Villainous Youth Repellent

This sound is amazing. If you're over 30 you'll hear some street noise. If you're under 25 you'll hear an obnoxious squeal. If you're in between, or abnormal, then who knows what you'll hear.

Seems it's used by grown-ups in the UK for repelling teens from certain areas, and by teens as a ringtone only they can hear.

(Here's an alternative link to the sound)

Thanks Brice

Mount St. Helens' Fin

Mt. St. Helens has been growing a huge fin for the last few months. It's now about 300 feet (100 meters) high, growing at several feet a day. Very strange looking slab. Top Men have provided images and video...
