The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport with a 16-cylinder, 1200hp or 882kW engine which catapults it from 0-60 in less than 2.3 seconds (that is actually the 0-60 of the base model Veyron as stated on Bugatti's website).
It only requires 270-280hp to sustain its top speed of 257.8mph, so therefore they actually had to put a top speed limiter on the car so it wouldn't blow its engine.
The car can be produced completely out of carbon fiber at the buyer's request. The fastest Veyron is the SS which produces 1250bhp and can reach a top speed of 267mph

No; millipedes are herbivores and do not have mouthparts able to damage skin. They only feed on living or rotting vegetation. Centipedes, however, can have a painful bite and/or venom, so know the difference.
Watershed liming is a type of way to get rid of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). It is when you take ground agricultural limestone and spread it over all or part of a watershed. The limestone neutralizes the water that leaves the watershed so it will not infect other bodies of water. Rain, snow, etc. types of water react with limestone and move through soil, in result making it less acidic. The less acidic water will not leach aluminum from soil into close streams and will not make cases of acidic runoff. It also makes forest productivity and health better. : )
