10 Bets You Will Never Lose

Roanoke College students converting '39 Pontiac to electric drive

Media_httpwwwblogcdnc_odfnh

Students at Roanoke Collage in Salem, VA, are almost halfway through a 4-year process of converting a 1939 Pontiac into an all-electric vehicle. The college's RC Electric Club bought the car for $1,500 in 2010. They have stripped it, removed its original eight-cylinder engine and kept its burgundy to go along with school colors. The car will be shown off at this year's commencement ceremonies.

Today's Cool Site of the Day is Vertically Integrated Farms. I actually ordered a few tilapia fish from them to grow at home.
