Next to the super fast train in Shanghai. This train travels on air. It is "levitated" off the track by magnets and travels at 431kph. It only goes a distance of 30 klms but does it in 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
When it passes the other train in the opposite direction the wall of air being pushed between the two is almost solid and there is a loud bang when they pass.

Whoa, that is impressive!
It takes the driver in NSW 8 minutes to scratch his piles!

Grey hair is hereditary, you get it from children. Baldness is caused by watching the Wallabies.
