look Glen's Lookout overlooks Clangors Glen. Named after the ill-fated Professor Woodworf Clanger. Nearly 40 years ago he had built a flying contraption that didn't fly. He plummeted over the edge and went straight down into the water. It is rumored that parts of his contraption are still submerged in the waters of Slapp's Lake, at the glen's bottom. It's called Glen's Lookout because that was supposedly the last words he yelled before he went over the edge. LOOK OUT! He tried to grab hold of the oak tree, but the weight of his contraption pulled him over the edge.

It must have gotten lost or something. read mail It reads: Dear Mr. Clangor, I was able to evaluate the data you had sent about your flying contraption. You are right in your assessment that the contraption is short 2.2 grams of weight. You could just find something that is the required weight, and hang on to it. If this adjustment is made, everything should work properly. I wish you luck on your review. I hear that Beaker's Brother has sent his oldest son to Whimsington. Keep an eye out for him, he's a rough teen. I believe he will be trying to run for the IOCC board. Sincerely, W.P. Pennington south You move south.

She says, then returns back inside her home, closing the door behind her. throw pie at burton You throw the pie at the snot nosed teenager. He manages to fall backwards trying to avoid the flying pie, dropping a coupon of some sort. The pie hits him square in the face. "I'll get you for this....you.....you.....I'll get you!"

Loud creaks and groaned fill the air as the machine slowly emerges. It doesn't look like it is going to be successful, as the balloon starts to descend back towards the water. Just then, Milo appears to give you a helping hand. He just happened to bring a tarp along, and covers the machine while both of you get the contraption back to your lab. "I'll keep your secret, Professor. But you will owe me one." Milo states as he leaves your lab. You thank him and agree. "I'll just release these bees. See you later, Professor."

It's located very high, and you'd need a leg up to reach it. I haven't much time to check it out now, I have to double check my machine before flight. I just know that something strange is going on.

Inventors of Contraptions Committee Building The small, dark building, which you are familiar with; or at least were familiar with before the renovations, is quiet. A half moon shaped table fills the space near the far wall, which is where the board members of the IOCC sit. A small library, if you will, takes up the west wall, just around the corner from where the board members sit. Many hours have you spent researching your 'theories', here in the silence of the IOCC board room. Clayton Melborne Rogers is sitting behind the table. It almost looks like he is napping. Thomas Jules Whitney is sitting behind the large table. He is keeping a close eye on the entry box. Mortamer Ulysses Franklin is sitting behind the moon shaped table, watching your every move. examine painting The painting depicts the founder of Wimsington, just outside of the old building; before renovations had begun, several years back. The statue seems to be looking toward the east. The painting is pretty nice, but there seems to be a thread out of place.. examine statue There are a couple of statues on the library shelves.

I have the form right here. I will fill it out for you." He says, but is slightly taken back by your refusal. "Thank you, Morty. But I think I can handle this one on my own."

You turn around to see the floor open up. There is a dark, narrow stairway leading down. Just as you are about to investigate further, you hear Thomas and Clayton coming. You round the corner just in time to keep them from seeing the entrance to the secret room. "It's time to fly, Von Witt. I hope your contraption is ready. You have five minutes to get to Glen's Lookout, so you better hurry." Thomas says, escorting you to the door. A moment later Mortamer emerges from the building and they lock the door.

I have no idea why it didn't work right way back then. All you have to do is climb on the contraption and push the green button." Glen's Lookout is bustling with onlookers. Board members are gathered about checking over the entrants. The tall oak tree provides some shade in from the midday sun. Your contraption is sitting here, just waiting to go. Several of the town's folk can't help but to muse over your contraption, and none are old enough to remember Clangor's contraption...and if they are old enough, they just can't remember.

The piranas give chase as the contraption moves through the water like torpedo. Large rocks beneath the waters surface becomes your focal point as they become larger with your approach. With all your might, you lean backward on the machine and it shoots straight up out of the water. The crowd roars with applause and cheers as they watching astonishment. You are barely able to catch your breath as the machine takes you higher and higher. The crowd watches in horror as you disappear from sight, and are never seen again. The good news is that the machine actually flew. The bad news is that your seat on the IOCC board was given to Burton, who also had an entry. Too bad you'll never what it was. Better luck next time.
