Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss, whose real name is Theodore Geisel, is a famous book writer. He wrote children stories such as The cat in the hat, Green eggs and ham, and many others. However, what was the real story behind his children stories? For example, the story green eggs and ham was made off a bet. Dr. Seuss' editor bet him that he would not be able to create a story that had 50 words or less. However, Dr. Seuss was able to, and created the story green eggs and ham using exactly 50 words. The fifty words are a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, and you. Quite an accomplishment to have made an awesome book that only used 50 words, and I always loved green eggs and ham.

A car that runs on air

A company called Zero Pollution motors is setting a price tag of $20,000 dollars on a car that runs on nothing but air, and a little salad oil/alcohol/pint of gasoline. The car can go 35 mph for around 60 miles with its tank of compressed air. Although those numbers may seem very low, it also has a small motor that compresses outside air to keep the tank filled for a much longer amount of time. The car can also be recharged by plugging it into a socket.

This technology isn't relatively new, compressed air engines have been around and known about for a long time. Yet the main reasons of the car finally being built is mainly because of the rising gas prices. As the gas prices reach high costs, the reason to manufacture the car grew as well. However the car does have one major problem, it may not pass crash test. The car plans to be built in 2011.
