Title: technology
Post by: skywatcher on August 07, 2012, 08:40:34 PM
I was visiting my son last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper. This is the 21st century, he said. 'I don't waste money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPad.'

I can tell you, that damn fly never knew what hit it...

Your son had a good point, I use the Kindle to store all my 'books' which I find scattered across the internet.  It beats carrying a round 3000 paper-based books :)

This was a joke, .... not actual fact.  ???

The funny was that flies are normally swatted with rolled up newspapers, but the son only read news on his iPad.  So when the father (who wasn't up on technology) wanted to swat the fly, he killed it with his iPad by throwing at the fly and broke it.

Shhheshhh you guys  ::)

Now here's some real fly technology!

(http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/bug-a-salt-gun.jpg)

Lorenzo Maggiore has come up with a sweet middle ground between fly swatters and pesticides. His invention is called Bug-A-Salt, a pump action gun that uses ordinary table salt as projectiles. It looks so fun to use you'll wish your house had more pests. Or not.
