The treacherous troglodyte Theodore
Thought terrifying tiny toddlers
The truest tactic to tell the throng
To tiptoe through Theodore's territory.
Theodore's teacher, though, thought this teenage tyrant thick.
Thus, the teacher told Theodore to try twenty tongue twisters
To trumpet the thug's talent to the throng.
Theodore tittered, then tutted, then tried to talk turkey,
Then turned to timidity,
Then taciturnity.
Tyrant toppled. Toddlers thrilled. Throng tickled (teacher too).
Tale through.

Scientist just archived anti gravity
For years, discussions have revolved around futuristic concepts like flying cars, floating furniture, and even floating buildings. However, the notion of anti-gravity isn't confined to science fiction; it's a real and captivating concept in physics currently under exploration. Anti-gravity entails a force that counteracts gravity itself, potentially enabling objects to levitate and move against gravitational pull, offering exciting possibilities for space travel and technological innovation.

Just Sixty Seconds
Oliver sat at a cold, grey steel-covered table. He knew he was next. The longer he sat here, the more confident he knew he wouldn’t make it. His hands were tied to the chair he was sitting on, pushed up against the steel table. A small camera in the corner of the ceiling with a tiny red flashing light was the only thing he was focused on. He felt sick to the stomach. He knew he didn’t have long.
