Tata Nano, World's Cheapest City Car To Date at US$2000

At approximately US$2,000 (Rs.100,000), the Tata Nano is the world's cheapest car to date. This city car is manufactured by Tata Motors of India and aimed primarily for the Indian market (too bad for the US market). It was presented on January 10, 2008, at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India and will be available in on March 23, 2009 to the Indian consumers.

With a dimension of 122 in. X 59.1 in. X 63 in. (LxWxH), it's amazing that this car has a capacity of four passengers and have four doors.


The prefix "nano-" derives from the Greek root 'nanos', meaning dwarf. "Nano" also means "small" in Gujarati, the native language of the Tata family, founders of the Tata Group.

Snailfish, World's Deepest Living Fish

Snailfish is the world's deepest living fish. In this video, scientists were able to film several snailfish nearly five miles below the surface of Japan Trench in the Pacific ocean. This is the first time snailfishes are filmed at this depth.

This video was taken by the a UK-Japan team using a remote-operated landers designed to withstand immense pressures to comb the world's deepest depths for marine life.

Pygmy Marmoset, World's Smallest Monkey

With body length ranging from 14-to-16-centimeters, the Pygmy Marmoset is the world's smallest monkey. This tiniest of all monkeys is a native of the rainforest canopies of western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and eastern Peru. The males of the specie weigh around 140 grams, and females only 120 grams.


The Pygmy Marmoset has a tawny coat, and a ringed tail that can be as long as its body. In common with other Callitrichinids, it has claws instead of nails on all its digits except the big toe. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, leaves, insects, and sometimes even small reptiles. Their small weight allows them to reach the very highest leaves of a tree, and to exploit the otherwise little- used food sources there.

Jesse Sullivan, World's First Bionic Man

Being the first recipient of a bionic arm, Jesse Sullivan is the world's first bionic man. He lost his arm when an accident happen while working as a high-power electrical lineman. The accident caused his two arms. With a bionic arm from the innovative "Bionic" research at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Jesse, is able to do things he couldn't do after the accident.


Developed within the Neural Engineering Center for Artificial Limbs (NECAL) at RIC, Todd Kuiken, MD, PhD, pioneered the muscle reinnervation procedure which takes an amputee's own nerves and connects them to a healthy muscle. In this case, four of Mr. Sullivan's nerves were dissected from the shoulder and transferred to the muscles of his chest. Doing so allows the user to move his or her prosthetic arm as if it were a real limb – by simply thinking about what they want the arm to do. The "Bionic Arm," or myoelectric arm, is driven using electrical signals from the muscles of the chest, now activated by the user's own thought-generated nerve impulses. These impulses are sensed, via surface electrodes, from the pectoral muscle and carried through to the mechanical arm, causing the arm to move.

World’s Smallest Bowl of Ramen at 1 Micron in Width

This world’s smallest bowl of ramen at 1 Micron in width (1/100th the width of a human hair), contains dozens of 20-nanometer (1/50,000-mm) thick noodles. It was created by University of Tokyo professor Masayuki Nakao by using a metal particle beam to carve the bowl from silicon, and a mixed of soup of ethanol and catalyst inside the bowl to form the carbon nanotube "noodles".

Tree of Ténéré, World's Most Isolated Tree

The Tree of Ténéré was once considered the world's most isolated tree before it was knocked down by an allegedly drunk Libyan truck driver in 1973. It was the only acacia tree within 250 miles and it served as a landmark on caravan routes through the Ténéré region of the Sahara in northeast Niger.


It was the last surviving tree of a group of trees that grew when the desert was less parched than it is today. The tree had stood alone for decades. During the winter of 1938–1939 a well was dug near the tree and it was found that the roots of the tree reached the water table 33–36 meters below the surface.

Shigeo Tokuda, World's Oldest Porn Star from Japan at 74

Shigeo Tokuda, a 74 years old retiree from Japan is the world's oldest porn star. After retiring, Shigeo Tokuda got bored of just staying at home and decided to pursue a career in the film industry. He has now starred in more than 250 porn films in his over 14 years career and his producers are planning to sell his cds/dvds to other countries.


“Lately I’m also starring as the main actor in a porn series set in a senior-care home. The girl that I’m costarring with might play my son’s wife, a daughter of a relative that I happen to be looking after, or a helper at one of the care homes.”

