Awesome Maze Game

Here's an awesome maze game at http://www.wimp.com/maze/. Hope you have fun. Oh yeah, compliments to colourfuly for showing me this fun/funny maze game(Indirectly).

Kites! Oh how fun kites can be. Kites come in sizes big and small. Colors from both ends of the spectrum. And the designs are completely awesome.But have you ever asked yourself how a kite could do such a thing? Well, kites create lift from deflecting wind towards the ground. Wind is formed when hot air rises and cool air sinks. I was able to learn about this in my science class. To learn more about how kites fly you can go to http://www.skratch-pad.com/kites/fly.html. Hope you fly your kites well!
