Fish Fart

Researchers heard a small cricket like chirping noise in the water. But they discovered the truth. They had got the first recordings of fish actually farting! A tiny submarine recorded the sounds off the coast of South Florida. I thought this was really strange, can fish and other animals fart? Since the fish farted that means it can probably poo and pee. It seems strange, fish pooping and peeing. Does this mean that other animals can also fart and do other stuff? Can every animal make waste too?Are we swimming in fish fart, poo, and pee when we go to the beach? I hope not.

Green Toxic

In 1859 a chemist discovered that there is toxic in the green arsenic used to make things green. People saw green as a cheerful color and painted there walls green., but they suddenly got warnings of the dangerous green objects they have at home. Toys were colored with this green toxic and so were many other things.Workers who made things green sometimes got the green materials in their fingertips. Matilda, a worker, ate food with her arsenic covered fingertips and started to vomit nonstop.Her vomit was green. One day she had a vomiting attack and went to the doctor. Before she died, she said that everything looked green. In the 1850s fake flowers and fruits on head wear was popular to women. A little girl died because she sucked on the fake green grapes on a hat. When mothers say that their child's tummy hurt because he/she ate to much candy, it is not true! The wrapper has toxic which touches the candy and delivers the toxic. Vegetable are green but they don't have toxic. Does this mean that every candy or food that is green, not naturally, has toxic? The first thought that came to my mind was poison ivy. It is green and is toxic. So I started realizing so many things in a house are green and that most of them can be toxic. I think that now, most of the things aren't toxic because people know now that green arsenic is toxic. I hope I don't get poisoned!

Robot Dragon

Richard Hamel is a man who made a robot fly. Even though there are many robots in the world that can fly. I think Richard is amazing. I always wanted to make my Lego creations fly. I to used think that robots can't fly. But they can. Richard Hamel is an R/C plane builder. Richard Hamel made a fire breathing robot dragon that actually flies. He made it based on the dragon from the movie, How to Train Your Dragon. He noticed the tails of the dragons in the movie were a little odd. The robot was 33 pounds total so he made the wings 9 feet wide. I never knew in order for the robot to fly you need to make the wings/propellers wider. I am going to create a flying machine out of Mindstorms. The NXT brick will be in the middle and there will be three motors to lift it up. I hope it works.

Rabbits Don't Like Carrots

I used to think that rabbits and bunnies are cute little creatures that nibble on carrots and that mice loved cheese. But now I know it was all just a fake thing someone made up. It turns out rabbits don't really eat carrots, in fact they like radishes and cabbages a lot better. Even mice do not like cheese, they like grains and fruit. All the books I read, all the stories I read and in all the games I played, these things came out. But they are all just myths. Humans are just impersonating animals. People say ducks quack and that cows moo, but they don't actually do. Dogs don't bark, bow-wow, yip, or ruff. The animals make way more complicated noises. Not just "quack", "moo", and "neigh". People can't make the sound so they just guess or make things up. I don't like that. I think it's time the world knows the truth about the cute little rabbit's favorite food and the other animals!

The Physics of Cheating at Baseball; SPITBALL SCIENCE

Scuffballs, spitballs, and corked bats.Some baseball players are accused of cheating, Jim Kaat reveals the cheats that were used. I never knew baseball players could cheat so well and be such great physists, but they forgot one thing for cheating. The gloves. The baseball players forgot to modify the gloves. They can make their gloves more wider so the glove can easily catch the ball. The players probably can think of a way to fix their glove to catch the ball better, if they can make spitballs and corked bats. I think somebody in one of the baseball teams will probably modify their glove one day. After realizing that some sports players cheat, I looked at this from a different point of view. What if tennis players cheated too? They might change the balls to make their serves harder to hit or change their tennis rackets to make the ball do weird actions.. A long time ago I read an article about a tennis player who technically cheated because he wore green clothes. Since the ball is green and he wore the same color, the opponent might get confused and not see where the ball is coming. That's one possible cheat out of the many others out ther. I think that there is a possibility tennis pkayers might also be great physists.

Antikythera

This is cool...

LEGO AWESOMENESS!!!!

