turtle on wheels-video
Keepers at a zoo in Palestine have attached wheels to the shell of a turtle who became depressed after her hind legs were paralysed.
The keeper at Jerusalem's Biblical Zoo said that they have attached a pair of wheels onto the rear of Avra's (10year old ,25 kg turtle) shell to help her scoot about with a bit more speed.
The turtle had refused to eat much, move or show any interest in her surroundings, but since his innovative addition she is happily adventuring again.

That, is an air-conditioned bus stop (presumably near Burj Al Arab hotel, where one night stay costs about US$ 1,000). Must be nice to be rich! (though why would they take the bus, then?)
fish aluminum skate board
Why ride just a board when you could ride one of our shaped aluminum boards? This fish board measures 9" at its widest point, and 6" at its narrowest. It is 32" long. It comes with Seismic quick turn 45° trucks on the front, and Seismic stable turn 30° trucks on the back, abec 5 speed bearings, and 70mm soft urethane wheels. 62mm vented wheels are available as an option. Here’s the extra trick part: there are illuminated riser pads under the trucks to give the board an underglow effect at night. Additionally, you can choose between riser pads or lit wheels.
toilets $5 million - but sold online for just $12,549.
SEATTLE - August 16, 2008 -- City officials have finally gotten rid of five high-tech self-cleaning toilets that cost Seattle $5 million - but sold online for just $12,549. The city installed the modernistic stand-alone toilets four years ago, hoping they would provide tourists and the homeless a place to do their business while downtown. But the automated loos became better known for drug use and prostitution than for relief.
Neighbors and analysts said they were less cost-effective than regular public restrooms, and in May, the City Council voted to sell them on eBay. After a failed first attempt, when a $89,000 minimum failed to attract a single bid, the city revised its strategy in hopes of sparking a bidding free-for-all.
