The Hiccups I'm gonna tell you for the last time.

This is a bad idea.

It's just a joke, alright?

Yeah, but it's not funny.

Simka, you're boring.

It's April Fool's Day.

Did you forget?

Quit worrying.

It'll be funny.

Katya, I got you a present.

Hmph.

You really think I don't remember it's April 1st?

And what, is that some holiday?

You're such a sneak.

So what's in there a cockroach right or a frog?

You're not gonna scare me with that

Come on, what is wrong with you?

You scared me half to death you two

Hey, come on, we were just joking Great joke.

Way to go.

You ended up giving the hiccups to her.

Humans use their lungs to breathe with the help of special muscles, the intercostal and the diaphragm.

When these muscles contract, you inhale, and when they relax, you exhale.

On its way in, air passes through the vocal cords.

If you swallow unchewed food, drink a lot of water in one gulp, or just get scared, then the diaphragm starts contracting uncontrollably.

These contractions make the vocal cords close very very quickly which produces a sharp sound that is called a hiccup

Looks like they're gone you see Simka no need to worry.

Thank goodness, but you shouldn't have done that

They're back Katya you gotta try holding your breath

Hold it, hold it!

I can't anymore.

Well, did they stop?

Ah!

Someone told me if you have hiccups, someone's thinking about you right now.

You're right. But who?

Mom?

Guess not.

Your dad?

Not him.

Chewsocka!

For real, Chewsocka.

Nolik.

Sorry.

The chameleon?

Maybe my teacher?

Santa Claus in April?

All right.

We need a different method.

Nolik, why aren't you helping?

Do you know anything we can try?

Uh, of course I know.

You need to jump up and down on one leg and count while you're doing it.

What?

Nice try there.

Then think of something yourself.

Alright, we'll try your method.

One, two, three, four, five, how long should I count?

Uh, I didn't figure that out yet.

You mean you just came up with this idea?

But look, your hiccups are gone.

You're right.

Aw, thanks, Nolik.

You saved the day.

People like joking so much that they even came up with the idea the holiday for it, April Fool's Day.

For centuries, kids and adults have been playing tricks on each other on that day.

For instance, 300 years ago, a crowd of townsfolk gathered together to watch a unique show.

But when the curtains opened, there was nobody on the stage.

But that's what happens.

And if you're not careful, you could get fooled too.

One One time they showed a story on television about harvesting pasta that grows on trees.

And many people believed it.

How funny is that?

Yes, tricks and jokes can be lots of fun, but it's important that they not be mean.

Before playing a trick on someone, think about whether you would find it funny if someone did it to you.

I heard that once there was this guy, he had the hiccups for a hundred years.

And was it the poor old guy's friends who scared him?

An idea.

You need to eat something really sour.

Do you have a lemon?

Thanks.

Why don't you eat it first?

Why would I?

You got the hiccups.

It's all because of you and your stupid tricks.

Well, it's not my fault that you can't take a joke.

What was that?

Happy April Fool's Day.

And now it's you, Katya?

Well, at least your hiccups are gone.

You're right, they are.

Simka picked a pack of pickled pack -o -mats.

Hooray!

Tideesh!

I guess the hiccups are contagious.

Just don't worry.

I have a surefire way to get rid of them.

The Online Store One, two, three, turn it!

Simka, you need to turn it in the opposite direction.

No, it's righty -tighty -lefty -loosey.

100

Why don't you come down here and do it, and I'll sit back and watch you?

101

My dissertation?

102

It went great.

103

I successfully defended it.

104

Professor Eugenius?

105

No, he didn't congratulate me.

106

I told the professor over and over not to forget about that.

107

He wouldn't be our Eugenius if he wasn't forgetful.

108

You should stop your joking and go and tell the professor about Elisa.

109

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and wait, go fix it once again.

110

Hey!

111

Whoa!

112

Guess we shouldn't bother him.

113

Then what do we do now?

114

Look at that, Tweek!

115

What is it?

116

A store on the Internet?

117

Uh -huh.

118

The professor probably wanted to buy flowers, but got distracted.

119

I think we should finish ordering them for him.

120

There are so many bouquets to choose from!

121

I'm sure he'd want the biggest one!

122

What do you think these numbers mean?

123

The number of flowers that are in it.

124

Oh, everything's already filled in.

125

The name, address, and a number for some kind of card.

