SPACE TRIP

Huge companies are now
trying to get onto the moon. Not
to build some giant headquarters
or something on the moon, but
for prize money.
The prize is apparently
thirty million dollars,
supplied by Google. These
companies don’t need NASA,
they hired there own
million-dollar-demanding
geniuses. The reward money
is given out in sections,
so it’s like: one million
dollars if you launch some
type of flying object. The
companies don’t really care
about the money, the calculations
and requirements to make the
flying object would cost the
amount of money awarded, if not
more. So why the giant corporations
want this would only be one thing:
publicity.


Monkeys Like Silence…….and Metallica

Usually, animals hate music.
Monkeys DESPISE human music. Like
REALLY HATE IT. For proof, the
national symphony orchestra played
for the monkeys and the monkeys went
CRAZY. Some music even makes monkeys
scared. When monkeys hear human music,
they get all jittery and freak out,
but that has changed. A group of monkeys
in Wisconsin were tested to music by a
band called “Metallica”, and were calmed
and tranquil. Surprised, the scientists
studied human music. The outcome they came
with was against their surprising find.
Human instruments to animals and other
creatures are like listening to nails on
a chalkboard. The Wisconsin scientists
found that if they could get the right
music, or compose a perfect monkey song,
they could influence the monkeys, and
maybe even train them. Also, the
reaction was similar to babies in long
1 note tones. So if you hate Metallica,
don’t scream that you hate it around any monkeys.

OLDEST ANCESTOR OF HUMANS FOUND

Recently, some non-special
group of scientists found an ordinary
fossil. Nothing big. But as the fossil
was studied more and more, it turned
out to look like a chimp. Still,
nothing big. But then it started to
look like a human, so the Californian
scientists really started to get confused.
The fossil actually turned out to be a
pre-evolved human. A REALLY PRE-EVOLVED
HUMAN. A 4.4 million pre-evolved human.
Really old. The creature, called ‘ardi’,
could have been the last related humanoid
to the chimpanzee. Of course, the
scientists, having no cheery or creative
side, call the fossil a normal human and
move on.
