The English word gift means both poison and marriage in Swedish! A firecracker weighing over 1000 pounds was launched at a festival in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, in October 2014- the explosion was more than 2500 feet wide! The ghost swimmer is a robot shark developed for the U.S. Navy that swims like a real shark and can dive to depths of 300 feet for spying missions.
