Since the arrival of Free solar roofing and Global Gyms...(financed by the five year global halt of spending on Space exploration, nuclear missile production and war and military operations) the latter idea taken from Hong Kong, where the first energy saving gym was constructed, we all have free power.

Everyone is scrambling for an appointment to go to the gym - they all know it is generating our power, and people are using the gyms for other reasons now - the same people are…

A lame effort, but - I ACTUALLY DID IT and will continue to do it!

Hi Guys and gals!

So, I've been toying with LOADS of different inventions, but I have opted to actually ACT for the mission. Now, this is REALLY lame - I hold my hands up...but...

2) Abel and Cole - Organic fruit and vegetable boxes…
