BOLLY COPYING HOLLY
You may think these Bollywood divas to be the ultimate trend setters...
but ever wondered whatmakes them copy each others' style... too often?
It might be just an attempt to outdo each other in their fashion statements but I feel it's nothing but sheer aping someone else' style without thinking whether it would suit you or not.
Check out these hotties who were spotted wearing ditto, same to same outfits on various occasions...

INDIAS FIGHTER JETS BOMB JAISALMER
.
In a key step towards attaining final operational clearance from the Indian Air Force, the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas is undergoing weapons trials, including firing air-to-air missiles to test its capability to bring down enemy planes.
.
.
As part of its first phase trials to fire bombs and missiles, Tejas underwent tests of its aerial skills today at a Jaisalmer range in Rajasthan.
.
.
The aircraft was inducted into the IAF in the Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) configuration in January this year.
Following the successful trials and necessary changes in its configuration, LCA Tejas is expected to get the FOC by December 2012.
.
.
By 2014, a total of seven squadrons (over 120 aircraft) of the advanced version of the fighter aircraft, LCA MK-II with upgraded system and capabilities would be inducted into the IAF.

EVEN THE CHINESE ARE DISCUSSING IT IN THEIR MILITARY JOURNALS !!
.
.
It's the world's smallest, light weight, multi-role combat aircraft designed to meet the requirements of the Indian Air Force as its frontline multi-mission single seater tactical aircraft during the period 2000 - 2020.Short takeoff and landing, high maneuverability with excellent maintainability and a wide range of weapon fit are some of Tejas' features. Two aircraft technology demonstrators are powered by single GE F404/F2J3 augmented turbofan engines.

Top 15 Amazing Findings Of Google Earth
Top 15 Amazing Findings Of Google Earth
Dubbed the "Badlands Guardian" by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress--and earphones, to boot. Of course, The Guardian was produced naturally.
A synthetic wonder that can be truly appreciated only from above, this giant man-shaped lake (-21.805149,-49.089977) is located near Bauru, Brazil.
This heart-shaped island in the Adriatic became a hit on Google Earth for Valentine's Day. The uninhabited island is only 130,000 square yards and is called Galesnjak. The owner didn't even know how perfectly this island off the Croatian coast was until he was swamped with requests from couples to stay there.
This fingerprint can be found in Hove Park, near Brighton and Hove in the UK. It measures 38 metres around. Imagine the size of the hand.
Rhett Dashwood, a graphic designer from Australia, created the first Google Maps alphabet, featuring all 26 letters, using satellite images of natural features and buildings.
Lion, at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo located at Whipsnade, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England.
Some of the sights you find in Google Earth are just plain mysterious. For example, why is a fighter jet parked (Google Earth coordinates 48.825183,2.1985795) in what looks to be a residential neighborhood lot near Paris?
NOTE: our reader Guilhem told us it "must be located at a Dassault Système office. It's an old Mirage and I know for a fact that there is a Dassault office there", while another reader, Roland, argues "it's a full scale model of a Mirage 2000 on a campus of the university of Paris"
This is a US Navy building in Coronado, Ca. that was unintentionally built in the shape of a swastika. Now, because of a public uproar, the Navy will be spending $600,000 to alter the shape of the building.
In the early days of Firefox, a few devoted fans wanted to generate more PR for their beloved site and so gathered a team of people in Amity, Oregon, to recreate the Firefox logo in a field; their very own fox crop.
Last year, one of the Google Earth Community members called 'ear1grey' posted an amazing discovery. He found a huge picture (36 miles tall) of Santa!
So here's a giant Ipod Shuffle! It looks like a farmer's field with a horse pen or something on it? Either that or a hard core apple enthusiast. Unfortunately, it looks like he moved the pen on the map since it was first spotted.
Google Earth doesn't have advertising, unless you consider the corporate logos and trademarks big enough to be seen from space. Check out this massive Coca-Cola logo (-18.529225,-70.25002) etched into a hillside of Chile with 70,000 Coke bottles. Haven't they heard of recycling?
As if Oprah Winfrey's celebrity weren't already big enough, an Arizona farmer built a 10-acre homage to the talk show host (Google Earth coordinates 33.225488,-111.5955).
Too late now, huh?
It's not safe to do topless in your roof anymore. One careless sunbath and you can end in everyone else's computer screen.

FINALLY, EINSTEIN PROVED WRONG??
Scientists told the world of their astonishment yesterday after they apparently recorded particles travelling faster than the speed of light.
If their calculations are correct, they have disproved Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity – the cornerstone of physics.
Subatomic particles called neutrinos were beamed from the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland to a laboratory in Italy 454 miles away, and beat the speed of light by 60 nanoseconds.
It raises science fiction scenarios such as sending information back in time and blurring the line between past and present.
As experts across the world expressed their shock – and cynicism – the physicists at CERN insisted they had tested and re-tested the findings for six months and could not find anything to alter the result.
If they are right the neutrinos made the journey in 0.0024 seconds, travelling at 299,798,454 metres per second.
The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 metres per second, meaning that the neutrinos completed the distance 60 billionths of a second faster than light, scientists told a press conference in Geneva yesterday.
The result is so unprecedented, even the lead researcher Dr Antonio Ereditato has described it as ‘crazy’ and called on his colleagues to do the same test and see if it can be replicated
It’s a very big deal,’ he said. ‘If you’ve got something travelling faster than light, it requires a complete re-writing of our understanding of the universe.
‘The reason everyone is cautious is because Einstein’s theory of special relativity says that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light and that’s the basis of our understanding of physics.
‘The reason you can’t build a time machine and go flying around like Doctor Who into the past is because the speed of light is protected – it’s the universal speed limit.’
The scientists – who did not set out to disprove Einstein’s 1905 theory, but were testing other things – used 16,000 neutrinos, which are tiny, almost weightless particles produced by nuclear reactions such as the Big Bang or star formation
Neutrinos are said to be ‘ghostly’ because they can travel through anything. Billions of them pass through our bodies every day.
They were beamed through the Earth’s crust from the collider in Switzerland to a lab in Italy, where vast underground detectors received them.
Dr Alan Watson, a physicist at Birmingham University said: ‘It raises the idea that if person A sends a text to person B, someone travelling quickly in the other direction could see B receive it before A sends it.’
Others were more cynical. Jim Al-Khalili, Professor of Physics at the University of Surrey, said: ‘Let me put my money where my mouth is: if the CERN experiment proves to be correct and neutrinos have broken the speed of light, I will eat my boxer shorts on live TV.’
If true, the findings would break a fundamental pillar of science and Einstein's special theory of relativity: The famous E (equals) mc2 equation
