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.
