Man Builds Motorcycle From His Broken Car

 While stranded in the desert in 1993, a gentleman named Emile Leray, prevented from driving from Tan-tan to Tilemsem, Morocco due to a military blockade, decided to circumvent the blockade by driving his car through the desert, only to break down some tens of kilometers from Tan-tan. Like any sane desert driver, he had ample food and water on hand, so, not wanting to leave his gear to walk back to the city for fear of it being stolen in his absence, he chose instead to build a motorcycle from his car. In the desert with a hacksaw and a box of scraps.

RELEASE THE FALCONS!!!

 

 French Open organisers have determined that their growing pigeon problem has put most to the edge.

Their solution? Why, its Falcons!

The French Tennis Federation has enlisted eight of the birds, that can fly at up to 300km/h, with the task of keeping the pigeons away. Why you ask?

Romney’s iPhone app gets no applause from 'Amercia'!

Editorial Review: Airport security a confusing experience for traveler

This article was about how ridiculous it was when the author of the article had a small Swiss Army knife connected to a very normal key chain and was threatened to be arrested by the airport police on his/her way to Washington D.C..

I found this sort of thing to be over the top. Its not like someone is going assassinate the president with a Swiss Army Knife.

Editorial Review: Students look with Fresh Eyes

This article was about a group of third and fourth graders who, with their fairly persistent teacher Amanda Johnson, were able to visit the Statesmen journal offices in order to learn more about journalism.

The article was describing how good it was for more younger kids to go out and look into the lives of every day journalist and I would agree.
