He makes amazing paintings. But instead of painting on paper or canvas, he paints on human hands. He makes the hands look like different kinds of animals. He calls his artwork “handimals.” Daniele works with body paint and theater makeup. Because his art is so detailed, it takes him from 2 to 10 hours to finish just one painting. Once a handimal is complete, he takes a photograph of it.

Handimals<br /> <br /> You’ve got to hand it to artist Guido Daniele. He makes amazing paintings. But instead of painting on paper or canvas, he paints on human hands. He makes the hands look like different kinds of animals. He calls his artwork “handimals.” <br /> <br /> Daniele works with body paint and theater makeup. Because his art is so detailed, it takes him from 2 to 10 hours to finish just one painting. Once a handimal is complete, he takes a photograph of it. We give this artist a thumbs-up!<br /> <br /> Splashdown<br /> <br /> Get ready for a new extreme sport: skyaking! Miles Daisher invented it. He gets into a kayak and pushes himself out of a plane. Then he flips and twists through the air and opens his parachute. Finally, he lands in a river or lake at 50 miles per hour. Skyaking isn’t easy. Says Daisher, “It does take some decent balance skills.”<br /> <br /> YOUR ADVICE<br /> <br /> What should you do if you suspect a classmate of stealing from you but you can’t prove it?<br /> <br /> “Two years ago, a girl stole my wallet. I couldn’t prove she did it, so I didn’t accuse her. Now I know I need to be more careful with my things. My advice is to avoid bringing valuable things to school if you can.”<br /> <br /> Jet-Powered School Bus<br /> <br /> Paul Stender used to ride a slow bus to school. Now that he’s an adult, Stender built a much faster bus. He bought an old school bus and added a jet engine from a fighter plane.<br /> <br /> He used special metals to make the bus frame stronger. Now it can zoom along at 367 miles per hour! “This is my revenge for all those days riding on the slow journey to school,” he says.