Here's a video of him done by CNN.

Songbirds' Throat Muscles, World's Fastest Muscle

Scientist have recently found that the songbirds' throat muscles is the world's fastest muscle. It can move a hundred times faster than the blink of an eye.


"[Pigeons] have really boring, slow songs, and it made me wonder what the muscles in songbirds were like, so I decided to find out."

What Elemans and colleagues discovered is that zebra finches and European starlings can change their tunes at frequencies as high as 250 hertz via direct muscle control.

This means that they are moving their muscles a hundred times faster than a blink of the human eye.

Fugu or Pufferfish, World's Most Dangerous Food

With poison 1000 times lethal than cyanide, Fugu or the pufferfish is the world's most dangerous food. Fugu is included in more than 80 Japanese menus and one of Japan's most sought after dish. It is serve in the country's most expensive restaurants usually in traditional Japanese setting.

The Fugu's poison is called tetrodotoxin and is located in the internal organs, especially the liver and ovaries, and also the skin. If prepared incorrectly, a meal of Fugu will result in 100% death if not treated accordingly. For this reason, only licensed chef is allowed to prepare it in Japanese restaurants.

The poison acts by paralyzing nerves making the victim unable to move or breath. They are fully conscious until their lungs fail and eventually the victim will die. The only way to treat a victim is to use respirator until the toxin subsides.

Millau Viaduct, World's Tallest Vehicular Bridge at 343 Meters

The Millau Viaduct located in France is the world's tallest vehicular bridge with one mast's summit at 343 metres. Designed by civil engineer Michel Virlogeux, it is a large cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France.


Millau Viaduct is located in Millau, France, in the Département of Aveyron. Before the bridge was constructed, traffic had to descend into the Tarn River valley and pass along the route nationale N9 near the town of Millau, causing heavy congestion at the beginning and end of the July and August vacation season. The bridge now traverses the Tarn valley above its lowest point, linking the Causse du Larzac to the Causse Rouge, and is inside the perimeter of the Grands Causses regional natural park.

Snakehead Fish, The World’s Most Evil Fish Invades Britain

Snakehead fish, a carnivorous fish tagged as the world’s most evil fish because it eats almost everything in it's path, is now is Britain. It was originally can be found only in Southeast Asia.


News that a 2ft specimen had been hooked in an English river caused widespread panic among anglers and conservationists. An Environment Agency source said last night: "The reaction was, ‘Oh s***’. This is the ultimate invasive species — if it starts breeding here it’s a disaster." Angler Andy Alder caught the snakehead while using a sprat as bait for pike on the River Witham near North Hykeham, Lincs. Andy, of Lincoln, said: "It had a gob full of razor-sharp teeth. To be honest it looked terrifying."

Biggest Black Hole in Universe Discovered

Scientists discovered the biggest black hole in the entire universe. It has the size of 18 billion suns.

The biggest black hole in the universe weighs in with a respectable mass of 18 billion Suns, and is about the size of an entire galaxy. Just like in the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito flick “Twins”, the massive black hole has a puny twin hovering nearby. By observing the orbit of the smaller black hole, astronomers are able to test Einstein's theory of general relativity with stronger gravitational fields than ever before. The biggest black hole beats out its nearest competitor by six times. Fortunately, it’s 3.5 billion light years away, forming the heart of a quasar called OJ287. Quasars are extremely bright objects in which matter spiraling into a giant black hole emits large amounts of radiation.

World's Most Expensive Dessert at $25,000

The World's Most Venomous Snake

Inland Taipan is the world's most venomous snake. It lives in central Australia and is a species of Taipan belonging to the Elapidae family.

A single bite from the Inland Taipan contains enough venom to kill as many as 100 human adults, or 250,000 mice. The average venom yield of this snake is 44 mg, with a 110-mg being the largest recorded yield. Its venom is 50 times more toxic than that of the Indian Cobra and 650 - 850 times more toxic than that of a Western- or Eastern Diamondback. The Inland Taipan has an extremely neurotoxic venom which can cause death to an adult human in as little as 45 minutes.

Although highly venomous it is a relatively timid snake provided that it is left alone. Even so, if it is suspected that a bite from this snake has occurred, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Although known as the most venomous land snake in the world, there have been no documented human fatalities. All known bites have been treated using antivenom.
