Only 350 of Ferrari Lusso’s were made and Steve McQueen had to have one, but boy was the color of brown an ugly choice. McQueen purchased the car in 1963, and just 10 years later in 1973 Steve decided to trade it in for a newer Ferrari. Michael Regalia, a car restorer worked hard to get the Ferrari Lusso back to its original appearance.

Man gives up his pet Ornate Golden Baboon Spider 2007-08-17 15:09:41 Suffolk animal rescue officials were today called in to a man’s house in Rocky Point as he wanted to give up his pet spider. But it is not just any spider it is in fact an Ornate Golden Baboon spider. The man decided that he did not want his pet anymore, maybe it has something to do with its venom is as toxic as a scorpion and the fact that the spider will live for up to 25 years. The Ornate Golden Baboon Spider had to be taken away by the Suffolk Society for the Protection of Animals. SPCA Chief Roy Gross said about the spider “This will make a regular tarantula look docile,” “It doesn’t take anything to tick it off, and it jumps three feet.” The body of the spider is both large and fat, the body and legs are also very hairy which gives the Ornate Golden Baboon Spider a more bulky look.

Toxic Magazine not loading or running very slow: Why? 2007-08-17 12:53:59 My cousin has said to me that he had trouble going on the Toxic Magazine website, so I tried to go on the site purely to help my cousin out honest. Well I did try and I did get the site up, but it was looking very strange indeed. Well when I saw that toxicmagazine.com website would not load I started to wonder why, after much searching I think I have the answer, well two anyway. One answer could be that people are searching for Britney Spears with the word toxic in a lot and maybe in has slowed their server down. Another reason could be with Google Trends, I have noticed that Toxic Magazine has been a high searched term and that could be causing problems for the site. The problem is how long will the site be down for? Written by Peter for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News ...

Putin Orders Russia to Restart Cold War Patrols: What Do You Think? 2007-08-17 12:42:41 Russia has currently taken the harsh decision to undergo a Soviet-era practice of sending out its dangerous bomber aircrafts on long-range flights designed to protect the country against code-red style situations, with President Vladimir Putin behind it all. Mr Putin said “the move to resume the flights permanently after a 15-year suspension was in response to security threats posed by other military powers.” Apparently, about 14 of these bombers have taken off from Russian grounds recently, around Friday time. What do you think of the situation? Is Putin being unnecessarily harsh? Or just doing what he needs to, to protect his people? Let us know how you feel.
