What would you do if you were snorkling in the middle of ocean, got separated from your buddies, and started getting circled by a 12 foot long tiger shark? Would you try to swim away or try to find a way to get to your boat? Apparently this guy engaged the shark for 2 hours, spearing it 7 times before finally finishing it off with a knife. Can you say badass?

I came across these pretty cool images on the net. Some guy decided to illustrate what 1 trillion dollars actually looks like, in light of all this talk about bailouts amounting to at least that amount.
Here’s a $10,000 bundle (100 pcs of $100 bills)
Here’s a million dollars (100 packets of $10,000) -> I think there’s something wrong with this pic, it doesn’t look like 100 packets…

400BHP from a 5.0 V8 with an aftermarket full exhaust kit that sounds like hell unleashed. I cannot stress how menacing this car sounded.

I came across these pictures recently while browsing for stuff about my favorite game Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on Playstation 3. Apparently the developers of the game (Polyphony Digital) use Autodesk Maya exclusively for creating the models of the cars and environments. I think it’s really cool that a game such as GT5 Prologue, which is known for extreme attention to detail and for being one of the first games to harness the full power of the PS3, uses an off the shelf product available to most consumers in creating their models.
I was watching CNBC Squawk Box again last night when the news came, AIG posted a record loss for the 4th quarter 2008 to the tune of $62 Billion (around 3 Trillion Pesos)!!! That is the biggest quarterly loss ever recorded by any company in history! That is more than the entire net worth of America’s richest man Bill Gates (who’s worth around $57 Billion).
