let's go ride a bike

A man in China has created a bicycle! It's a spiffy new invention where you can sit down on a contraption and use your feet to make it go! Genius, right?!

Okay, so you've seen a bike. But not like this. An "inventor" in China, named Guan Baihua, made a bike with a five-sided pentagon as the front wheel and a three-sided triangle for the back wheel. I give you the side counts to make sure understand that THE WHEELS ARE NOT ROUND!

Hold on. I have to look up the word wheel. I have a feeling that in order to be a wheel, something must be round. Let's see...

Ok, so I looked it up. It has to be circular and rotate. Is a pentagon circular enough to be considered a wheel?

Anyway, some guy made this. He said it's not as bumpy as you would think, but it is harder to pedal. He wanted to give people an alternative to the standard bicycle with two round wheels.

So, I have alternatives for people bored of useful objects.

How about a phone without an earpiece? You don't want to hear what anybody is saying, so why pretend to listen? Just call your friends and tell them what they need to hear!

Perhaps you are looking for a spoon with hole in it. That way, you will never burn your tongue on your soup because it will never make it to your mouth. AND! You will have a very warm lap!

And finally, for those who really want a challenge, a keyboard where every key is a different size. The "J" will be bigger than the space key, but the "T" will be smaller than a needle point. Perhaps I will keep "Q" the standard size. It's not like anybody likes the letter Q.

I'm off to deal with the calls from The Q Appreciation Association.

Enjoy!