!! COOL STUFF!!YAY

ULTIMATE LEGO ROBO GLOVE

I made this awesome Robo Glove out of Lego, results are pretty good... Cool, heh?

The Man Who Mailed Himself

Willie Reginald Bray seems a lot like me. Challenging rules and stretching out boundaries, keeping a foot or a finger over the boundary line. But he is different in one way, he is more couraegous than I am
. In 1898, Willie Reginald Bray , age 19, got the book of the Post Office rules, Bray read the rules, but saw them as challenges instead. He stretched out the rule's boundaries and found some loopholes in the rules. Then he began a test that lasted for 10 years. He started sending strange things through the mail, but the Post Office couldn't complain, because they were the ones who created the rules. Willie Reginald Bray was still following the rules. Bray sent onions and even rabbit skulls. He even mailed himself. But I think these acts are couraegous, because a lot of people might find the loopholes, but not a lot of people will exactly try to test them. I might find some loopholes, but I am not brave enought to test them. I would get worried about getting in toruble and other things, but Bray just tested them and was not afraid. In fact, he didn't really care. He was techinically following the rules, so he was not afraid to test the workers of the Post Office. Although what he did wasn't exactly a good thing, I think Willie Reginald Bray is a brave man.

Creating The ULTIMATE TOY

Six inventors each have their own creative ideas for the ULTIMATE TOY! But they can only make these in their dreams. The first ULTIMATE TOY was the Print-a-Pet. This is a mini pet creator. You can choose the characteristics and personalities. You can even make mythical creatures. Next, there is Projecting Fantasy. You can say, "Spaceship" and then the walls of your room will be the walls of a spaceship. Pretty cool? Then there is 2D to 3D. This is one of my favorites. You can take a photo or draw something, then make it a 3D object in front of you. If you draw a machine. The bigger version would have the same working parts. You choose the size. My favorite is the Living Blocks. If you create an animal out of lego, it becomes a real living object, but in the squarish shape.

When you take the blocks apart it returns to its normal state. Now I will show you my ULTIMATE TOY. My creation would be The Wand Creator. First you choose your wand. Or should I say, the wand chooses you. You get your wand from a little tank and it tells you what kind of wand it is. Then you learn real spells and use them. (I got the idea from HarryPotter) Then you won't have to be a muggle. You can be a real wizard. You could duel your friends and do anything you want with your ULTIMATE TOY.

LEGO THE TRUE STORY

I made a lot of posts about Lego and why I like it. But now I am about to reveal the true story of my side of Lego. Lego is great because of many things. I started Lego because my sister was doing it first when she was little. I followed her and also played with Lego, but she didn't keep on playing with Lego, she didn't do Lego again. I liked Lego and decided to keep on playing with it. The Lego I started with was Duplo big fat blocks that didn't make many things. As I got older the block grew smaller. I made little houses and ships. At first I just made those models and put little doors or opening up roofs. Then I started to design Lego. Somehow, by myself I started to get better and better. I started designing ships and made them look cool. Then I outgrew that phase and started working with gears and motors. A bit more into technology. I made little cars and little robots that move around. I enjoyed how the gears turn and made more advanced robots and cars. Then the next step came. The NXT Step. Mindstorms. Nothing else was as hard as Mindstorms. I couldn't understand this programming idea and everything about Mindstorms.  It made me frustrated and I didn't go well with it. But when I received a book about how to program Mindstorms, my dislike for Mindstorms changed. I started to do Mindstorms and started to make robots, currently I am still doing Mindstorms. Lego is the best thing created!

Buffalo a buffalo word

Buffalo can mean many things. 1. The city Buffalo 2. The confused buffalo 3. The animal buffalo
So grammatically, the sentence, Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo , is a proper sentence. That means you can tell someone buffalo 100 times and tell them that you were saying a proper sentence.

Four Hands

I wonder how life would be with four arms. It seems strange and impossible to control four arms at once, but if we had one arm then we would think it is strange and impossible to control two arms. I think it would be pretty awesome. Life would be much easier and when playing a sport, for example tennis or swimming, four hands would be pretty useful. But it still seems so strange to me how you can have four hands. Life would be easier, but uncomfortable at the same time. Or would it? You never know because you never will experience having four arms.