126

There, done!

127

Tideesh!

128

They'll get here in an hour.

129

If there's something you want to buy, you don't have to go out to a store anymore to get it.

130

Clothing, fresh food, electronics, supplies for your pet or a toy you might like.

131

You can order almost anything you want from an online store without leaving home.

132

It's simple You pick out what you want put it in a shopping cart and pay for it

133

But kids should only shop online with the help of an adult before

134

you know it your order will be delivered straight to your house

135

Just as long as you gave them the right address that is Ah, what a lovely smell.

136

Oh, there's a note in here.

137

To Professor Eugenius, thanks a lot.

138

Hmm?

139

I was certain they were for me.

140

Hey, you got it all wrong.

141

They're from him.

142

They're for you.

143

We can fix this, no problem. To Elisa.

144

Done.

145

Ah!

146

Another bouquet?

147

These kind of flowers always set off my allergies.

148

Professor Eugenius is so absent -minded.

149

First they get sent to the wrong person, then he sends the wrong kind.

150

We can fix it, no problem.

151

Name, address, done.

152

Why does my phone keep making all these funny sounds today?

153

Don't worry, this time we know that we got everything right.

154

Good job, guys.

155

What is this?

156

How?

157

What happened?

158

Um, someone used my card and ordered a ton of flowers without me knowing.

159

No, not a ton.

160

Just three.

161

Bouquets, that is.

162

What?

163

You mean you guys never told the professor?

164

Never told me about what?

165

Well, um, Elisa, she was crying.

166

And you were busy working.

167

We decided to help you out.

168

You decided to help me out by spending a lot of my money?

169

Money?

170

What do you mean, money?

171

You think you can get flowers on the internet without having to pay?

172

That's what those numbers must have been about.

173

But you wanted to order flowers anyway, didn't you?

174

Yes, I did.

175

And look, I've already done it.

176

And then you.. you...

177

Professor Eugenius, you remembered!

178

When you're playing a game with play money, you can spend as much as you want.

179

But when you're playing a game on the Internet, you have to be careful.

180

Many of the websites out there that offer games and cartoons charge real money that is collected using credit or debit cards.

181

Adults get these cards from their banks or through work.

182

They're convenient for paying in places like restaurants, theaters, or stores.

183

Salesmen put the card in a reader to take money from the buyer's bank account,

184

and the buyer gets a message saying how much money he has left.

185

Now people can pay for things directly from their phones.

186

Only kids, you have to remember this simple rule.

187

Don't buy anything through the internet without the help of an adult.

188

Because with just one click, money can be gone for good!

189

Congratulations on defending your dissertation.

190

You did so well.

191

Thanks so much.

192

But you spent much too much money, dear professor.

193

Oh, nothing is too much for you, Elisa.

194

Yes, and I'll make sure that the plant is taken care of properly.

195

It will get watered and fed every single day.

196

And I'll watch it, so I can tell you how you're supposed to be watering them.

197

The Book Where did

198

Tom Thomas go today?

199

He went with his mom to the post office to pick up a package from his grandma.

200

Class!

201

I can't wait to see it!

202

Well, what did your grandma send you?

203

It's the number one coolest present.

204

Did you really get a pack -o -mat?

205

What?

206

I'm allowed to dream, right?

207

I wish it was a pack of math.

208

It's a book.

209

Oh, wow!

210

That's Treasure Island.

211

What's the difference?

212

I think books are as boring as it gets.

213

I agree.

214

Guys, come on!

215

Inside of this book are really cool adventures.

216

What are you talking about?

217

Inside that book are letters.

218

So, you're really not interested at all?

219

Nuh -uh.

220

By the way, inside this book there aren't just letters, it's got pictures.

221

Pictures?

222

A lot of them.

223

And they're exciting, colorful, and huge!

224

How about we take a little peek at those pictures?

225

Oh!

226

Pirates!

227

Uh -huh, a gang of the...

228

Simka, help me out!

229

Whoa!

230

Check out that skull!

231

What's going on here?

232

Well, if we want to find out, we'll have to read it.

233

Will you read it to us?

234

All right.

235

Having taken a hold of the map, the pirates set off to find the stolen treasure, and they walked on and on.

236

The road was winding, and went up and down.

237

Finally, that very pine appeared in the distance.

238

It towered almost 200 feet above the thicket.

