In technical terms, Fly pen is an even greater achievement than his LeapPad. Think of it as a powerful PDA sucked into the stylus alone. He views the $99 pen, which hits stores this fall in time for the Christmas season, as an ideal tool for teaching the 8- to 14-year-old tween market everything from algebra to Spanish. It's so impressive that Disney, Upper Deck, and Warner Bros. have already signed on to develop games for the device. And boy envisions still more uses for the Fly: as a group-computing device for businesses, for example, or a screenless PDA. He plans to eventually open its architecture to encourage broader development.

Goodbye to a Legendary Tortoise Harriet, a 330-pound tortoise, dies at age 176 A 176-year-old giant tortoise named Harriet died Friday at a zoo in Australia. Harriet, who weighed around 330 pounds, died of heart failure. Harriet's owner, Steve Irwin, hosts the Animal Planet network's popular show The Crocodile Hunter. Irwin and his wife, Terri, mourned Harriet's death. "She is possibly one of the oldest living creatures on the planet and her passing today is not only a real loss for the world but a very sad day for my family," Irwin said. The Tortoise's Tale Harriet was believed to be the world's oldest living tortoise and one of the oldest living creatures on earth. But despite her remarkably long life, Harriet was not the world's oldest known tortoise. That title is held by Tui Malila, a Madagascar radiated tortoise who lived to be 188 years old.

the world's first artificial stomach:

British scientists have built what they say is the world's first artificial stomach: a shiny, high-tech box that physically simulates human digestion. "There have been lots of jam-jar models of digestion before," said Dr. Martin Wickham of Norwich's Institute of Food Research, the artificial gut's chief designer, referring to the beakers of enzymes typically used to approximate the chemical reactions in the stomach. Wickham's patented artificial gut is a two-part model that is slightly larger than a desktop computer. The top half consists of a funnel in which food, stomach acids and digestive enzymes are mixed. Once this hydration process is finished, the food gets ground down in a silver metal tube encased in a dark, transparent box. Software sets the parameters of the artificial gut -- how long food remains in a particular part of the stomach, predicted hormone responses at various stages, and whether it is an infant or adult gut. Unlike previous gut models,
