About Sneakyuses.com
Sneakyuses.com promotes resource conservation with clever
reuse of everyday objects with how-to projects, books
("Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things").
“Sneakier Uses for Everyday Things” has a science reuse and
conservation theme illustrating how we can do much more than
we think with what we already have.
The book, a sequel to the bestseller "Sneaky Uses for
Everyday Things," offers such projects as: turning milk into
a plastic, making a radio with a penny, detecting
counterfeit currency and turning on toys with a magnet,
storing a survival kit inside a watch, receiving aircraft
signals with an AM/FM radio and how devices can be placed in
clothing to make a 007 'gadget jacket.'
Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things is now in its 12th printing
and Sneakier Uses for Everyday Things is already in its 4th.
Each book includes over 40 projects and amazing stories
about resourcefulness including: people who make boats made
out of milk cartons, the window washer who used a squeegee
to save an elevator car full of people from World Trade
Center Tower One on September 11, 2001, as well as the story
of the Colditz glider, an 18-foot airplane built by
prisoners in a German war camp out of materials scavenged
from their beds and sleeping bags.
Gayle Anderson of KTLA Channel 5 News reported that parents
saw an improvement in their children’s grades in science
after reading the books. A Minneapolis school has recently
developed resourcefulness courses based on the book. “Sneaky
Uses” has been featured in publications including the Los
Angeles Times and U.S. News & World Report, on NPR’s Science
Fridays and on television shows including KTLA Morning News,
Chicago's CBS Tech Tuesday Show and CNN Headline News.
Publishers Weekly says: "Offering readers a chance to become
real-life MacGyvers, Tymony's “Sneaky Uses for Everyday
Things” shares a mixed bag of useful and useless tricks. The
book, which may remind 007s-in-training of The Worst-Case
Scenario Survival Handbook, offers sections on gimmicks,
gadgets and survival techniques (the last section is by far
the most valuable).
The National Science Teacher Association says: "On the old
television series “MacGyver,” the hero was always getting
out of tough situations by making practical devices out of
simple materials. The author of Sneaky Uses for Everyday
Things interests students in the wonders of science by
showing them how to do their own amazing MacGyver feats.
This approach not only gets students interested in science,
but also encourages good critical thinking by students as
they solve practical problems."

Wiper of Crocodile Tears
(In Loving Memory of Stephen Robert Irwin)
February 22, 1962 - September 4, 2006
=====================================
Stephen Robert Irwin, nicknamed "the Crocodile Hunter," was
an Australian naturalist and television personality, best
known for the television program The Crocodile Hunter, an
internationally-broadcast wildlife documentary co-hosted
with his wife Terri Irwin. The Irwins owned and operated
Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Queensland.
(Source: [link removed]).
He died on September 4, 2006, during an encounter with a
stingray, while shooting a new TV film show on the Great
Barrier Reef in Australia.
==================================
Today, a venomous stingray took you away
To an ocean of peace-
So I am deeply saddened of you,
And will continue to miss!
You indulged yourself and life
In dangerous animals’ game-
With an irrepressible, effervescent personality,
And propelled to the global fame!
You stalked lions, faced off with snakes,
And wrestled the crocodiles-
To convey the message of conservation,
While putting the global face on smiles!
Your untimely death is tragic,
And truly a global loss-
’Cause your desperate love of snakes
And lizards tells who’s is the boss!
You are the wiper of crocodile tears,
And will remain under global view-
While your didactic shows will thrive
On TV with color and hue!
You will inspire us, Steve, from heaven,
As an impetus for actions-
And pave the way of conservation tales
Among believers and factions!
Now I pray to God for peace
To you, your family, and Nation-
And join the world on such a tragedy,
Echoed from air, ocean, and your passion!!
