Siftables--aka the coolest toy blocks you'll ever see in your life.
Okay, well, maybe they aren't known as the "coolest" toy blocks you'll ever see in your life, but I certainly think they are. However, they are known as the toy blocks that can think.
Thinking blocks? Indeed! Developed by MIT grad student David Merrill, these toys can do math, play music, talk, and more!

Have you ever seen the movie Rocket Man? Ever wanted to fly through the skies using only a jetpack strapped to your back? It sounds like something that won't be around until the distant future, but luckily that is not true.
JetLev Sports Inc. has designed a special jetpack unit that allows users to fly and navigate through the air provided that they are above a body of water. The pack absorbs water through an attached tubing system and uses special high-power spray nozzles to hover the user in the air above the water surface. The water supply hose also acts...
