The General Lee is for sale. Yes, this is the real General Lee. Well, one of them anyway. They crashed most of them, including this one.
This particular car was wrecked during the first episode and sat in a junk yard until is was recently rescued.
Barrett-Jackson plans to auction this car at their 2012 Scottsdale auction.

Lotus Returns To Rally
Lotus is returning to rally with their new Exige R-GT. It has a surcharged 3.5 liter 302hp engine. The power-to-weight ratio is just a tad slower than a Cheetah :-)
Nikon D3 In Space
The Nikon D3 has amazing low light properties. I can't wait to see the Nikon D4 announcement at PMA in a few weeks.

Cat With 26 Toes Saves Shelter
Daniel, this cat with 26 toes, saved the shelter where he lives. The Milwaukee Animal Shelter where he lives needed to buy a new building. They solicited $26 donations, $1 for each of Daniel's toes. They raised $125,000 in six weeks, most from $26 donations.
Way to go Daniel!
A-12 Avenger Canopy
A great gift for the person who has everything. How about the canopy from the secret A-12 Avenger? This stealth aircraft was developed by General Dynamics and McDonnell Douglas but was never built.
This canopy resided at Purdue University for 15 years before they sold it on GovDeals.com for $2300. This canopy appeared recently on eBay for $620,000.
Get it while you still can! :-)

Pimp Your iPhone
For the person who has everything, now about a HUGE iPhone dock. When I say huge, it weighs 700 lbs and cost $30,000. It is made by German audio company Behringer. The iNuke Boom is seven feet wide and four feet tall. In addition, it has 10,000 watts of power.
It is sure to make your neighbors happy :-)

FedEx Delivery - Brain Donor
Wow, this went viral in one day with over 647,000 views. My guess is that this is going to cost FedEx a lot of lost delivery business.
Sad that one person could do this to such a great company's reputation!

Awesome!
NASA Locates Smallest Black Hole
NASA located the smallest black hole yet. They used a device called the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) to do so. This device acts like a large EKG machine.
Very cool!

Way to go Tommaso!

This guy is skilled although he did appear to spend a lot of time bumping the car behind him :-)

Abandoned Zoos
When cities run out of money, they often cut zoos. This can result in abandoned zoos. The photos are actually pretty creepy.

My Funniest Photo Of 2011
Storm Trooper Motorcycle Suit
This is so cool that it makes me want to buy a motorcycle just so that I would have an excuse to wear it. It is a Storm Trooper Motorcycle Suit. At $1500, it is a small price to pay for protection
Porcupine Eating Pumpkin
In addition to corn, this porcupine, "Teddy Bear," seems to really like pumpkin :-)
Perfect House For The Apocalypse
If you need a place to get away from it all in case of say, the apocalypse? For only $1.75M, Sotherby's will sell you this lovely home built on top of an abandoned missile silo. It even comes with it's own airport.
The realtor envisions that the buyer would build condos in the silo. :-)

Oskar The Blind Kitten - Helps Decorate For The Holidays
You may remember Oskar from my blog a few weeks ago. The loving family that takes care of him involves him in everything.
The thing that I love about Oskar is that he doesn't know a life with sight yet has more life in him than most people that I know!
Most Expensive Car Wreck In History
This has to be the most expensive car crash in history. There were 14 cars total. Among them were eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes.
The insurance company is never going to believe this.

Star Wars - Cello Wars
This is one of the most amazing things on the interwebitudes this year!
Unbelievable!
Snow Globe History
Most people think of snow globes as the souvenir that you pick up at the airport on the way home from a trip.
It turns out that the snow globe originated at the 1889 Paris World's Fair. It was the single souvenir sold at that event.
There must be a snow globe available for every interest or occasion :-)

Want To Be A Spy?
Spies come in all shapes and sizes. They are not all like James Bond. In fact, a great deal of spy work is done sitting at a computer.
The British intelligence services have a unique way of recruiting for their cipher division. You simply go onto MI5's website and decipher the above puzzle. Sure beats trying to recruit using Monster.com :-)

Cat Wheel
Hamsters have nothing on these guys! :-)
I wonder how large such a wheel would have to be in able to exercise cheetahs? My guess is about the size of the London Eye. :-)
