An engineer recently built a car for his pet goldfish. Thomas
constructed a four-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle is steered by analyzing the movements of the goldfish inside the tank. Blub-the goldfish…was placed in a car and drove it for a distance of 40 feet, setting a new Guinness World Record for the greatest distance covered in a motion-sensing vehicle by a goldfish in one
minute. Knowing that a car driven by a goldfish is not particularly practical, Thomas says the motion-sensing technology could be very useful to people with disabilities. His objective is to show people what is possible.
A quick-thinking school bus driver became an unexpected hero when Marlene was driving her normal route, and spotted a house fire. She stopped the bus and rang the doorbell. There was a sleeping family inside. And because of Marlene, everyone is safe.
A 14-year-old diagnosed with a rare cancer was asked what he wanted for his Make-A-Wish gift. Instead of asking for a trip to Disney…..Jude said he just wanted to help others. So, Make-A- Wish collected and handed out sleeping bags, backpacks full of supplies, and hot food for homeless people in the area.
Parents at a Texas elementary school found out that their beloved crossing guard had been taking buses and ride-shares to work after her car broke down. So, members of the school’s Dad’s Club quickly raised several thousand dollars and bought her a Jeep. They even covered insurance and maintenance.
