As seen on Top Gear: fastest production car speed record: Bugatti Veyron (8.0 litre W16, 64v DOHC quad-turbocharged petrol engine, 1,184 brake horsepower, 0–300 km/h in 16.7 seconds)
Bugatti's official test driver Pierre Henri Raphanel piloted the Super Sport edition and was clocked at an average of 431.16 km/h. 
Imagine driving that on the German AutoBahn(link to fastest production BWM doing 330).
My speedrecord: 245 km/h, in an 25 years old Porsche 924 on the AutoBahn, A57 Köln- Nijmegen.

Who does the president of the USA call
when some lowlife Italian hits on your wife?


Right, he calls the most powerful man on earth.

Fragment form the Daily Show: when was the best time?

Just saw a rather ridiculous movie called Zeitgeist, another conspiracy movie. Especially funny is the part where the creator assumes that all ancient languages have the same phonetics as English, and thus Jesus is not the "son", but the sun god. However, later on in the movie an interesting part follows which at least reflects what a large part of the world experiences: the American IMF/ Worldbank closing down schools and hospitals in underdeveloped countries. Brazilian president Lula proudly announced some time back that Brazil had paid of its' debt to the IMF, to the last dime. With the IMF out of the way, Brazil could now start developing itself. Prediction of this movie is that Brazil will "mysteriously" destabilize, forcing the Federal Government to take loans again, and having to follow IMF dictates once more. Globalization and free trade seem to go hand in hand with income disparity and misery.
