Big Brother’s Lisa Clark poses TOPLESS at the beach

She’s the former Big Brother star whose daring display of sideboob at a previous red carpet event made headlines.

And it seems Lisa Clark has no hesitations about baring her assets as she was spotted posing for a topless photo shoot at Bronte Beach on Thursday.

Showing off her slender figure in a series of swimwear bottoms, the 31-year-old blonde made sure to work her best angles during the racy shoot.

What swimwear? The former reality star made sure to turn heads while flaunting her ample assets as she modelled bright swimwearModelling a pair of bright yellow bikini bottoms in one shot, the ‘freelance blogger’ channeled her inner Blue Steel as she pursed her lips for the camera.

Lisa stood tall whilst holding her pose as a hair and makeup artist was seen making adjustments to her look.

The jet-setting Instagram model changed into a pair of orange high-waisted bottoms as well as a skimpy black pair throughout the shoot.

The aesthetic of the shoot was kept quite minimal, with Lisa’s only accessories being a stack of gold and silver bangles as well as her belly button piercing jewellery.

With her wet golden locks slicked back and bronzed makeup, Lisa looked to be in her element as she posed whilst holding a flower in her hand.

The former reality star appears to be a fan of body art, flashing a delicate tattoo on the left side of her rib cage.

Before her foray into reality TV as a Big Brother housemate in 2014, Lisa worked at a ‘lingerie restaurant’.

She has since secured her position as a top digital influencer having gained over 94,000 fans on Instagram.

Prince Rupert’s Drop can withstand ANYTHING: Stunning video shows a man firing a point-blank shot at the glass

A man caught the moment in slow motion video that a piece of glass known as the Prince Rupert’s Drop withstood a bullet fired at close range.

Destin Sandlin, an engineer who has a YouTube channel called Smarter Every Day, likes to experiment with trying to destroy the almost indestructible (unless its tail breaks off) tadpole shaped glass piece known as the Prince Rupert’s Drop.

Because of the way tension is distributed throughout the glass, the head of it can withstand extremely high stresses, such as hammer blows or Hydraulic presses, while it will normally the entire glass shatter if the tail is broken, or even just wiggled.

Sandlin decided to shoot two different sized bullets at the drop at close range – a .22 Magnum ‘full metal jacket’ bullet and a .38 Special.

The .22 travels at 1,875 feet per second.

Sandlin fires the .22 Magnum at the glass drop, which is tied to a post so it can’t fly off.

‘What! What?’ he yells at the bullet fails to even make much of a scratch on the head of the glass.

HISTORY OF A PHYSICS PUZZLE

Prince Rupert of Bavaria (1619-1682), grandson of James I, brought the glass teardrops to Charles II as a gift.

Demonstrations of the stress of glass were introduced to England as a curious party trick.

In 1661, King Charles asked his personal scientific society, which later evolved into the Royal Society, to investigate.

No one could give Charles Il a satisfactory explanation of the extraordinary behaviour of how the trick worked.

One of the scientists investigating was Robert Hooke, who became famous for Hooke’s Law.

It was not until 1994 that scientists at Cambridge University and Purdue University in Indiana solved the puzzle.

Sandlin had torched off the drop’s long curly tail which, normally if touched, will shatter the entire piece.

‘They’re tougher than I thought,’ he says, as he watches the slow-mo playback of the glass head surviving a bullet.

He then takes out the larger gun and ammo, a .38 Special.

He shoots at the glass and as it flies off from the force of the bullet he yells, ‘No way! No way! Shut up!’

The spectacular slow-mo footage shows the bullet breaking upon impacting the glass head, but the glass head remaining perfectly intact.

It doesn’t even shatter when the force of the bullet sends the long tail wiggling.

‘That’s absolutely ridiculous,’ he says.

Sandlin speculates that perhaps this particular drop is even stronger than usual because there was no air bubble inside as their usually is.

‘That’s a special one,’ he says of the indestructible piece of glass.

The video, uploaded April 26, already has over 700,000 views.

Perth flight locked down over white powder

PASSENGERS arriving at Perth Airport from the WA Pilbara town of Onslow were quarantined after a mystery white powder was found in the luggage hold of a Virgin Australia aircraft.

Firefighters in chemical suits boarded the plane after it landed at Perth airport on Tuesday morning and helped passengers evacuate before securing the substance – believed to be a white powder – and removing it from the aircraft.

Officials quickly established that the substance was not explosive and at about 1pm Virgin Australia confirmed that the white powder was harmless.

The passengers were mostly FIFO workers and were held in an airport lounge while staff from the Chemistry Centre attempted to determine what the substance was.