239

Sensing that the treasure was close, the pirates rushed forward.

240

Even Silver hopped along on his peg leg.

241

After a moment, everyone was standing at a huge pit.

242

It was dug a long time ago.

243

Its edges were already crumbling and grass was growing at its bottom.

244

There were old boards from boxes lying around, but there was no chest filled with untold riches.

245

Someone had already been there and had stolen the treasure right out from under the noses of the pirates.

246

700 ,000 pounds had disappeared.

247

So what happened after that?

248

Yeah, who stole the treasure from there?

249

Read it.

250

Read it?

251

But reading's boring, you said.

252

Then don't read.

253

I don't care.

254

Me neither.

255

Oh, it's the guy who thinks reading is boring.

256

What?

257

I wasn't reading.

258

I was looking at the pictures.

259

I can't believe you.

260

You're reading it without me?

261

Grab it!

262

Chewsocka, this is not yours.

263

Give me back my book.

264

Pull it harder, harder.

265

Yes.

266

Oh, this is bad.

267

That book was his grandma's present.

268

We'll fix it.

269

In ancient times, people copied books by hand, but now they are made in printing houses.

270

First a mock -up is produced to place the text and pictures where they belong.

271

The pages are then transferred to metal plates which are loaded onto rollers.

272

Ink on the rollers is pressed onto paper as it passes through the printer.

273

The pages are then trimmed to size and stacked into reams.

274

Next the pages are put into order, stitched together into the inner book, and finally glued to the cover.

275

Good.

276

Now carefully.

277

Great job.

278

So now can you read the book to me?

279

I think it's someone's time to go to bed right now.

280

Just a little more, okay?

281

So, it's not boring then?

282

It's not!

283

Tom Thomas, were you reading?

284

Mom, Treasure Island is really great!

285

You were right!

286

It's the number one coolest present!

287

I am so glad you like it.

288

But why don't you continue reading tomorrow?

289

Now it's time for bed.

290

All right.

291

You've managed to wear it out already.

292

Well, me and Chewsocka, we were fighting over the book.

293

I think she also wanted to read it.

294

The Weather Station So what's the word?

295

Did you finish your homework yet?

296

Uh -huh.

297

Way to go.

298

So now you'll finish drawing us, yeah?

299

I don't know.

300

Katya.

301

Let's go outside.

302

Finally, we have some nice weather.

303

Our weather station says it'll be sunny for the rest of the day.

304

What weather station?

305

Our new home one.

306

I just bought it yesterday.

307

Come on, I'll show you.

308

She's never got time for us.

309

It's always school or homework or who knows what.

310

Like sleep and right now she's going out for a walk.

311

Thanks to new technology this time, you've got to admit, that device is pretty cool.

312

A home weather station is a smart thermometer.

313

It measures the current weather conditions outside and predicts what the weather will be like over the next few hours.

314

And not just the temperature, but also the speed of the wind and whether you can expect any rain or snow.

315

In order to do this job, the station needs two parts an outdoor sensor, and an indoor bay station with a screen to display the information.

316

Many of today's weather stations can also send this information to your smartphone.

317

Told you!

318

It's a great gadget!

319

I'll shoot a review after our walk.

320

Uh -huh.

321

I'll go get ready.

322

And what do you think Katya and her mom will do if we go and change the weather a little?

323

With the power of our minds?

324

Not quite with the power of a fixie tab.

325

Time for a little magic.

326

We did it!

327

There we go.

328

You going?

329

Tweek, I promise you, I'll draw you after my walk.

330

All right?

331

Of course that's all right.

332

It's only that I saw the forecast is predicting rain.

333

Uh -huh.

334

Like I really believe that.

335

Katya, grab an umbrella.

336

The forecast just changed.

337

But that's not a big deal, right? Who cares?

338

A little rain won't hurt us.

339

That's what we've got umbrellas for.

340

Actually, I forget where I saw it last.

341

Will you help me find it?

342

All right.

343

What are you going to say now?

344

It's here.

345

What?

346

Mom, check it out.

347

Wow, did it get colder.

348

Let's grab our scarves.

349

Keek, let me do it.

350

The End Since ancient times people have tried to predict the weather.

351

At first their predictions were made by interpreting signs.

352

If birds were flying low it meant it would rain.

353

If the night sky was clear it would be freezing the next day.

