Real Madrid Wins Spanish Cup, Drops Trophy off Bus


sergio-ramos-drops-copa-del-rey-trophy by EgotasticMedia

It's the equivalent of Aaron Rodgers dropping the Lombardi Trophy during the Super Bowl Parade in Green Bay.

Real Madrid footballer Sergio Ramos dropped the Copa Del Rey trophy from the front of a double decker bus the team was traveling in.  The bus promptly ran over the shiny piece of metal and destroyed it.  The trophy survived the 12 foot fall, but couldn't survive being hit by a multi-ton bus.

Imagine the horror if the Stanley Cup fell off a truck and was hit by a snow plow in Canada.  Sheer chaos.

Amazon Outage Takes Down Sites

An outage of Amazon's cloud-based Web service on Wednesday took down a pile of online sites, including Reddit, HootSuite, Foursquare and Quora.

Amazon not only sells books and CD's, the are the hosts many major websites on its web servers through a service called EC2. The "elastic" infrastructure model is designed to scale up automatically to handle giant traffic spikes -- the kind Amazon gets every year during its December e-commerce rush.

Thousands of customers use Amazon's cloud, renting space on its servers. Some of them went down Wednesday in the wake of Amazon's outage.  Amazon's servers are known as some of the most reliable in the cloud.

Amazon representatives did not immediately return calls for comment.

NHRA is Four-Wide

If you are going to watch one drag race on ESPN2 this year, you might want to watch the Four-Wide Nationals tonight.

32,000 horse power heading down the strip all at once.  This is the one time each year where four cars drag race side-by-side.

The Bruton Smith track in Charlotte has four laes and they use them all.  Quite a spectacle.

Note:  It's also on ESPN3 this afternoon if you want to watch it live online.
