World's smallest gun- Swiss Mini Gun
This is the world's smallest gun that fires deadly 300mph bullets - but is just TWO inches long.
Meet the pistol that fits in your pocket - and packs a hell of a punch.
The Swiss Mini Gun is the size of a key fob but fires tiny 270mph
bullets powerful enough to kill at close range. There is a key ring
holster that comes with the gun when it is bought and can be clipped to a belt loop.
Officially the world's smallest working revolver, the gun is being
marketed as a collector's item and measures just 2.16 inches long
(5.5cm). It can fire real 4.53 bullets up to a range of 367ft (112m).
Many countries, including the US and the UK, forbid the importation of
the Swiss Mini Gun over the ease of concealing the revolver. Swiss Mini
Gun is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's smallest
working revolver.
Pakistan has a new island, thanks to a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck the region last week.
Yes, you heard right. The earthquake managed to jumble the Earth to such a point that a 60 to 70-foot tall, 300-foot -wide and 120-foot-long island FORMED IN THE OCEAN.
So how can this happen? It's a giant mud volcano created by the jostling! And (sadly, or not) it'll probably melt back into the sea over time.
The man who sold Taj Mahal
These days when people fake themselves and wear a mask of artificial
expressions, this is a real story about a person who faked others in an
unique way. But he was not a common conman, but the greatest of his
elite category.
Mithilesh Kumar Srivastava (1912-1996/2009),
was also popularly known as "Natwarlal", was a noted Indian conman who
repeatedly sold The Taj Mahal, the Red
Fort, and the Rashtrapati Bhavan and also the Parliament House of India
along with its 545 sitting members. He was a living legend in his life
time and also continued to be one after his death. He was born in Bangra
village in Siwan district of Bihar. He was a lawyer by profession
before he turned into a conman.
Modus Operandi :
He
was in a wanted list in over a 100 cases in 8 States. He had been
sentenced to a massive 113 years in jail by various courts and had made
eight daring escapes, each time from a different jail.
He was a
master of disguise who used more than 50 names to commit crimes. He
once walked out of Kanpur jail dressed as a Sub-Inspector (in a smuggled
uniform). He offered an attaché case of money to the guards, addressed a
taxi and drove away.
He used to pose as a Government official
and fool foreign tourists by selling them famous Indian monuments. He
forged President Rajendra Prasad’s signature and sold the Taj Mahal
thrice, and the Rashtrapati Bhawan and the Lal Qila twice!!
He
is also said to have cheated number of industrialists including Birlas
and Dhirubhai Ambani taking from them huge money in cash, posturing as
social worker or needy person. Also he had duped many shop-owners with
lakhs of rupees, paying them by cheque and demand drafts, which were
later found to be forged.
Interestingly, at the age of 84, he
was on a wheelchair, old, ill and so disabled that the police were
taking him to the AIIMS Hospital for treatment. On the way to the
Hospital, at the New Delhi Railway Station, he slipped from right under
the Policemen’s nose. He was seen for the last time on June 24, 1996.
His daring acts are often compared with Frank Abagnale of Catch Me If
You Can and Victor Lustig. The blockbuster bollywood film Mr. Natwarlal
starring Amitabh Bacchan gave a tactful idea of the life of original
Natwarlal.