354

In the 17th century when Galileo Galilei invented the thermometer, the science of meteorology was born.

355

In those days a weathercock or weathervane was used to show what direction the wind was blowing.

356

And a device called a hydrometer would show how humid the air was.

357

Today all of the changes in the weather are registered by sensors.

358

Their data is being collected every second and is processed by powerful computers.

359

And that's not all!

360

There are satellites orbiting the Earth that are collecting data about the weather down here from up into outer space.

361

I'm not sure if the weather's gone crazy or if this weather station has.

362

Should we check what it says on the internet?

363

Good idea.

364

Where's my phone?

365

Hey, Fixies.

366

What are you planning on doing next?

367

Get out of there or just forget about me drawing you.

368

What else could we do to keep you at home?

369

Stop your sulking.

370

I can draw an extra picture of you after my walk.

371

Yeah!

372

Tideesh!

373

But only if you fix the weather station you broke.

374

What do you mean?

375

We didn't break it.

376

So you two.

377

Peace?

378

Peace.

379

It looks like our weather station got it all wrong.

380

I just made peace with it.

381

It needed a restart.

382

Now it's working fine.

383

What a smart girl you are.

384

Then let's go before the weather changes again.

385

What shall we do while they're away?

386

Go stroll together?

387

Hey, look, Tweak.

388

Now it's really showing rain.

389

And they forgot to take umbrellas.

390

That's why the forecast must have changed.

391

If you forget your umbrella, count on getting rained on.

392

The Quest Oh, colleagues!

393

I've been looking for you.

394

Can you help?

395

Just a minute, Professor.

396

We're finishing up a quest.

397

Uh, the what?

398

The quest.

399

It's a game.

400

Hmm, now chess I've heard of.

401

And backgammon, of course. But quest?

402

I don't know that one.

403

Wow!

404

I thought you knew everything.

405

You're a professor.

406

Sure, I'm a professor, of course.

407

That's very true.

408

It's just I haven't, um, played it, that's all.

409

You've never been on a quest before?

410

Uh, yeah, but I'm not much for kids' games.

411

I have an image to uphold.

412

The quest is not just for kids.

413

A quest is made up of many different tasks that the players have to complete in order to win the prize, like a treasure, for example.

414

First the players learn the lore of the game.

415

Depending on the quest, they can be detectives, Ghostbusters, or even astronauts.

416

The players can explore lots of different locations while looking for clues, or they can arrange a quest right at home.

417

You just have to come up with the story and the tasks.

418

Then invite your friends and let the game begin.

419

Good luck on your quest.

420

I'm gonna go and...

421

How about going on a quest, Professor?

422

I'd love to, but science awaits, my friends.

423

I, uh...

424

Are you scared you might lose, Professor?

425

Me?

426

Pfft!

427

How long does one of these quests take?

428

Ten minutes.

429

Ten?

430

I'll do it in five.

431

Okay, you're a seasoned detective.

432

In this quest, you're investigating the mysterious disappearance of a valuable museum artifact.

433

Something's gone missing?

434

Don't worry, that's only the lure.

435

I think I understand.

436

Now find the missing item before the thieves escape with it.

437

Wait, Katya!

438

The timer's on.

439

Where do I start?

440

Hey, look for the clue.

441

Ah, there it is.

442

What is it?

443

It's a fragment of a picture.

444

No hinting.

445

Yes, Nolik, I've figured it out.

446

Now I just have to find the others.

447

Ah, there's another fragment.

448

Now where are the other two?

449

This looks to me like an animal cell.

450

Is this the missing artifact?

451

That's not it.

452

It's over there!

453

I've got it!

454

It's over there!

455

Okay, let's see now.

456

Did you break the skeleton's finger?

457

Sure, for the quest.

458

Don't worry, Professor.

459

Just put it back.

460

The first quests appeared a long time ago.

461

In ancient Rome, quests were tales of great heroes' adventures.

462

In the 19th century, a popular game had players searching through their cities for notes marked with secret codes.

463

At the 20th century's end, computer quests became all the rage.

464

These computer games were simple at first, but then entire lifelike virtual worlds appeared, where you could walk through simulated locations looking for clues.

465

One day, a man met a woman playing a virtual computer game.

466

She was stuck in a room searching for an exit.

467

And he had an idea.

468

What if somebody could recreate an exciting quest and put it inside a real, actual room?

