 Why Can't All Laundry Machines Be This Cool?

        As you know doing laundry is the most boring thing of all .... but not any more! Lee Wei Chen a student at London's Kingston University has invented a totally cool new washing machine that you have to play video games on to be able to wash your cloths. To able to finish all of your laundry you have to pas particular levels on the games. The funny thing is that its just like the games in the arcades you have to put coins in and then you can play and start the laundry cycle. The new modern fashion washing machine is for Lee's project but we all hope to see it selling.

          This article is very very amusing to me. This would be very cool to show up in stores for every to buy. The awesome part would be that not only adults would use it but even kids, so that way parents will have a little  help around the house. The other thing thats very interesting is that a young man in university has created this master piece for just a project not for selling. The biggest thing of all is that I just cant wait to see this and then help my parents with laundry and also play just for fun.

Gecko-Inspired Adhesive Tape Can Hold Up An Adult And Be Re-Used!

Scientist have been inspired from a little gecko to make a new brilliant experiment. They thought of a tape that can be re-used a million times. A piece of that tape

20 cm  x 20 cm can hold the weight of adults. Its also the strongest glue.Even though it is wouldn't rip of the page it would peel of smoothly. The geckos can walk on walls without damaging because they have these tiny hairs called setea.

I really like this article because its so cool how scientists have thought of a tape that can hold you up. It would be really extraordinary if you would be able to walk on the wall or to be hanging from it. It would also be much better if the tape could be re-usable instead of always getting new tape. The really neat thing is that you can use the tape without having to mess up your hard work. I really hope to see this some were and try it.
