Take a look at this new invention. Now you can fall asleep anywhere you want with the comfort of a pillow. This multipurpose tool works as a hat and a head cushion.

Have you always hated the mess of spreading butter on your toast? Well this tool would save you that morning hassle.


I’m not too sure why anyone would invent this. Do you?

What would you invent if you could? Please write down an idea for an invention or an ad for one of these wacky inventions. Let your imagination soar.

Writing Assignment #2

February 4th, 2008 by chang_k

Meet these unusually talented horses. Click on each one to find their unique talent. After you’ve had a laugh (or two), I’d like you to write a story about them. You can just type your story under the comments section. Remember, I will not “approve” any comments that are just a sentence or two long. Think of a solid story with a beginning, middle, and end.
