20 Biggest Plot Holes…

1. That Jesus character was killed off and now he’s back? I don’t get it.

2. So let me get this straight… These American guys acquire this super-weapon that ultimately ended a massive war in a previous season… but this ‘super-weapon’ is never used again in all the later wars they get into? I have a strong feeling that they are going to be used in the series finale, everyone knows they have to use them at some point.

3. How the f**k did we go from the first airplane to landing on the moon in 66 years? That’s some rushed development.

2,000′ long Slip ‘N Slide

Action Park is up to its old tricks again: creating ridiculous rides.

Located in Vernon, New Jersey, the water park has built a 2,000-foot-long waterslide consisting of the same plastic used to create inflatable bounce houses, the New Jersey Herald reported.

Challenger Drag Pak

challenge_drak_pak1

The Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak gives you a supercharged 354-cubic-inch Hemi race car with a cast-iron block, forged steel crankshaft, Mopar camshaft and a custom engine management system for an eye-watering $109,354. Or, for almost $10,000 less, the naturally aspirated 426-cubic-inch featuring an aluminum block with pressed-in steel liners and aluminum cylinder heads can be yours at $99,426.

They’re building 60 total. Thirty five of those will come with the supercharged engine, with the remaining 25 packing the naturally aspirated 426 Hemi engine.

Both engines come with an automatic gearbox, a different K-Member and suspension geometry with double adjustable compression and rebound struts up front. At the rear, it’s a four-link suspension with Panhard bar, Strange Engineering housing and 40-spline gun drilled axles with a 9-inch aluminum third member, a 4-inch diameter driveshaft, shocks with adjustable compression and rebound and an anti-roll bar. The rear axle mounting has been beefed up as well for those ultimate launches.

The tires are 15-inch Hoosier drag radials, there’s a full NHRA rollcage of course, plus a Mopar gauge pack, racing seats with a safety net and five-point harnesses.

Mopar claims they also have “more user-friendly hoods.” All the better to see those delicious engines with.

Boa Constrictors do NOT squeeze the breath out of you…

Well, they DO, but that’s not what kills you.  Turns out we were wrong:

A Dumeril's boa (Acrantophis dumerili) at the Great Plains Zoo in South Dakota. Constrictors quickly kill their prey by cutting off their blood supply, a new study says.
