The best mileage production car in the world

Volkswagan Lupo 3l TDI is the most fuel efficient car in the world at the moment. The car has completed world tour of 33,333 KMs in 80 days using just 793 liter of diesel.
That means an average consumption of 2,38/100km at an average speed of 85km/hour.

The 80 days trip was based on Jean-Jules Verne's famous book, "Around the World in Eighty Days", in which Englishman Phileas Fogg took a bet that he could go around the world in eighty days. The VW team traveled through South Africa, France, Thailand, Australia, North America and many west European and Scandinavian countries before making it back to Wolfsburg, covering 33,333km in the process.

Reincarnation or memory recall of a US scientist in rural India?

Guys here is a incredible story carried out yesterday by TV news channels. Rajesh, a 14 year old boy from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India claims he is reincarnation of dead US scientist 'Valence Regart' who died in 1966. The boy speaks english only in american accent and his expressions are of a matured american, although he has studied upto 8th standard in hindi he doesn't speak hindi now.

The boy says his interest are sociology and science and he is extremely good in physics and chemistry, infact he is explaining concepts of physics to M.Sc. students in a local college as a professional scientist. The background of the boy is very humble, born of a laborer mother and mentally disturbed father, his village doesn't have a person who knows english as claimed by the village head.

Rajesh claims he is writing three books, and wan't to work in good lab to pursue his interest of development of science. About his abilities he talks about memory recall with reference to the books he is writing.

The story begins as a 14 year old normal boy, once playing with his friend built a mud play house, which was broken by his father. In a feet of anger he throws a stone towards his father hurting him leaving him profusely bleeding. That makes a deep psychological impact on the boy and he confines himself in the house for three months. When he comes out, he speaks only english and not his mother tongue hindi.


PS: Next day Zee news network has exposed the story of rebirth or memory recall, and found to have that, the boy learnt english with american ascent from watching english movies, but whatever it is, he has exceptional mimicry talent, his other friends as interviewed by the Zee news also adept in doing some good with american english, one fellow even sang in the style of Enreco Iglesia. Now the news channels who carried out this story earlier has lost the credibility thumbs down with CNN-IBN and India TV, as they pressed some facts like the boy takes physics classes etc without proper research.
