A Malawian teenager taught himself how to build a windmill out of junk and bring power to his village. He then went on to build a second, larger windmill to power irrigation pumps. He did this all from books he read in the library.
Einstein once declared that his second greatest idea after the theory of relativity was to add an egg while cooking soup in order to produce a soft-boiled egg without having an extra pot to wash.
When traffic cameras were first set up in California, a man got a speeding ticket in the mail that included his photo as proof of guilt. Mad that he was fined by a camera, the man took a picture of money and mailed it off. Weeks later he was mailed another photo… this time of handcuffs.
Hello everyone, today is Thursday, and you all may be starting to feel a little tired because you have been getting up early for now the fourth day in a row. Also, the time change is still rearing its head, and some of you may really be feeling it for the first time since Sunday morning. However, you all are doing great, and we know you will make it to Friday, which is tomorrow! So, how many of you all want to see a flying child? Check out today’s optical illusion, which is all about a flying child! This little kid has a frightened look on her face, and who can blame her? She’s flying, and that can be really scary!
Ready for another optical illusion? Check out the logo for the Dodge Viper, but is it really the viper or is it the famous cartoon character, Daffy Duck? We bet you all never saw this before, and it was quite a surprise for us too! We had to study this logo long and hard in order to see Daffy Duck, and we will never look at this famous logo the same way ever again! What do you all think? Well we know its Thursday, but things will get better and tomorrow is Friday, which is a reason to be happy. Have a good day!