469

And that's how quests like ours began.

470

Now everyone in the world can enjoy them.

471

Almost there, Professor. Where?

472

Here?

473

Time's up.

474

Just a little more time.

475

I don't think these quests are for me.

476

Hey, I think I found it.

477

Tideesh!

478

Quest complete!

479

You finished your first quest.

480

Yay!

481

I, a respected professor, on a quest for a chocolate trophy.

482

Uh -huh.

483

Why are you eating it, Professor Eugenius?

484

I'm eating it, so no one else will steal it.

485

The Fitness Tracker What's with all the stomping?

486

It feels like we're having an earthquake in the TV.

487

Huh?

488

Sorry, Nolik.

489

I'm trying out this fitness tracker.

490

Awesome!

491

It's yours?

492

My mom's.

493

She uses it for working out.

494

So it belongs to your mom, but you're trying it out?

495

She left it at home today, so I just, uh, borrowed it.

496

Now that I think of it, I'm helping her out.

497

How?

498

My mom told me that you need to walk 10 ,000 steps every single day.

499

So I'll walk them for her, and the tracker will count them.

500

10 ,000 steps, are you sure?

501

How can you do that in one day?

502

A fitness tracker can help you maintain a healthy, fit lifestyle.

503

It has different built -in sensors.

504

They measure your heart rate, blood pressure, count your steps throughout the day, and can even serve as your alarm clock.

505

Everything gets recorded and displayed on the screen.

506

But remember, all the tracker does is count and display numbers.

507

It's up to you to do the getting up, walking, running, and exercising.

508

But I'm sure you can handle that.

509

One hundred ninety -nine, two hundred, two hundred and one, two hundred and two, two hundred and three.

510

At this pace you'll be at it all day.

511

Try running instead.

512

That's more like it.

513

All right, all right.

514

Keep it up.

515

Keep it up, keep it up.

516

Enough.

517

I think 500 steps is enough for me.

518

But what about your mom?

519

She'll be tired at the end of the day.

520

Who's going to get her steps in?

521

Ugh.

522

Now I'm done.

523

Let me do it.

524

Come on, Nolik, you've got this!

525

Nope.

526

Maybe we should put the tracker on Chewsocka.

527

No, wait.

528

We can finish this ourselves.

529

Right, Tom Thomas?

530

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health.

531

Although not everyone has the strength or makes enough time for it, there's actually an easy way to keep yourself in shape.

532

Walking.

533

Preferably outdoors if you can.

534

Every day.

535

To make it easier to walk long distances, you can try using walking poles.

536

This style is known as Nordic walking.

537

Or if the weather outside is bad, you can walk on a treadmill inside.

538

You can try walking at different speeds and inclines on a treadmill.

539

Or you can try race walking.

540

Race walkers use a special walking technique and can cover dozens of miles, set records, and even compete in the Olympic Games.

541

9 ,900.

542

98, 9 ,999?

543

Stop!

544

What?

545

Didn't you say a person needs to walk 10 ,000 steps a day? So?

546

Well, what if you take more steps than that?

547

What do you think could happen?

548

Well, maybe your legs could fall off.

549

Tom Thomas, I'm home.

550

Come help me with the groceries, please.

551

What do I do now?

552

Sit still and don't take any steps.

553

Just don't move.

554

Tom Thomas, I've been calling you.

555

Didn't you hear?

556

Yeah, I did, but I can't move.

557

And why not?

558

Because I've already walked 10 ,000 steps for the day.

559

Well, that's wonderful, dear.

560

But what's wrong?

561

I can't walk any more than that.

562

You can walk as much as you want to.

563

One day, I walked 20 ,000 steps.

564

Sometimes that's what it's like at work.

565

Now come help me and we'll go walk in the park, okay?

566

Park!

567

Park!

568

The Crane We did it!

569

The first floor of our Fixie skyscraper is done!

570

And only a hundred floors left to go.

571

I got this!

572

Let me try and help you.

573

We need something a bit bigger and stronger.

574

Oh!

575

DJ, come here.

576

Wow!

577

With this crane, we could build an actual skyscraper.

578

A crane is a very tall tower used for building things with a long arm called a jib.

579

The jib has a rope with a hook which lifts up the cargo.

580

But building a crane isn't easy.

581

You need a big cargo truck.

