1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 Cabriolet Strong and beautiful 50's classic German engineering at it's finest!
The Mercedes-Benz W188 was a luxury sports tourer produced by Mercedes-Benz between 1951 and 1958. The company's most expensive and exclusive automobiles, the elegant, hand-built 300 S (1951-1954) and its successor 300 Sc (1955-1958) were the pinnacle of the Mercedes line of their era.
The Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (chassis codes W186, W188, and W189) were the company's largest and most-prestigious models throughout the 1950s. Analogous to today's S-Class, the Type 300 cars were elegant, powerful, exclusive, and expensive. The 300, 300b, 300c, and 300d touring cars were often referred to as Adenauers after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions of this model during his tenure.It was the most expensive luxury car of its day, twice as much as the 300SL and American luxury cars of the day. Equally important, it was the model that returned Mercedes-Benz to its prewar international clientele. Hence this was a car of the rich and famous including the Aga Kahn, the Shah of Iran, King Gustav of Sewden, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gary Cooper, Yul Brenner, Maria Callas, Clark Gable & Bing Crosby.

I went to the grocery store the other day. I saw this kid that must have been 16-17. He was wearing a hoody that said "'69 Camaro" across the front in huge letters. Underneath the text, there was a pic something like this.



I mentioned it to him. I apparently wasn't the first person.

Blue Eared Pheasant






Notice the brake rotors just exposed with the huge spacers used. I bet his wheel bearings don't last long. That sure screams for some tickets for an unsafe vehicle.

The block of Quartz crystals, wow!
I'd drive the '67!
The Dodge truck guy must be a fan of open wheel racing.

I think this was a fad in the mid to late 80s. Mini trucks with beds on hydraulics.

I visited a Buddhist temple that had a YUGE crystal as the centerpiece. They referred to it as an Earth care taker or some such. I swear the thing was giving off EM waves.

At Home With The World. This television set, retailing for $100, ($1,625 in today's money) is reportedly the first moderately priced receiver manufactured in quantity. Rose Clare Leonard watches the screen, which reproduces a 5×7 image, as she tunes in at the first public post-war showing at a New York department store, on August 24, 1945.

2000 years old seed were discovered in 1963 inside an ancient jar in Israel.
That were planted in 2005 and a tree that had been extinct for over 1800 years sprouted.

Hey, look, ridge vents!

"Hey, will you hold the box for me?"
Not just "no" but ...

Very cool! Until we realize that these develop into invasive carnivorous plants, and they'd been sealed up in the jars by witches, sorcerers, and the greatest warriors!

A 42,000-year-old foal discovered frozen in Siberian permafrost contained a surprise: the oldest liquid blood on record.

This is the second time that a defrosted Ice Age animal has turned out to contain liquid blood, said Semyon Grigoriev, the head of the Mammoth Museum at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk. In 2018, Grigoriev and his colleagues extracted liquid blood from a 32,200-year-old mammoth carcass. That makes the foal's blood the oldest ever found by 10,000 years.

Grigoriev and his colleagues are set on cloning a mammoth and other Pleistocene fauna, and they're already trying to clone the foal, a member of an extinct species called the Lena horse. It's a long shot, though, Grigoriev wrote in an email to Live Science. [Photos: Perfectly Preserved Baby Horse Unearthed in Siberian Permafrost]

"But," he said, "we in Russia say that hope dies last."
Lena horse

The Lena horse (Equus caballus lenensis) foal was found in the Batagaika Crater in eastern Siberia last year. The foal was 1 to 2 weeks old and stood 39 inches (98 centimeters) at the shoulder when it died, drowning in mud. Remarkably, the icy permafrost preserved the foal's skin and hair down to the tiniest detail. There was even well-preserved urine still inside the foal's bladder, Grigoriev said.

The liquid blood was a surprise, he said. Typically, blood coagulates or turns to powder even in well-preserved carcasses, because fluids gradually evaporate over thousands of years, he said. In the mammoth, dubbed "Buttercup" by researchers, the blood was preserved in ice inside the carcass.

The World's Oldest Bottle Of Wine Might Actually Be Safe To Drink
An unopened bottle of wine believed to be around 1,700 years old sits in the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer, Germany. Its contents look suspect, to say the least – but on a microbial scale, it might not actually make you ill, even if the texture made you sick to your stomach.
You’re not a true vintage connoisseur until you’ve tried a 1,700-year-aged grape.
