    I love this.
    Rents for $50,000. Per day.
    Or $100,000. Weekly rate.
    Tack on another $50,000. for the technician.
    And $25,000. for delivery, setup, tune, and return back to the shop.

    Want to rent it out????

    Sure. I'm always interested in making a quick buck. I think we'd have to splurge and get the technician tho because if we're paying that kind of money he's going to take requests. Hells Bells and Enter Sandman for starters. What else should he play?

    Rio Celeste, a 14-kilometer river nestled in Costa Rica’s Alajuela province, puzzled scientists up until 4-years ago, as it had an unusual turquoise color.
    A group of scientists from the Universidad the Costa Rica and the Universidad National, took water samples from both Rio Celeste, and discovered that the mysterious color came from a mineral composed of aluminum, silicon and oxygen, called aluminosilicate. When it’s suspended in the water, the reflected sunlight tricks the human eye into seeing a turquoise color.

    Louisville, KY, is home to the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, which many people believe is one of the most haunted place on earth.
    While the building is now primarily a tourist attraction for those with creepy predilections, it used to be a functioning tuberculosis hospital.

    In 1910, when the hospital was established, this meant a place where between 8,000 and 63,000 people died bloody, excruciating deaths, as there would be no real cure for tuberculosis until streptomycin was invented in 1943.
    Because there was no real way to treat tuberculosis while the sanatorium was open, doctors did what they could to treat the illness. While some treatments were pleasant if ineffective, like fresh air, sunshine, rest, and good food, others were basically torture. 

    Before the invention of streptomycin, tuberculosis was basically a death sentence.
    This meant that a lot of the people who entered Waverly Hills weren’t leaving alive.
    Bodies had to be disposed of somehow, and staff didn’t want to do it where the patients could see. The solution was a “body chute” or a tunnel that led from the hospital to nearby railroad tracks.
    From there, a motorized rail and cable system lifted the bodies into trains that would take them away.

    Outside of Beijing, past the Great Wall, there is a version of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, complete with cowboys, a church and Route 66 (which doesn't actually run through the actual Wyoming).
    And China's Jackson Hole homes have sold well.
    Realtors showed "Nightline" a home that cost almost $2 million because it's only about an hour and a half away from the Chinese capital.

    That’s a pool of water, not the canyon edge.

    The water is actually 370’ deep.
    *EDIT*
    Apparently the water is not 370’ deep in this picture,
    only deeper than it looks. :smile:

    Such an odd picture.
    I’m wondering the situation and why are the majority of cars white?

    I believe that's from one of Japan's Tsunamis.

    I imagine the box in the upper right corner has a Bristol accent, and the mop in the center sounds like a Disney movie villain explaining their evil plan to the hero right before the climactic battle.
