What Does A $5 Million Model Airport Look Like?

It looks like this and it's at Hamburg’s Miniatur Wunderland. It took six years to complete the massive model which is a part of the world's largest model railway. The model has computer controlled-planes which take off and land at the airport. The railway has over six miles of track and 200,000 inhabitants. Pretty amazing.

German Student Assaults Hells Angels with a Puppy

In a situation I only wish my mind had engineered; a 26-year-old drove into a gathering of Hells Angels, dropped his pants, then threw a puppy at the group of bikers and took off. He then went to a construction site and stole a bulldozer, which correct me if I'm wrong, seems like the worst get-away vehicle ever. I guess that is unless you plan on pushing anything and everything out of your way. That's not what this guy did though. Instead, he just used the less than speedy bulldozer to escape and caused a three mile traffic jam. This made it easy for the police to find him at his home where he was later apprehended.

What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear, said a spokesman for local police. He said the student had lately been suffering from depression.

The puppy was now in safe hands at a local animal shelter, the spokesman added.

I don't believe I've heard of a better cure for depression. Maybe it was just a crazy side effect of his meds

Lufthansa Offers to Fly the Guy Who Lost the iPhone to Munich

He might want to take them up on their offer... just so he doesn't have to face the wrath of Steve Jobs. I assume Gray is still in hiding.

German City Pays $134K to Find Lost Cobra

German officials in the city of Muelheim took place in a three week endeavor trying to find the missing snake. The pet monocled cobra is highly poisonous, so the fire department cleared everyone from an entire city block. They then removed all of the furniture from the owner's apartment and gutted the place. After still not finding the snake, every window and door in the building was sealed shut and sticky traps were laid. Yes, yes... but how does the story end? The snake was found dead on the rooftop of the apartment. The owner who is 19-years-old and unemployed will unlikely be paying back the 100,000 euros ($133,700) for the public hazard his snake caused.
