Seven Legged Lamb Born In New Zealand...Here is a pretty crazy photo of a lamb that was born in New Zealand. It was ranked as one of the top most emailed photos on Yahoo. Apparently the lamb was born with seven legs as you can see in the photo. It doesn't look like the lamb is even able to stand up as it has some many legs. There isn't any other information on the caption for the photo other than it's a one a in a few million occurance that a lamb is born like this. Are there any nuclear reactors in New Zealand? If so, this lamb mi...Weird Facial Expression Robot Gets Confused By Bab...Here is a pretty bizarre video of a face only test robot that does facial expressions.

different scanner to get
codes for different cars or trucks. This result in fewer tools required
to get the code which will help in simplification of the process and at
the same time speed up the fixing of the vehicles.
The
good news for all vehicles drivers is… if you have a vehicle
made after 1995-96; you can go to any local automotive parts store and
they usually will offer a FREE scanning of the codes for you. They do
this usually to help promote their parts.
A Snap-On
scanner is what most independent automotive garages are using. This is
expensive (cost at least in the 4 figure) but if you are doing a lot of
vehicles, it will pay for itself. However, if you are driving only your
own 1-2 vehicles, you can buy a cheap OBD2 decoder for under $50. The
link to the decoder supplier is given if you are an ATS member. Fixing
your check engine light is getting better every time.

There is a photo up on the most emailed Yahoo photos of a cross breed horse in a zoo. Apparently the parents of the horse were a horse and a zebra which gave the resulting animal a very strange pattern. The head and rear of the horse have zebra stripes while the middle of the horse (front legs and stripe down the back) are just white.

Here's a funny video of an automated weathercam which was displayed on live Czech TV that was hacked to display a mushroom cloud. The footage looks pretty realistic with the camera whiting out for good period before showing the cloud. There wasn't any shockwave though which kind of gave it away as being a prank.
