This Is The Largest Caliber Rifle Ever Produced

A video shows the largest caliber rifle ever made — a .905 caliber. It is one of just three produced by SSK industries in Ohio. And though it kicks like a mule, you'd probably rather be kicked by an actual mule.
MOTO X
This Is The Real Reason That Google Bought Motorola
wired.com
The Motorola purchase would almost double Google's head count with employees who brought little to the bottom line. Employees who were not Googly, in a business that seemingly didn't scale. What was Google thinking? Finally, we have the answer. The Moto X, announced today, marks the arrival, finally, of the Google Phone.

TAKE IT UP THE NOSE
How To Survive A Snakebite
news.discovery.com
As many as 125,000 people die from snakebites every year; most of the victims die before getting to a hospital. A new nasal spray may change that.

deadspin.com
The University of Oregon just opened a brand new $68 million, 145,000-square foot football facility that would make Ozymandias—but not Phil Knight—blush. It is completely bananas. Let's take a look at some pictures that perfectly illustrate everything that is wrong with college sports.
