Summer just got a whole lot more fun with Tube Runner, a motorized pool tube that let's you steer with a joystick.

Pool Candy, the masterminds behind the motorized inflatable lounger, are now selling motorized tubes and describe the products as a way of "revolutionizing the way you play in the pool."

"Tube Runner is a motorized pool tube that features a 3-Blade Propeller that will move you effortlessly through the water," the website listing explains. "Great to cruise around any pool or lake! Complete freedom of movement with 360 degrees of control that allows you to move forward, reverse or even to spin in a circle all at the touch of a button!".

The tube features a 66-watt motor that activates at the touch of a button, enabling riders to spin and turn in every direction and we honestly couldn't think of a better way to waste away those upcoming summer days in the pool, lake, river or beach!

Do you remember taking two cans and a string to make a telephone to talk to your friend through.

The classic "two cans and a string" technique works based on making sure the string is tight between the two cups. This normally means that the distance is fairly limited and the two people have to be connected to each other by a straight line.

When one person talks into their can, the bottom of the can vibrates with the sound waves. The vibrations then travel along the string to the other can vibrating and producing sound waves. The second person can hear the sound waves and can therefore hear what the first person says.

Well, one TikToker has taken it a step further and used a similar device to talk to bees. Yes, the honey-producing stingers actually talk and they kind of sound like the Minions from "Despicable Me"

Now, all we have to do is learn the language. What do you think they are saying?

We need to get this guy on board to translate.

Australia's 472-strong team for the Tokyo Olympics features a record number of women and Indigenous athletes. 

The team for the Games starting on July 23 includes 254 women and 218 men, with 16 Indigenous athletes.

The number of female athletes is 40 more than the nation's previous most at a Games, at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

And the 16 Indigenous athletes is four more than at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Australia's team is the second-largest to contest an away Olympics, 10 shy of the 482 athletes who contested the 2004 Athens Games.

Australians will compete in 33 sports in Tokyo including all four new Olympic sports of karate, skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing.

At the Rio Games, Australia won eight gold, 11 silver and 10 bronze medals but the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has stopped publicly setting a medal target for the Games.

"The AOC has talked about not setting medal targets and placing unhelpful expectations on these athletes," Australia's chef de mission Ian Chesterman said in a statement on Monday.

"Given the events of the past 18 months, this has been the correct path, getting to the start line has been so difficult.

"They don't need pressure from us."

Equestrian veteran Andrew Hoy will contest his eighth Olympics, a record for an Australian.

And fellow equestrian stalwart Mary Hanna and table tennis' Jian Fang Lay will compete at their sixth Games, a record for an Australian female.

Cyclist Cameron Meyer withdrew from the team for personal reasons at the weekend, when two changes were made to Australia's men's soccer team with Marco Tilio and Jay Rich-Baghuelou replacing Ramy Najjarine and Ruon Tongyik.
