Those Crazy Germans Build World’s Largest Man-Made Tornado

This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. Engineers at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Germany have built the world’s largest man-made tornado. The 34.43 meter high tornado was built to keep smoke from making it’s way into exhibit areas in the museum in the event of a large fire. The tornado in the photos uses carbon dioxide vapor and takes a good 7 plus minutes for the 144 jets to get 28 tons of air wound up enough to create the vortex necessary to sustain the column. Once running, the tornado will effectively suck in any smoke and carry it up to vents to be expelled to the outside.

Be Prepared With The Emergency Zombie Kit

Because you just never know when your going to find yourself in the midst of a Zombie attack you should always be prepared. I keep an Emergency Zombie Kit under the seat of my Toyota Tundra just in case I take a wrong turn and end up in “Night of the Living Dead” or some other place infested with Zombies. Seriously folks, you just never know. The kit itself includes a shotgun, shells, a knife and the lid doubles as a riot shield.

Remember your Boy Scout training: Be Prepared. You Girl Scouts, I hear Zombies like “Brownies” so just throw them.
