Mount Everest

Mount Everest, also called Sagarmatha, is the world's highest mountain. It is 29,002 feet high. People are only allowed to climb it 3 weeks a year for half a million dollars and many people have died on it. It is also one of the mountains affected by GLOBAL WARMING.

December 17, 1903

On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Three more flights were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet.

The Chunnel

The Channel Tunnel (French: Le tunnel sous la Manche), also known by the portmanteau Chunnel[1], is a 50.5 km (31.4 mi) undersea rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent in England with Coquelles near Calais in northern France beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover. At its lowest point it is 75 m (250 ft) deep.[2] It has the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world, although Japan's Seikan Tunnel is longer overall at 53.85 km (33.5 mi) and reaches a depth of 240 m (790 ft).
The tunnel carries high-speed Eurostar passenger trains, Eurotunnel ro-ro vehicle transport and international rail freight trains. In 1996 the American Society of Civil Engineers identified the tunnel as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Space Shuttle News

Space shuttles Endeavor has landed in California on the last day of November after some bad weather at the main Florida landing site. Also...wait...what? They have something that can convert urine into into water? Uhh....Cool? Also, they repaired their solar-wing joint. In their mission they remodeled the space station and doubled its crew capacity to six.

Jules the Robot

Jules the Robot! He's one of a kind! He can imitate face expressions! SUPER-DOOPER AWESOME!! Y'all are jealous of Jules.

The Gibraltar Bridge is a conceptual structure spanning the Strait of Gibraltar that would connect Europe to Africa.

WHOO-HOO! STRAIGHT FROM WIKIPEDIA!! Basically it's an uber-long bridge that will connect Europe to Africa, home of Far Cry 2's protagonists! KILL THE JACKAL!

Flying Cars Part 2

OMG! Another flying car!? NO WAI!!!!! YES WAI!! It's called a Terafugia? Next time, call it Susan or something. Anyway, it's a car that can turn into a plane. TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT DAWGS!! It comes with a parachute and automotive crash safety standards.

Fog Screen

A fog screen is a fog of water droplets that you can project images onto. You can also walk through it without getting wet because the microscopic water droplets feel dry like air. By the way, I saw a fog screen on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. A Davy Jones image was projected onto it.

Robots

Hmm? What do you think when you hear the word Robot? The androids from DBZ? That robot from Ratchet and Clank? Well...WRONG! I wanted you to think about real robots! You get an F. I wanted to hear about robots like ASIMO. He can walk up STAIRS! AWESOME!!

A robot will usually have these properties.

It is artificially created.
It can sense its environment, and manipulate or interact with things in it.
It has some ability to make choices based on the environment, often using automatic control or a preprogrammed sequence.
It is programmable.
It moves with one or more axes of rotation or translation.
It makes dexterous coordinated movements.
It moves without direct human intervention.
It appears to have intent or agency.

An example of a robot would be ASIMO:

3D Printer

Hmm...A 3D printer? You know what that means...IT'S A WITCH! BURN THE 3D printer!! But seriously, a 3d printer is a printer that is able to print objects. It creates three dimensional objects by layering and connecting successive cross sections of material. It exists today but it is still a prototype. Also, 3D printers are faster, more affordable and easier to use than other fabrication technologies.

Flying Cars

Okay! Law requires me to explain what a flying car is even though it's pretty obvious what it is. A flying car is a car that can travel on roads and in the air. An example would the flying cars in the Jetsons. George Jetson has a flying car. So far in history, there have been many experiments and some cars have been built that are capable of flying, but not free flight. Some of examples of experimental flying cars are the Haynes Aero Skyblazer, the Moller Skycar M400, the Urban Aeronautics X-Hawk, and more. Some flying cars have even been put on sale. But I don't recommend buying something that still is being developed.

Smart Shirt

The Smart Shirt uses what the company calls interconnection technology that involves networking sensing, monitoring, and information processing devices. It is designed for health monitoring, it can be used to alert the ambulance, it can also track an athelete's performance, and it will also be used to sense dangerous gases (Haha, I know what you're all thinking.), will be used in the army, and it will monitor truck driver fatigue.

Me: Awesome!

Friend #1: Tubular!

Me: Don't you mean...

In unison: EXCELLENT!!



Fanboy: Stop stealing lines from NTAS!!

Internet Safety

Internet safety is a necessity. Follow these rules and I can guarantee you’ll have a fun on the Internet.

1. Never, EVER, give out your personal information to people you don’t know.
2. Some people just want to hurt you and can use this information to find you.
3. Don’t open email sent from people you don’t know. Who knows, it could have BAD STUFF in it.
4. Don’t cyber-date! The person you are cyber-dating could be a man in his 50s.
5. DON’T BE A CYBER-BULLY! You will get caught, and you will get in trouble.

Test

One of the things I like to do is play Donkey Kong 64 on my Nintendo 64. During summer vacation I like to play it all day. I am obsessed with playing video games and using the computer. I'm on the computer EVERY DAY. *wide evil smile* We'll be friends forever and ever and ever and ever....and ever.
