The car that runs on air man!!

Rediff had an article today showing a car that runs on air (no it doesn't fly, compressed air is the fuel)

"A car that runs on air could soon be a reality for Indians.

Tata Motors has signed an agreement with Moteur Development International of France to develop a car that runs on compressed air, thus making it very economical to run and be almost totally pollution free."

I have a few doubts about its success though firstly it looks odd

i mean who will be tempted to buy that?

And secondly it will need to make special counters at gas stations/petrol pums to refuel so this will create a chicken egg situation what should come first; no one will buy a car if theres no fuel station readily available and petrol pums wont open a special counter for air refuel unless theres a good enough demand for this.

Thirdly going by the tata motors record of the Rs 1 Lakh car, it will take a long time to come to India. Also looking at the story of reva till now such cars would take a very long time before it can be called any success.

For more info on car follow the air car.

George Carlin on Religion

Now this is really funny, but can be a bit too crude for any religious person. So hear this only if you are a total atheist, you will have a lot of fun :).

She Walks in Beauty

She Walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek and o'er that brow.
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.


George Gordon, Lord Bryon.
