Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space. I'd call that a pretty neat super power.

Gotta be one of the ugliest creatures on the planet. What looks like a "snout" of sorts looks like man made plastic.

Came across this photo and I have no idea what it is. It looks like a professionally taken one. Can any read what is above the headers? Does it say MARK V LINCOLN?

Early Mustangs look great with Mag Wheels. But IMO - should have the dual red band tires as they were so unique and only available on the 65/66 V8 Mustangs.

They are portrayed as being virtually indestructible but in reality - they aren't. I was reading an article where they loaded them into different muzzle velocity rifle bullets to see if they could survive. Anything over 500 MPH (the tests went to 2000 MPH) destroyed them.
