    The 5-Minute Rocket

    By Dave Prochnow Posted on 10.1.2008 6 Comments

    Who says science isn't fun? Build this 5-minute rocket and you'll have hours of fun. Plus you might learn a thing or two about propulsion systems and rocket design along the way.

    Might be cheaper to use baking soda and vinegar instead of water and Alka-Seltzer.

    Yea the real plane is cool. But this crap video of a rocket powered plane is lame. Heck if ya want to make something flip like that just use a empty soda can put the rocket in and watch it waste a rocket engine flipping.

    A Six-Pack of "Light" Beer

    By Dave Prochnow Posted on 9.15.2008 23 Comments

    Al Gore and company have helped us to see that our planet is in peril. Lend a hand, make a toast, and help illuminate ways for saving Earth -- all at the same time! It's easy to do your part: recycle, refill, and recharge.

    Have fun with it he says and spend even more money. I like the idea of gutting the cheap solar lights already made up and putting it into the bottle.

    The title says six-pack yet its for only one bottle lantern. For a 6 pack it would be more like $150. Way to much for me I'll stick to my cheap-o walmart special solar lights.
