 World's Largest Gold Bar

The Mitsubishi Materials Corporation of Japan poured the World's largest Gold bar.

The bar is 17.9 inches by 8.9 inches and 6.7 inches high.

All though it takes up the same amount of space as a large shoe box, 

you would not be able to lift it as It weighs 551.15 pounds. 

At the time it was poured it was worth $3.7 million.

 $10,000 Dollar Bill

Yes it is real. The Federal Reserve used it to transfer money to and from banks and was never issued to the public. They also produced a $500, $1,000, $5,000 and even a $100,000 dollar note, see below. They were last printed in 1945 and have since been discontinued.

 $100,000 Dollar Note

This is the 1934 $100,000 dollar note. It featured Woodrow Wilson.

Dress Made With $100,000 Dollars

The dress was made to help promote a new gigantic lottery fund in the UK. 

The dress is made from Sterling Pound notes.

World's first flying car readying for takeoff

While it may seem like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, the flying car might soon become a reality.

A Massachusetts company founded four years ago by MIT graduates is getting ready to take its flying car  -- or drivable aircraft -- on its first test flight either later this month or early in February. Richard Gersh, a vice president at Woburn, Mass.-based Terrafugia Inc., told Computerworldtoday that the company is preparing to take a prototype of the vehicle, dubbed The Transition, to an airport in upstate New York for its initial flight.

"We are very excited," said Gersh. "We are all very energized. To actually have it fly is a dream come true. I'm not sure it's up there with the Wright brothers but it's awfully close."

What is PDF?

PDF means Portable Document File.  The extension of the file will be pdf.   PDF allows for the creation of documents that look the same on Windows, Mac OS, Unix, and most other computer platforms.  You can open these documents with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader program. 

 What are the benefits?

• Easily Turn any Windows files into virus free portable PDFs
• Preserves graphics, colors, fonts, & formatting regardless of the program the file was created with.
• Universal distribution (All computer platforms can view PDFs, including Windows, Unix, Mac, & Linux)
• Non-editable (receiver can't make changes to PDFs)
• Small file size (PDF compresses the document usually at least by half)
• Receiver(s) can easily view, navigate, and print PDFs
• PDF’s can be made into forms where visitors can type in information to fields and have that information (along with the document) print out.  Great for registration forms!
• PDF files (depending upon the program used to created the PDF) can have java scripts incorporated like ‘mail to’ or ‘print’
• Higher end PDF creating programs usually have compression options for really shrinking down the file size of the document (Options like: low resolution graphics or no graphics; or using “screen” or “print” resolution; or grayscale or full color documents; etc…)

 How simple is it to use?

First you install a "PDF" printer on your system.  This is just installing one of the programs listed below which then creates (automatically) another printer on your system. Then open a file, such as a Web page, document, spreadsheet, graphic, or whatever, and select the print option as you normally would, and choose the "PDF" printer (could be Adobe PDF for example). Lastly, the program opens, and asks you to name the file, and where you want to save your PDF. Hit "OK" and VWHALAA the program will create a full color non-editable PDF file! You don't have to worry about fonts, formatting, or colors because it preserves the file regardless of the program you printed from.
