The Tumbler

The film The Dark Knight's newest Batmobile, known as "The Tumbler" is without a doubt the most capable car on the road. How Stuff Works tells us the film's makers "manufactured four complete, street-ready race cars," which use an actual 5.7-liter Chevy V-8 engine. "This engine has been tuned so that it can provide the power necessary to take a 5,000-pound vehicle from zero to 60 mph in 5 seconds." Those enormous tires are real. "The rear tires are 37-inch-diameter, off-the-shelf, 4x4 mud tires called Super Swampers made by Interco," while the front features a set of Hoosier racing tires. The rear uses a standard truck axle, but the front wheels are not mounted on an axle at all. Each is instead mounted on "independent suspension elements inspired by the long-travel suspensions of Baja racing trucks. When airborne, the front wheels pop out about 30 inches on their suspensions to absorb the shock of a 30-foot fall."

Lion

The lion is a large carnivore from the cat family. Its current habitat is limited to some areas of Africa and India, but there was a time when lions could be found all over Africa, Asia, and southern Europe. The lion's dignified appearance and demeanor, along with its ranking among the strongest animals in the world, make it known as the "king of beasts." Lions usually travel in groups known as "prides, " usually consisting of one or two males, three to six females and several children. They feed on many different things, their prey including everything from beetles and reptiles, to large herbivorous animals.

Ultra Realistic Paper Crafts : MT01

It’s a genius idea – unite a hi-tech 1,670cc V-twin with an aluminium sports frame and cutting-edge suspension and brakes – and you’ve got a sports riding revolution. There is nothing like the MT-01: a massive engine that produces huge torque for hammer-blow acceleration, a sports chassis that knifes through the turns, a pulsating exhaust note that’s total aural ecstasy and monumental styling that’ll stop the traffic.

Dome of The Rock

The Dome of the Rock, Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah, Hebrew : Kipat Hasela is an Islamic shrine which houses the Foundation Stone, the holiest spot in Judaism, and is a major landmark located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It was completed in 691, making it the oldest extant Islamic building in the world. Its significance stems from the religious beliefs regarding the rock at its heart. The Dome of the Rock is located at the visual center of an ancient man-made platform known as the Temple Mount, which Muslims refer to as the "Noble Sanctuary". The platform, greatly enlarged under the rule of Herod the Great, is the site of the Second Jewish Temple which was destroyed during the Roman Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE. In 637 CE, Jerusalem was conquered by the Rashidun Caliphate army during the Islamic invasion of the Byzantine Empire. [Wikipedia].
