12 Things To Do When There's No Power

Imagine a relaxed, cozy evening in 1765. Electricity has been invented, and man kind is abusing it. All of a sudden the grid overloads and all power in the area has gone out! What to do now! There are thousands of possibilities, but only 12 have made the cut.
1) Clean the house from top to bottom and leave the place as clean as the dogs mouth!
2) Refurbish the front and back yards, plant new plants, destroy all weeds without fail and mow the lawn.
3) Repair anything on the wooden cart in your driveway! (If there's nothing to repair, break something and repair that!)
4) Visit other members of the town. (Although that's only 6 people)
5) Embark on a hunt in order to get food for tonight's dinner!
6) Invent some new games in the forest while hunting for dinner.
7) Get sidetracked while playing the game and stumble around and get yourself lost.
8) Spend a cold, wet and uneventful night in the jungle.
9) When the sun rises, try to find your way back home, in time for breakfast.
10) Write a journal entry with a piece of charcoal on a giant rock about the nights adventures.
11) Teach the other town members the new game you invented and proceed to get the entire village lost in the jungle.
12) Pray to the Gods for days on end, until the town magically reappears!!

Top 3 Fighter Aircraft

From the advancements of Wilbur and Orville Wright, the world of aviation has changed drastically! No longer are we bound to Earth, no longer is the car so important. Now we have aircraft and with that; fighters. This is my list of the top 3 fighter aircraft of the world.



3) F-35 Lightning
One of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world today is the F-35 Lightning. With incredible speed, unbelievable stealth, and the most advanced weaponry systems installed, this plane is one of man kinds greatest advancements in fighter aircraft. This plane has the potential to out fly and out perform any other fighter out there. Of course, the right pilot has to fly it correctly in order for this to happen! Canada has it's name on the list for possible receivership of this incredibly agile and dangerous aircraft. This aircraft also has the capabilities to take off vertically like a helicopter and land on extremely short airstrips. This gives it many advantages and puts this aircraft at number 3.





2) F-18 Hornet
Canada's number one fighter aircraft. This is one of the older fighter aircraft, but it still performs like it was fresh off if the assembly line! With advanced weapons, incredible speed, outstanding agility, and huge payloads, this fighter is still one of the most rugged ones fighting for our freedom. With opportunities to launch from aircraft carriers, this jet has the potential to fight in all reaches of the world and deliver stunning performances. Although it has a few drawbacks, it is outstanding in all other categories this plane is sitting in a comfortable, number 2 position.






1) A-10 Warthog
The Hot Seat! Commonly known as the "tank killer", the A-10 is, in my opinion, the number 1 fighter aircraft in the world. With its sleek design, huge firepower and unbeatable reputation, this aircraft deserves a standing ovation. The roar of the twin turbofan engines screaming through the dark Afghanistan nights is enough to frighten even the toughest of enemies! This aircraft can fly at the speed of sound, carry unimaginable payloads, and absolutely pummel any opponents in its path! This plane absolutely deserves the number one spot on the list of the all time Top 3 Fighter Aircraft!
