Truckers Must Speak English

Trucker fined $500 for failing roadside English test.

Manuel Castillo drove through Alabama in a truck filled with onions and left
with a $500 ticket for something he didn't think he was doing: speaking English
poorly.
Castillo, who was stopped on his way back to California, said he
knows federal law requires him to be able to converse in English with an officer
but he thought his language skills were good enough to avoid a ticket. Still,
Castillo said he plans to pay the maximum fine of $500 rather than return to
fight the ticket.

More about that law:

Federal law requires that anyone with a commercial driver's license speak
English well enough to talk with police. Authorities last year issued 25,230
tickets nationwide for violations. Now the federal government is trying to
tighten the English requirement, saying the change is needed for safety reasons.

Trap-Jaw Ants

It is the speeding bullet of the natural world. The trap-jaw ant snaps shut its mandibles at speeds of 35 to 64 meters per second, about 2300 times faster than the blink of an eye.
This has to be one of the oddest (and strangely mesmerizing) things on the net: ants flying through the air in extreme slow motion propelled by the rapid closing of their jaws. All set to a very peculiar sound track. The ant at the top of the image above is cart-wheeling its way over the other two.
