1. Got attacked by a seagull in toilet

The bathroom is on the 2nd floor and has a high ceiling with a little window which is open, so he got in there.

It was an attention thing or religious thing!

4. Air force Thunderbird that crashed in a field next to the someone’s house.

The Air force Thunderbird crashed after the 2016 USAFA graduation and the sad thing the pilot wasn’t as lucky and didn’t make it out alive.

5. A squirrel ran out from underneath it carrying a full doughnut.

Squirrels are just like rats you can’t leave your food unattended because the squirrels and crows will unzip your bag and rob you if you don’t keep on eye on your foods. LOL

6. Man survived a failed demolition of a smokestack falling on him.

 

Companies who can recover items like this do post-accident analysis to determine what worked and what didn’t in the design. In this case, the engineers are eager to see how the cab’s design successfully protected the operator so they can apply that lesson on future designs.

7. Abraham Wald, applied mathematics in WWII.


Engineering has come a long enough way since WWI in that it’s not just a “look at the problem areas and beef it up” approach anymore.

10 Reasons Why You Should Buy A Boat

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.91″ background_layout=”light”]

I can’t count how many times I’ve heard friends say, “I’d love to buy a boat someday.” Why not make that dream of owning a boat a reality? No matter what stage of life you are in, there is a style of boating that fits your interests and your budget. Here are the top 10 reasons to finally buy a boat.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.91″ custom_margin=”20px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=”3.0.91″ show_title_and_caption=”on” show_pagination=”on” fullwidth=”on” orientation=”landscape” zoom_icon_color=”#2ea3f2″ hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” hover_icon=”%%40%%” background_layout=”light” pagination_font_size_tablet=”51″ pagination_line_height_tablet=”2″ gallery_ids=”3371,3365,3367,3368,3369,3370,3372″ /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.91″ background_layout=”light” custom_margin=”20px||20px|”]

1. Family Bonding

Boating encourages fellowship and creates quality time together like few other activities. Prepare yourself for fun, wholesome family time away from video games or TV that your children will actually enjoy. You’re greatest family memories probably won’t be created by staring at the latest television show, so get outside!  The camaraderie, laughter and bonding created by recreational boating are priceless.

2. Achieve Rock Star Status

I’m not suggesting you should bribe your friends to hang out with you, but there’s no denying that owning a boat gives everyone a great excuse to want to hang out with you. You’ll never have a dull weekend again as friends beg to book the next weekend with you and your beloved boat.

Just picture a warm July summer night on the water after a long day of tubing. You’re enjoying snacks, drinks, laughter and conversation with those you love. Is there a better way to spend an evening? Have a blast boating, and enjoy it with your closest companions.

3. Reduce Stress

It’s hard to worry about that meeting that didn’t go well at work when you’re reeling in a big fish on the open water. Life can be hard. Getting outdoors and onto the waves is the perfect way to refresh and recharge.

You can sit at your desk and squeeze a foam ball, but in my opinion, boating is far more effective. Get out of the office and immerse yourself in the great outdoors.

4. Make A Long-Term Investment

Phones are outdated in a year, TVs keep getting bigger and your clothes will be out of style before you wear them more than a few times. Not only do boats usually last longer than cars, boating activities have been around for years. Skiing, fishing, sunbathing and almost all other boating activities were around before you were born, so they aren’t going anywhere.

Yes, owning a boat does come with financial responsibility, but your boat could become a staple of family recreation. Many boats are passed down through generations for years of family enjoyment. If for any reason you are unable to use your boat down the road, a boat that is properly cared for can maintain resale value extremely well.

5. There Are Endless Activities

Cruising, tanning, conversation, fishing, tubing, sailing, knee-boarding, skiing, relaxing, dining, bodyboarding, wakeboarding, sightseeing, swimming and diving. That just scratches the surface. If you can honestly say you don’t enjoy even one activity on that list, then by all means, spend your money elsewhere.

6. Enjoy Health Benefits

Aside from stress reduction, some boating activities like tubing, skiing and wakeboarding are equivalent to intense workouts. You’ll be having so much fun you won’t even realize you’re burning calories and building muscle as well as, if not better than, you would at the gym.

As noted in point number three, getting outside, breathing the fresh air and partaking in a recreational activity is a must, especially for those of us that are under substantial stress every day during the week.

7. Boating is Rewarding for all Ages

As an adult, it’s a great feeling to commandeer a boat of any kind. Calling it yours is very rewarding. To top that off, seeing the smile on a child’s face after a fun day on the water is absolutely priceless.

The entire family can be involved in boat ownership. Teenagers can be taught the responsibilities of maintaining an investment while reaping the benefits of caring for a boat. Kids can do the smaller tasks on the boat, teaching them work ethic and giving them confidence in their abilities.

8. Water is Closer Than You Think

Don’t let your urban environment discourage you, as 90% of Americans live less than an hour from a navigable body of water! Even a small boat on a small body of water easily beats watching the TV all day. For most of us, location is no excuse.

