Robot dog detects smelly feet
A company has invented a robot dog which faints when it detects smelly feet. Hana-chan is the creation of the National Institute of Technology Kitakyushu College, in Kyushu, who have been working on it for over two years. The toy dog, which has been made by their sister company NextTechnology, has a special sensor inside its nose and even sprays air freshener to make the bad pong fresher. NextTechnology’s Kimika Tsuji explained how a father’s idea came to life. He said: “He told us his daughter had said his feet were smelly. “But he didn’t want to know how bad the odor was because he would feel hurt. That’s why we developed this cute robot.” Police ‘severed arm’ report is false alarm Police were called to reports of a “severed hand” on a motorway - but it turned out to be plastic. Avon and Somerset Police were alerted to the cut up body part on Monday morning and jokingly offered “a hand” to anyone in need after finding out it was a false alarm. A tongue-in-cheek tweet on the constabulary’s official page read: “Call to say severed hand on motorway. Then confirmed by Highways. Officers take a look - plastic hand! #AnyoneNeedAHand (sic)”.
Adorable six-year-old pays off classmates lunch debt
A school girl is selling lemonade to pay off her friends’ lunch debt. Amiah Van Hill is just six years old, but she had the intuition to setup the stand to make sure her fellow pupils at Hayden Meadows Elementary School in Idaho, are eating properly. She told InsideEdition.com: “Every kid at school needs lunch, so that’s my way of helping.” Amiah started off by holding up a “lemonade 4 lunch” signpost and managed to make $40, more than enough for youngsters who receive a reduction in their meal price to be debt free.
Man sets Guinness World Record with largest bee beard
A man has set the new Guinness World Record for the biggest bee beard. Juan Carlos Noguez Ortiz has smashed the record for the person who dared to sit still for the longest amount of time whilst a swarm of bees smothered his face to create a long facial hair-looking illusion over his body. The Canadian male didn’t move for nearly eighty minutes whilst the winged animals covered his face, which saw him gain the title. Although Juan works at a honeybee farm and is used to being up close and personal with bees it didn’t stop him from being stung. And footage of Juan covered in the insects has taken the world by storm and has gone viral on social media, the video has also been obtained by Metro Online. A study proves 12 year olds are better with technology than their parents A study has discovered children under 12 years old are better with technology than their parents. Research conducted by Tech Will Save Us have found that almost 70 per cent of parents have noticed their brood are a lot more tech-savvy and are faster on all of the devices than they are. Whilst over 30 percent of those under 12 people can program and code using Python, Javascript, SQL or PHP, in comparison to 24 per cent of mothers or fathers who have perfected the skill. Although children are in the know about a number of topics, parents still worry about how their brood will cope during their first week of school and question whether the youngsters are prepared enough.
