Insane Water Slide

Kansas City's Verrückt Water Slide Is Insane (Literally)! - Kids News Article

Verrückt is and estimated 17-story tall water slide that is being built in Kansas City, Missouri. This water slide is being compared to Brazil's Insano because the company is saying that Verrückt is nearly 3 stories taller. The company is also comparing to Insano because they can confirm that Verrückt is faster than Insano's 65mph water slide. The co-owner Jeff is known as the "Wizard of Water". This is because not only did he help design Verrückt he also helped create some of the Water Park's other strange rides like the inland water surfing, uphill water coasters and endless tube rides. If given the chance, I would like to go on this ride because I want to say that I went down Verrückt. But if I was thinking logically, then I would not go down because I am afraid of heights. Although I might not ride it, I think it'll be a huge thrill for risk takers.

Tiny Windmills

These Ultra-Cute Micro Windmills May Soon Charge Your Devices - Kids News Article

I have recently read an interesting article about the possibility of having wind-powered phone chargers. In this article, the author describes how tiny windmills could create enough power to charge a cell phone. The article states that the creator, Jung-Chih Chiao, is in the process of obtaining a patent. Chiao also plans to sell these tiny windmills in packs of 100 as emergency phone chargers. We may never need to use electric chargers again.

100 Dollor Plus

The whole 100 dollar limit idea for Christmas to me sounds a little weird. For the time of giving, and giving to your loved ones for that matter, you should spend at least more than 100 dollars on them and their presents. Just to show love to one another, it's best to give high quality gifts instead of cheap ones. I know not everyone has money, but still, why not save? I know this for certain that the recent consoles that have been released have been very high priced. Why get a console? Well for one it gives the loved one something nice, but it also allows quality time with one another. Wouldn't that be nice? Having good times with one another? I know there might be other ways, and cheaper ones, but a new console is probably best.

Turtles In Time

The golden era of video games were around the 1980's and early 90's. The best ones you could play though cost money or tokens at arcades or restaurants. The most popular one by far is probably Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the arcade game. Oh the depression children would go through when they had to leave, and they knew that their parents could not afford a $2500.00 arcade machine. Then, when all hope was lost for who we now know as pro retro games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV Turtles in Time was released for the super Nintendo. Besides some audio and visual difference, someone smart at Nintendo headquarters brought heaven to people's consoles at home.

Frosty Strikes

For what seemed to be a "perfect snow day", I couldn't help myself to feel a certain darkness in the air that winter morning. Being older i have lost most interest in playing in the snow but still enjoy watching the neighborhood children have a good day. I sat outside until i had run out of coffee. So, as I was about to go inside I heard a moan, than a scream of pain. I turned around to see that one of the children snowmen have bit his leg! Of course I wasn't getting involved. So I barricaded myself. And watched as each snowman gets bigger and bigger. Not to mention the one who had a sock cap on. He was the scariest. His mouth was full of teeth, and I realized...he was starting at me.
