Michelin's introducing the next generation of tires that dont need to have an air tube.
Michelin Tweel is the upcoming king of tires:
Had the following students bought these tires for their vehicles, they wouldnt have gotten an F on their exams:
Down in Jackson, Mississippi, three boys arrived in school late.
It was as late as 10:00 a.m. They had been fishing.
For their excuse they stated that they were delayed because of a flat tire. The teacher decided to give them a test immediately, so she had them seated apart from one another.
She said, "This test will have only one question, and I will give you thirty seconds to put down your answer."
The question was, "Which tire?"

Do birds think?
I dont know if it's their instict that drives them or a certain flavor or even a hormone but if you ask me, i think they give the impression that they think.
Take a look at that dancing cockatoo:
take a look at that budgie:
a domesticated canary:
And if none of the above persuaded you, maybe this sparrow will convince you that birds have some sort of intelligence that could make them think.
And finally:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It got so cold it froze up and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As it lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the little bird singing, and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out-and then ate him.
The morals of the story are:
1. Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3. When you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!

Ferrari VS Jet
It sounds funny if you think that a car could be faster than a eurofighter jet. Well at least at the first 400 meters.
Mikael Schumacher with a Ferrari formula 1, was leading the race running at the speed of 190mph but when the 40000 pounds of thrust decided to take action.
The Jet finished the race 2 tenths quicker than the Ferrari which took 13.2 secs to cover the distance of 900 meters.
Although i believe if the escargot from the following joke, was driving that F1, results would be different right now...
There was this snail who wanted to be a F1 racing driver.
He went along to the track and asked the team manager if he could drive.
The racing team manager said, 'Yes, but you can't have a number on your car, you can only have an 'S' because you are a snail.'
The Snail was OK about this is so he entered the race.
The race started and the snail's car was at the back...but suddenly he sped to the front, over-taking all the cars and won!!
As the spectators saw the Snail speed past them, they yelled
'WOW! LOOK AT THAT S-CAR GO!!'

Murphy's law or Real life everyday conclusions?
-=- Whenever I find the key to success, someone changes the lock.
-=- To Err is human, to forgive is not a COMPANY policy.
-=- The road to success... is always under construction.
-=- Alcohol doesn't solve any problems, but if you think again, neither does Milk.
-=- In order to get a Loan, you first need to prove that you don't need it.
-=- Since Light travels faster than Sound, people appear brighter before you hear them speak.
-=- Everyone has a scheme of getting rich?.. Which never works.
-=- If at first you don't succeed... destroy all evidence that you ever tried.
-=- You can never determine which side of the bread to butter. If it falls down,
it will always land on the buttered side.
-=- Anything dropped on the floor will roll over to the most inaccessible
corner.
-=- As soon as you mention something... if it is good, it is taken. If it is
bad, it happens.
-=- He who has the gold, makes the rules ---- Murphy's golden rule.
-=- If you come early, the bus is late. If you come late... the bus is still
late.
-=- Once you have bought something, you will find the same item being sold
somewhere else at a cheaper rate.
-=- When in a queue, the other line always moves faster and the person in front
of you will always have the most complex of transactions.
-=- If you have paper, you don't have a pen... If you have a pen, you don't have
paper... if you have both, no one calls.
-=- The door bell or your mobile will always ring when you are in the bathroom.
-=- After a long wait for bus No.20, two 20 number buses will always pull in
together and the bus which you get in, will be more crowded than the other.
-=- If your exam is tomorrow, there will be a power cut tonight.
-=- Irrespective of the direction of the wind, the smoke from the cigarette will
always tend to go to the non-smoker
