.
And while I usually like unusual, sometimes garish, cars...these two are rather ugly.

David Gemmell: Bookie
While reading the Questions (by Fans) and Answers (by Gemmell) section on www.gemmellmania.co.uk, I found this one:
16. The short bio of you circulating the internet says you were expelled from at 16 school for 'organising a gambling syndicate.' Is this true? If so, what was it all about?
A friend and I organised a betting shop in the school. Other students could lay bets with us. Some of the larger bets we offloaded at a betting shop. It was a lucrative business. Doing the accounts one day I noticed that we were starting to suffer from a series of bad debts from students who had placed bets, but not paid up. So - always the businessman - I brought in a guy named Freddie. Freddie was - not to put too fine a point on it - a natural leg breaker. This was not surprising since he came from a family of leg breakers. Anyway, Freddie got to keep half of the money he collected. Within days a stream of angry parents arrived at the school complaining about 'Jimmy's black eye' 'John's terrible bruises' 'Henry's chipped tooth.' The betting shop empire collapsed and within two weeks I was working as a labourer.

Why HBO is cool
Variety.com - HBO turns 'Fire' into fantasy series - Do they really know what they're getting themselves into? At least it'll be a driving force to get Martin to finish the series.

So i click the 'Next Blog>>' link at the top on the blogger bar that is inserted at the top of the page...and I get this. Now I know that this is most probably a random blog, but we wouldn't really expect blog to be linked from ours.
