A jetpack is a powerful invention that lets human beings - or anything else for that matter - fly high above the ground. The tanks blast out hot air that moves people quickly when they turn it on. Attached to all this machinery is two handles, and whatever way you turn them, the jetpack goes.

Because such powerful equipment is packed in such a small container, it might not be a surprise to you that is hard to control.  If you see someone flying over a lake at highspeed, they’ve obviously had years of training and practise, indicating you should not try this at home. Also, always make sure your jetpack is on full power, otherwise the battery could pop its clogs any moment.

As well, as Will Smith (right) applied, a jetpack is an extremely dangerous thing to ride because especially if a child rode one, it could easily go out of control, even for grown-ups.

We here at Toby News really hope you never ride a jetpack for the rest of your life. Don’t.

Ask The Pro

Yo, peeps! It’s me, actor and singer Will Smith, who also secretly uses a jetpack behind people’s backs! Actually, though I look like a pro and am one, it took me 20 years to master the art of the jetpack. Also, didn’t I mention its dangerous? Yeah. Once I was up 1,000 feet above sea level rehearsing my act for my famous TV show, Fresh Prince of Bel-air.

See ya!

Too Cold To Handle: The Science Behind Brain Freeze

When you eat ice cream or something cold, you will probably experience brain freeze. It happens when you gulp a cold substance too quickly for your brain to cope with. Brain freeze is a way of telling your body to slow down and take it easy. It doesn’t feel particularly nice, but at least it works. Here’s how it happens: when you slurp up a really cold drink or eat ice cream too fast you are rapidly changing the temperature in the back of your throat, which feeds blood to the brain.  The brain can’t actually feel pain despite its many sensors, but actually brain freeze occurs on the outer layer of brain tissue, where the throat meets. When the cold hits, it causes a strange feeling which is what causes the pain you feel when you get brain freeze.
