A visitor to the site writes:
“Xenophilia: I was wondering if you could help get the word out about a revolutionary new EV that will be released in 2006. It cruises at over 60mph and goes up to 70 miles on a single charge would be the national average electricity cost. Of course, no noise or emissions. The website is www.vectrixusa.com , and here’s an insider image of the bike’s new design. I’ve ridden the VXe and it’s amazing. … PS: I am not a Vectrix employee, I just want the VXe to be available here.”
Looks cool, and going 70 miles for around for 34 cents is amazing. Of course, you have to figure in the $8,000 price tag and the cost of replacing the fuel cell, but it still seems like a great deal for those quick hops around town.

Click thumbnails to enlarge these freaky deep ocean fish.
According to snopes:
“They date from mid-2003 and were taken as part of the NORFANZ voyage, a joint Australian-New Zealand research expedition conducted in May-June 2003 to explore deep sea habitats and biodiversity in the Tasman Sea. These photographs can be viewed on Australia’s National Oceans Office web site.”

“The eel, which is said to be at least three metres long with a head the size of a football, has been scaring fishermen at Tommy Finn’s trout farm. Farm manager Gary Wales says an Irish tourist got the fright of his life when he encountered the eel early this morning.”
There are some really interesting monster eels out there. According to occultopedia, they have been measured up to 12 feet. Check out these strange deep sea creatures.
