Amazing Brain Surgery
4-Inch Knife Buried in Man's Brain

How to Lose One Million Euros
An answer to this question can be given by a 28-year-old German who was driving at a high speed on a wet motorway.
First, it was announced that the driver was going Pagani Zonda F Clubsport Roadsterat 320 km/h (198 mph) on the motorway near Spotorno, Italy. He then lost control of a vehicle and crashed into guardrail on the opposite side, he and his passenger were lucky to survive. But according to the recent information, the car’s speed was just over 100km/h (62 mph) when he lost control because of the bad quality of the road and standing water. The driver said that even at this speed "controlling the high powerful Zonda is almost impossible." Apparently, the owner bought the car just recently. To give you an idea, this car costs about 1 million 200 thousand Euros.
