a different "Big Bang"

Have you ever heard about the biggest volcano eruption in history? Some names that might come to mind are Mount St. Helens or even Krakatua, but as big as these might seem they are not the biggest. The biggest and maybe the least heard of is Tambora. In April of 1815 the volcano on a island in Indonesia erupted enough lava to cover the whole island, and killing most of their people. There was an estimated of 60,000 deaths but that wasn't the only problem. The ash from the volcano went into the air and caused some nasty problems. Because of the disturbance cattle would not eat and the crops would not grow. This caused a huge famine worldwide. The reason that the BIGEST volcano eruption is not know as well is because of the communications at the time. The only was to communicate with other countries was by ship. With this lack of communication few people even knew that there was a volcano eruption to begin with

Mini-Cat Cars

Introducing the new car of tomorow! The mini-cat car is a car that is environmentally friendly and fuel efficient. This car is cheap to assemble and cheap to fuel. The mini-cat car runs on compressed air, and electricity which is safe for the environment and the air tanks are easy to get rid of. The compressed air can't catch fire and won't leave harmful vapors that other cars have. The car also doesn't need sparkplugs or batteries to run so there is less matenance needed. The mimi-cat car is environmentally friendly and is the safe car of the future.
Here are the links so you can learn more about the mini-cat car.
