Does anybuggy have
Does anybuggy have a Superplexus? My dad invented it, and it went all over the world, then they stopped making it. It makes us feel really good to know that people like it! So any Superplexus lovers out there?

Umm... What's a Superplexus???

Don't feel offended by BellaTrix and me (we live in the middle of nowhere), but what is a Superplexus? My dad is working on an invention, that for security reasons, I can't say what it is (not even to my closest friends!). My cousin invented several things, all of which the ideas got stolen.... :(

My dad had several inventions stolen, too!!! Not fair!

See, people???!? It CAN happen!!! Not many people believed me. They thought that inventions/stories/ideas were copyrighted the moment you make it. Not true!! :(

Yah, tell me about it!!! Someone actually did steal it, AFTER IT WAS COPYWRITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They stole it in another country, and were planning on bringing it to the US, when somebuggy said "Um..." think deep gruff voice "That's already been done here, and you have to get the toy maker's permission!" That being Hasbro. But Hasbro had decided not to make it the US anymore by then, so the "thieves" actually came to my DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which ended up a life saver, because now they're going to be the people re-releasing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, we'll be getting royalty checks (money) from it now, whereas, we wouldn't have had any rights over it if they hadn't come to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! My cousin (she's a senior in highschool) invented this outlet sort of thingy that has lots of outlets for charging your phone/iPod at faster speeds (not just an extention outlet). She showed it at her school science fair and she won! Somebuggy (probably one of the judges) liked the idea a little too much and stole the idea.... Now it's sold at almost every store.... :( She also wrote a comercial for school, and somebuggy stole that too! :(:(

That's OK!!! You don't have to be in the middle of nowhere to not hear about it!! It was kinda famous a couple years ago, but then when they stopped making it, everyone was looking for them for about six months afterward, but then it's like everybuggy forgot except a rare few. They're still selling it in Japan, or Europe, or some other place overseas, but definitely not around here. You might see it in stores in a year or so, but until then, it remains a mystery... (unless you go to my dad's website, or google Superplexus) (You might even still find it on Wiki!) It's too hard for me to explain, more than, have you heard of Labyrinth? It's a little like that I guess. Superplexus is basically a 3D maze inside a plastic ball. It has a little ball bearing inside, and the goal is to keep the ball from falling of the track. You really have to see it to understand it, but I'm telling you, it can drive you insane! Some people get so frustrated that they throw it across the room! (which you really shouldn't do) I highly recommend it though!!
Sorry, I always write too much!

Laura, you don't write too much! All that you wrote was VERY helpful! I googled Superplexus, and it said that they were back in production. There's a picture, and it looks really complicated! My dad doesn't invent stuff, so it must be interesting to have a dad like yours! My dad's boring; you know what he does all day? He sits down, turns on the TV, and does work on the computer! Yes, he does that even on Sundays! I would really like to go skating with him someday or something. He's not very ugh, fat. He's still normal.

Ooh! Sounds intresting! :D:D:D I'll Google it!
(December 28, 2008 - 8:59 pm)
I Googled it! It looks fun! My dad's invention isn't exactly fun...
(December 28, 2008 - 9:02 pm)
Thanks!! Yah, that's ok if it's not fun!! My dad once invented a Matte cutter (not fun), that he worked really hard on, and then somebuggy completely stole it!!! No, I don't mean they had the same idea, but he told them about it, and they stole it!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people can be soooo mean!
So, yah, I understand why you can't tell us what his is...

What is it??
(December 29, 2008 - 9:21 am)
It's a game. If you read my post descibing it, you might see what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, my description is nothing compaired to my dad's, so it might be hard to picture. I suggest, if you haven't already, googleing it too. I REALLY wish they let us put links so I could put his site on here, but I understand, and am also glad they have saftey regulations. So, yah, look it up. You could go to superplexus.com, don't worry it's safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One more thing, I'm not sure about p.c.s, but if you have a mac, you can type "superplexus" into the address bar and hit return, it should go to it directly. Don't panic if the name changes to something EDU, it's cause my dad's a teacher. The first thing you should see is the superplexus it's self, on a white background. I just tested it, to make sure it didn't go to some weird site, and all's clear!!!!
Cricket, I didn't put a link, and if you're worried about me telling them to go to this site, you can check it out first!!!!!! That would be soooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!

(December 30, 2008 - 8:21 am)
Hee hee, it can get a little confusing!! I want to know what Paige's dad's thing is, too!! Paige, you have to tell us as soon as everything is worked out!!!!! :)
