Ten fastest and most powerful motorcycles in the world. Average cruising speed of jet aircraft is about 950 kilometers per hour, which is only a thirty percent larger than reported in the data sheet of the most powerful motorcycle in Tomahawk. Just the thing, planes fly, and the bikes - no. Producers are after record-breaking results, because there are people who want all the same-thing. For the extreme limits of permitted lie on the edge of the possible, otherwise how to explain the dispersal of two-wheeled iron horse to a point five hundred miles an hour.

01. Dodge Tomahawk

Four-wheel bike accelerates to 97 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds. If you forget about the counter-resistance, then, according to the developers, the bike will be able to develop 640 kilometers per hour. True, this is only theoretical value, which is taken from the real parameters of the power plant: 8.3-liter ten-cylinder and 500 hp

The deep web: Incredible new map of the undersea cables that keep 99 per cent of the world clicking

The only time the world is even aware of the undersea cables that carry internet signals around the world is when they are cut off - such as when a cable connecting Europe to the Middle East failed last year, or when a trailing ship's anchor cut through a cable under the Indian ocean.

Now, a new interactive map from Telegeography should help ships to steer clear of the multi-billion-dollar network of high-power cables through which 99 per cent of global internet traffic travels.

Broadband under the sea: The cables that connect the continents

The map - using info from the Global Bandwidth Research Service - shows the position of cables (both planned ones and ones currently on the sea bed), and lets you know their landing stations, who owns them, how long they are, and when they'll come into operation if they are not already. The version on Telegeography's site lets you click on any cable who find out more.

Tim Stronge, of Telegeography, who created the map, says, 'Submarine cables are very expensive to build (generally ranging from $100m - $500m) but they deliver a huge amount of capacity.'


'Some of the older cables deliver only 20 Gbps - most of the new ones can deliver several terabits (terabit = 1,000 gigabit) of capacity,' says Stronge - home internet connections are typically between one and 50 megabits per second (a megabit being 1/1000th of a gigabit.

Germany repatriated to Namibia Tuesday 20 African skulls taken from the area about a century ago when it was under its colonial rule and sent to Germany for questionable racial studies.

 A skull from Germany on display in the city of Windhoek, Namibia, Tuesday, Oct 4, 2011. With warriors on horseback and teary-eyed women ululating their joy, hundreds of Namibians on Tuesday welcomed home the skulls of ancestors taken to Germany for racist experiments more than a century ago. The skulls are "testimony to the horrors of colonialism and German cruelty against our people," Prime Minister Nahas Angula said at an airport ceremony, "The Namibian nation accepts these mortal remains as a symbolic closure of a tragic chapter."

It was one of the oldest settlements in Singapore. The original settlers were predominantly Malays.

A new 4.2 km-long Punggol Waterway is built at a cost of S$225 million.
