用巧克力發電

如果真的可以用巧克力發電…. 想像每個人家裡都放一個巧克力發電器, 沒電只要出去買巧克力就可以有電了~ 可是這樣好像會吸引螞蟻吼? o_O
巧克力其實本身並不甜, 而是有種苦苦的味道 (dark choco 就是苦苦的). 加了糖, 巧克力才變甜. 說吃太多巧克力會變胖, 大概是因為太甜吧? 如果只吃dark choco的話, 還會越吃越肥嗎?
記得Back to the Future 2 那部電影開頭就有個 Mr. Fuel 可以把垃圾變成fuel; 這構想的一部分已經開始實現囉.

孩子無照駕駛被取締 家長反怪警察大驚小怪

You know what is called crazy? It’s when parents blame the police when their own children were caught driving without a licence…. Some parents really can’t teach and can’t distinguish between what’s right or wrong. Furthermore, they’re jeorpardizing other people’s lives by letting their children drive dangerously.
孩子無照駕駛被取締 家長反怪警察大驚小怪
【中央社 】
(中央社記者曾立南投四日電)南投縣警局交通隊深夜執行路檢,查獲六名未成年少女分乘三部機車無照駕駛,家長被通知到場,不但不管教子女,還怪警察執法大驚小怪,交通隊長陳靖平不禁搖頭。
南投縣交通隊三日深夜在南投市軍功橋執行路邊臨檢,查獲六名只有十六和十七歲的女學生無照駕駛,見警察路檢還在橋上雙黃線迴轉,被攔下並帶回交通隊,除了勸導還通知其中一位住南投的家長到場。
那位家長到交通隊,先罵警察大驚小怪,還搬出民意代表朋友,要求放一馬;交通隊不賣帳,更搬出法令,指無照駕駛要罰六千元,雙黃線迴轉罰九百元,父母未善盡管教之職,將公布姓名,並接受道路安全講習四小時;一下子就把家長轟得無話可說。
交通隊依規定把失職的父母姓名,公布在縣警局網站,發現其中兩名少女父親分別在苗栗和嘉義當警察,意外給自己人難堪,還有些感慨。
