| Tuesday Oct 29, 2002 | The world of paper airplane design can be
complex, rather competitive, and often utterly pedantic. Still, there are plenty of less rigid blueprints for

supposed to be. When all is said and done, sometimes the simple approach is still the
best. to Toys by scromp |
| Friday Oct 18, 2002 | If you spent your kidhood sometime in the past 50 years you know the name Wham-O - which was based on the sound made by the company's first sensation: the Wham-O Slingshot. Over the years the names of their creations have become household words: Frisbee...Hula Hoop...Superball...Hacky Sack. And unlike other toys of the past half-century which either disappeared into obscurity or collector's vaults, Wham-O's products continue to be manufactured and updated while still maintaining the charm of the originals. Wham-O's imaginative water toys are perennial favourites. Recall that yellow Slip-n-Slide you belly-flopped on as a kid on the summer lawns of the seventies...and watch today's kids romp through various 21st century versions, which have grown tunnels, waterfalls, asteroid obstacles and tidal waves. Wham-O had been assimilated by the toy monolith, Mattel, in 1994...but a few years later, in a refreshing change of pace from the usual way of such things, they de-Borged themseves to become independent again.
