Ever Got A Bit Lost?

I read the children’s book called, ‘A Bit Lost.’  

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Chris Haughton.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young baby owl.

When a young sleepy baby owl topples out of the nest it falls to the ground below.

The baby owl is lost and scared, but then a friendly squirrel comes along and helps the baby owl to find it’s mother.

The storylines very much like another children’s book I’ve read, however it’s still a lovely story that young children would like. It has a happy ending.

It’s a great book for young children that encourages caring, family and friendship.

So, why not read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Are Aliens Causing Vibrations?

The question is, “Are aliens causing vibrations?”

For many years, I’ve felt a vibration under my feet when just standing still.

Although only for a couple of seconds, there was no doubt in my mind that it was coming from beneath the surface of the ground and was not caused by heavy traffic.

Not only have I experienced vibrations on pavements, but even inside my home, on one of the floors of a multi-story car park and from the second floor of a hospital.

So, what’s causing these vibrations?

Could there be something tunnelling deep below our feet without our knowledge?

Or could it be a misdirected vibration, where it’s really coming from the Troposphere?

Well, whatever the cause let’s hope it’s not the vibration of a gigantic sink hole!

But hey, I’m not expert, what do you think?

Do You Like Cookies?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Mmm Cookies,’ yesterday.

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch. Illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young boy named Christopher that likes to make cookies, not tasty, delicious cookies, but play clay ones.

Unfortunately, he tricks his unsuspecting parents into eating them. Not amused they warn his teacher of his antics.

At school, Christopher’s delighted to be given a cookie by his teacher.

But will it be a real tasty delicious cookie or just a play clay one?

To find out, either read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book that all children will like.

Do Robotic Bee’s Exist?

The question is, “Do Robotic Bee’s Exist?”

Inspired by insects, it appears that researchers have designed a robotic bee, named ‘RoboBee.’

Not only can it fly, dive and swim but it can also launch itself out of the water.

Although the capabilities are on a tiny scale, it’s incredible that this tiny robotic insect can do these things.

What next?

Maybe the researchers could scale up and create a robotic machine the size of a jumbo jet, that could do similar things.

With robotic technology moving so fast, and with robots in high demand to aid defence, space exploration etc. I expect that this is just a small part of what’s already out there.

Now I’m not saying it’s not great what these robotic researchers can create a working being from nothing, but once these robots can think for themselves then we’re gonna be in serious trouble.

For I believe that one day, robots will lead and humans will follow.

But hey, I’m no robotics expert.

What do you think?

What's Your Favourite Book?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book,’ last week.

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

It’s a delightful rhyming children’s picture book. It tells the tale of a boy called Charlie Cook who loves to read his favourite book about a leaky pirate ship.

However, the pirate story leads into many other fantastic stories, with each story ending with a favourite book.

This children’s book has a unique and interesting ending, but I’m not going to spoil it and tell you.

To find out what happens in the end, either read the book or watch it on YouTube then you can tell me what you think of Charlie’s Favourite Book and also tell me what your favourite book is.

This is a great book for young children that encourages imagination and creativity.

What’s A Fungus Eating Plastic Called?

The question is, “What’s a fungus eating plastic called?”

We generate several tons of waste a day and plastic’s the major pollutant and cannot be broken break down easily or in an environmental friendly way.

However, the answer to rid ourselves of this plastic pollutant may here already, as samples taken from a rubbish dump outside Islamabad in Pakistan showed a soil fungus feeding on plastic.

It’s called ‘Aspergillus Tubingensis.’

A fungus that lives in soil that seems to have a taste for plastic.

This is great news for the planet, but let’s hope it doesn’t get a taste for rubber.

“Great, there goes my wheels.”  (tyres for those who don’t get it)

It makes you wonder what the other funguses eat?

So, what do you think?
