Spokeo
Do you feel safe? Do you feel that your family’s information is safe? You’re wrong. A new website called “Spokeo.com” can tell you everything about anyone over 18. If you look up your parent’s name, it can tell you your house value, your neighborhood quality, if you own a pool, the ethnicity of the neighborhood, if you have central heating, central air conditioning, a description of your house, if you have a fireplace, your home value, your age, your ethnicity, occupation, even hobbies, your residence, gender, zodiac, if you have children, your education, if you own a home, how long you have been living in the home, and A LOT MORE. This is what we call creepy. You can try it; just type your parents name in the search box. Complaints have been said that this site invades their privacy, and has been sued numerous times. The site has been shut down plenty of times, but it is still running. Whether the site should be shut down permanently or not is still being considered.

Poopy Power
A single cow can produce 120 POUNDS “poop” a day. That’s more than an average 6th grader (not poop, the poop weighs more) . The EPA says of 1998 cows make 54 BILLION pounds of manure each year. Now imagine that 54 billion pounds of poop turning into 54 billion pounds of fuel. Annually. But there is a down side. To make the poop into fuel, the man with the poop would have to pay $5,000,000 to get a machine to do that, and pay $30,000 annually just to keep it up and running. The energy is also not as efficient. It would take 10,000 cows to keep a computer running. That’s 1,200,000 pounds of poop to power ONE SINGLE COMPUTER. Also, the cow poop is bad for the environment. 21 times worse than normal gasoline. So let’s see this in the future. Every family has a power cow. Or two. Or three. Or four or five. Or six. Or seven. Whatever the number one of those cows is pooping over 26 gallons of methane into the atmosphere. And it wouldn’t just be one cow pooping that methane. Remember how it takes 1,200,000 pounds of poop to power a computer? One cow can’t produce 1,200,000 pounds of poop in a day. Unless its got some weird laxatives to produce that 10,000 cow, 1,200,000 amount of poop. So the pollution would be catastrophic, and the energy would be scarce. So unless this idea of poopy power can advance, it’s a stupid idea right now.

Deadly Hand Sanitizer
Hand Sanitizer. Everyone uses it, but that might not necessarily be a good thing. Recently studies involving hand sanitizer showed shocking results. In hand sanitizer there is a chemical called “triclosan” which can disrupt hormones, mess with reproductive organs, and even create cancer. The highly polluted Minnesota Lake has traces of triclosan, and the cause might even be hand sanitizer. Triclosan got patented in 1965, when it turned up to kill bacteria. Doctors used it to kill bacteria, even today. Triclosan is in pretty much everything we use today that involves cleaning or killing bacteria. Triclosan is almost contagious. Americans clothes have it. Americans urine has it. Even American breast milk has triclosan in it. Triclosan is in children’s toys, even food storage containers. Everyone has digested triclosan, worn triclosan, drank triclosan, and breathed triclosan. It’s everywhere, in everything, and deadly. But not yet, the levels of triclosan are so incredibly low that they are harmless. But at the rate it’s increasing, the chemical will do harm in about 20 years.

SPACE DIVERS
Think of an extreme sport. What comes to mind? Skyscraper running? Fire Breathing? Now think of an extreme-extreme sport. How about: Space Diving?
An Austrian skydiver named Felix Baumgartner is jumping 120,000 feet above Earth. About 4 times as high an airplane goes. At that height, jumping off a plane, or in this case a shuttle, is a little more complicated than regular skydiving. He would need oxygen, and basically a spacesuit, and he needs more than just any space suit to do that; exactly why the David Clark manufacturing company created a special pressurized, temperature controlled, oxygenated suit to do the job. This suit is tough. Extremely-extremely tough.It has to face incredibly cold temperatures, extremely hot temperatures, keep the visor defogged, and go past the speed of sound. The jump is said to be attempted in summer.

The Right Way To Use Tissue Paper
Let’s say you’re walking down the street on a nice warm perfect day. Everything is going well…until you get shot. But your Life Alert is out of power and your cell phone is too. Now there’s a product that can stop all of those events from happening. A new type of fabric similar to tissue paper, is as strong as Kevlar, and has solar capabilities, so you won’t die from getting shot, you can call the police and use your life alert, and catch the criminal. The fabrics name is germanium. Germanium is like compressed paper, which tissue paper does too to make it softer. Germanium is a more highly compressed version of tissue paper, making it bulletproof. This bullet resistant armor is also more flexible than Kevlar, and lighter too. The germanium is fused with silicon, and the light that the human eye can visibly see, the germanium sees too. Kinda sees. It absorbs, and turns the sunlight into power. Solar panels are 35% stronger than germanium and silicon, but it’s still enough power to power all the tools on the average soldier. This is a breakthrough in the soldier’s defense arsenal.

Computers Purify Water
A new computer chip has been proven to clean and refresh water. Like a computer, it has a magnetic field, but this magnet attracts bacteria and other fatal substances, and killing them. The chip is so small and transportable that it can practically be brought and put anywhere. The purifier is the size of a postage stamp, and when waterproof, clear and see-through. The purifier can purify a swimming pool as fast as a Brita filter can filter a few cups of water. When the computer chip was tested in North Atlantic sea waters and 99 percent of the bacteria and contaminants in the water were killed and removed. This chip might be the solution to all the dirty water in the world, stopping global thirst, but to do that, the chips would have to be mass produced, and these aren’t expensive, but it still costs money. The chip can also remove clogs in water systems, such as waste pipes.

War Peppers
India’s military is using a new type of weapon. Not a bomb, not explosives, but a simple vegetable: the pepper. Not just any pepper though, the “bhut jolokia”, the hottest pepper in the history of anything. The pepper is so strong it can paralyze a target, and can be used as tear gas. The pepper is extremely similar to a grenade, you can burn it, and anyone that breathes the smokes lungs, mouth, flesh and anything else that comes into contact will burn, you can squirt the juice into the victim, burning them and having a chance of putting them into shock and paralyzing them. This pepper is extremely hot. Scoville units, the unit used to measure spice are used for this as well. Tabasco sauce, one of the hottest sauces known to man, something that burns and makes you cry just with a drop. Tabasco has 2,500-5,000 Scoville units. The bhut jolokia has 1,000,000 Scoville units. 1,000,000. That’s about 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The pepper can be used just like any other gas or poison, if targets are holed into a cave or building, throw a burning one of these and that’s it. This pepper might even change the strategy of breaching a building altogether.