9. Develop New Relationships

Aside from the friends you’ll make courtesy of your rock star status (see point number two), owning a boat makes you a part of a bigger community. As you’re on the water, by the dock or around the marina, you’ll have the opportunity to connect and network with boat owners from all walks of life. To some, this is one of the most rewarding parts of boat ownership.

10. Boating Is Actually Affordable

To be clear, usually individuals underestimate the expenses involved with owning a boat. Despite this, if you make wise purchasing decisions and only buy within your means, there are many affordable options out there.

20 Mind-Blowing “Let That Sink In” Facts

There is so much information out there, and, when you arrange it in the right and fun way, it can be totally mind blowing. Take a look at the list we have here!

  1. Since its discovery, in 1930, Pluto has not yet made a full orbit of the sun.It went from undiscovered, to planet, to not planet in less than a Pluto year.
  2. The Great Sphinx of Giza is so old that it was the ancient Egyptians themselves who performed the first restoration after digging it from under the dunes, over 1000 years after it had been built.
  3. Over the space of three days, an estimated 165 people survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bomb attacks.
  4. Cows kill more Americans than terrorists. Most years
  5. About 40 percent of the world’s food is wasted. And a lot of that is before it even hits the shelves. SAD
  6. Next year, there will be pornstars who were born in 2000. Woah! Check it out.
  7. Lobsters don’t die of old age. Taking into consideration that humanity has only explored a small percentage of the ocean: there could very well be a BIG FUCKING LOBSTER just chilling out there.
  8. Google’s Deepmind self learning AI “AlphaZero” spent 4 hours learning chess, and proceeded to beat the top chess engine in the world.
  9. There is, on average, a supernova explosion every fifty years in the Milky Way. On average, there are thirty every second in the observable universe.
  10. Probably too late for this to be seen. But if you take into account the fact that on average people sleep (or should sleep) 8 hours a day, if/when you get 99 years of age, you will have only been awake for 66 years; having spent 33 YEARS of your life sleeping. That’s why I always stay up late…
  11. Fanta started as a Coca-Cola substitute in 1940s Nazi Germany. So if you like Fanta you must be a Nazi.
  12. As you get closer to black hole, time goes slower. This means that everything farther away would experience time faster and faster as you get closer and closer to the black hole. A second for you could be a billion years for those outside of it. Thus, if you fell into a black hole and looked outside, you would see the universe die with you.
  13. Froot Loops are all the same flavor.
  14. There are more tigers privately owned in Texas than tigers in the wild.
  15. Next to the US army, Disney world is the largest buyer and importer of explosives in the USA

  17. The Moon orbits us from the west to the east, but we see it move across the sky east to west because of the rate of the Earth’s rotation – our observation is like being in a faster car watching a slower car (heading in the same absolute direction) fall further and further behind us.
  18. The first electric car was invented at the end of the nineteenth century and it went 65 mph.
  19. If the earth was the size of a marble you would need seven miles of space to build a scale model of the solar system.
  20. There was a time in history when trees existed but the fungi which causes wood to rot had not yet evolved to digest wood.

7 Things Guys Think Are Weird But Women Find Totally Normal

When you’re interacting with women, whether it’s one that you’re dating, a friend, an acquaintance, or a total stranger, there are almost certainly things that guys are going to do from time to time that they register as, well, a little bit weird or creepy. But trust me when I tell you that, women don’t mind it, really.

  1. Guys that swear in a normal conversation
    • Women don’t care when you curse. When women hear you, you get all flustered/apologetic but rest assured, they don’t care at all.
  2. Giving women a solid handshake.
    • Men just tend to offer the tips of their fingers, or a weak handshake, as though they’ll break our hands. I am telling you, it is okay. You won’t break anything. LOL 
  3. Texting or calling shortly after a date.
    • We live in a world with a constant flow of communication; it is not abnormal to message me a couple hours after we parted ways to say “hey, I had a good time.” just don’t overdo it. But anyone who gets annoyed that you contacted them “so soon after the date” isn’t really worth your time anyway. 
  4. Being upfront with your intentions.
    • There is nothing wrong with finding me attractive and wanting a date. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with telling me that you find me attractive, as long as it’s phrased politely. Also good to mention while being upfront don’t forget to have tact. 
  5. Making solid compliments.
    • Women love being complimented and having the person walk away after. It takes a lot of the pressure off and feels more genuine. Like they are giving a compliment without the expectation of anything, you know? Just being kind for the sake of being kind and making someone feel good. 
  6. Saying “Hi”.
    • As long as a guy backs off if I say I’m busy or whatever it’s fine. Nothing weird and creepy about it though. 
  7. Being introverted.
    • The stigma of introverts being weird and creepy is odd, because I find the quiet guy much more approachable than the loud extroverted one who pulls most of the room’s attention. Plus, you get to talk about lots of things that make sense too!
