tornado tank stormchasers Tornado Chasing Tank from Storm Chasers

This is a picture of the TIV-2, Tornado Intercept Vehicle, from the Discovery Channel’s "Storm Chasers." This truck is essentially a tank filled with the latest technology in order to take readings during a tornado while still being able to avoid destruction.

This baby has a top speed of 61 mph, comes fitted with 1/8th inch welded steel plate body and hydraulic skirts used to deflect high-speed winds. The TIV2 can film super high resolution IMAX video through the turret which is constructed from tempered glass and steel, while still being able to rotate 360 degrees. Fully loaded, the vehicle is 17500 lbs with a 92 gallon fuel tank and 750 mile range.

Check out the show "Storm Chasers" on the Discovery Channel to see this baby in action.

I have an old iMac computer, and i have No clue what to do with it. It doesn’t work, I can’t sell it, all it’s good for is collecting dust in a corner. Well, as i was looking at recycle centers i came across a solution. turn the computer into a 1/2 gallon fish tank. Done and done. Although i don’t know how to to this myself anyone who does leave detailed instructions in the comment section below.

If your going to insist upon getting a gold fish, at least get it a cool looking place. Instead of a conventional bowl, how about a retro and cool "space" bowl?

It’s available from Wrapables for $21.95. Depressed goldfish not included.