582

And finally, once the crane is nearly built, they put on a climbing frame.

583

It's like a big metal frame on the tower.

584

It builds itself using these new frames.

585

They just keep going until it's as tall as it needs to be.

586

A little left, more, a little more, a little lower, now more left.

587

Building a tower?

588

Dive scraper!

589

Well, let's hurry then.

590

Lower, go on.

591

That's it.

592

Now that's how it's done, Nolik.

593

But now it's crooked.

594

See?

595

It's fine.

596

I have an eye for these things.

597

Digit, grab the next one.

598

No, use the green one.

599

It's pretty.

600

Actually, red.

601

No, use the green one. Or yellow?

602

So wait, which one?

603

Take the blue one.

604

Did you stop?

605

If we keep arguing like this, we'll never finish.

606

But Fire, we want it to be pretty.

607

It doesn't need to be pretty.

608

Just tall, right?

609

Don't you guys have a blueprint?

610

We hadn't really thought about all that.

611

No blueprint?

612

Your tower's gonna fall.

613

It's fine so far.

614

What's most important is that it's pretty.

615

No, you're wrong.

616

You need a plan.

617

Digit, don't worry.

618

Just keep going.

619

Get the green one.

620

Lift it.

621

Wait, not yet.

622

Simka, we'll take care of this while you draw a plan.

623

Without a plan, you can't build.

624

And it really won't be beautiful.

625

This is ridiculous.

626

Let's all draw a plan.

627

First we have to make sure the colors match.

628

It's fine, just go.

629

But it needs a blueprint.

630

It doesn't matter if it's ugly.

631

It needs a plan.

632

Oh my goodness, just stop.

633

People, when you just go, they're going to be super fast.

634

In ancient times, humans lived in caves.

635

Eventually, they made pit houses.

636

Take a pit, stack some logs, boom!

637

Problem was, these were pretty dark inside.

638

Later, people learned how to make houses from stones.

639

The first multi -story houses appeared in ancient Rome thousands of years ago.

640

These were called insoli.

641

Over the years, we learned how to build taller.

642

At the end of the 19th century in America, they built the first 10 -story building.

643

People thought it was so tall, it could touch the sky.

644

That's where they got.. the term skyscraper.

645

I suppose they also could have called it a cloud scraper.

646

Today, the world's tallest building is in Dubai.

647

It's a skyscraper 163 stories tall.

648

It's not a plan.

649

It'll be a map.

650

Hey, stop fighting.

651

Look, it's done, guys.

652

Cool.

653

I believe it's actually super cool.

654

You did an amazing job.

655

She's right.

656

That's a pretty sweet building.

657

But you gotta fix that block over there.

658

Can you move the spire, please?

659

Oh, be careful!

660

Aw, it used to be cool. But it was pretty

661

Should have had a plan

662

That's alright guys

663

We'll build a new one I guess so

664

But we could use a few more supervisors

665

The Safety Harness Hey Nolik I say we go scare Elisa What do you think?

666

Yeah I'm in Alright let's go

667

Hey Nolik Where are you going?

668

What about the rock climbing?

669

We changed our plans for you.

670

Getting some lessons was your idea.

671

You're right.

672

Fire, I'm sorry.

673

I wish we could play our trick, but they invited me.

674

I invited you too, didn't I?

675

But you did it later.

676

You want to join us?

677

No, thanks.

678

Fire, are you upset with me?

679

Just go already.

680

They're tired of waiting around.

681

Why did Nolik do that?

682

Just trade me in for the new kids.

683

Just you waiting, Nolik.

684

you'll be crying your heart out to be with me.

685

There we go!

686

Pull yourself up!

687

This harness is just getting in my way.

688

Look where fire climbed all the way to!

689

And without any of these ropes!

690

You know, maybe it's less comfortable with a safety harness, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to fall without one.

691

Rock climbers wear special belts called climbing harnesses with loops on them.

692

Fastened to one of the loops is a hook with a lock called a carabiner.

693

The carabiner is connected to a secure rope protecting the climber from a dangerous fall.

694

By the way, safety harnesses?

695

They're not just for mountain climbing.

696

They protect window cleaners on skyscrapers and aerial gymnasts under the circus big top.

697

And come to think of it, a seatbelt in a car is a safety harness too!

698

Really?

699

No reaction?

700

Then wait till you see these, Nolik!

701
