Spokeo
Do you feel safe? Do you feel that your family’s information is safe? You’re wrong. A new website called “Spokeo.com” can tell you everything about anyone over 18. If you look up your parent’s name, it can tell you your house value, your neighborhood quality, if you own a pool, the ethnicity of the neighborhood, if you have central heating, central air conditioning, a description of your house, if you have a fireplace, your home value, your age, your ethnicity, occupation, even hobbies, your residence, gender, zodiac, if you have children, your education, if you own a home, how long you have been living in the home, and A LOT MORE. This is what we call creepy. You can try it; just type your parents name in the search box. Complaints have been said that this site invades their privacy, and has been sued numerous times. The site has been shut down plenty of times, but it is still running. Whether the site should be shut down permanently or not is still being considered.

Poopy Power
A single cow can produce 120 POUNDS “poop” a day. That’s more than an average 6th grader (not poop, the poop weighs more) . The EPA says of 1998 cows make 54 BILLION pounds of manure each year. Now imagine that 54 billion pounds of poop turning into 54 billion pounds of fuel. Annually. But there is a down side. To make the poop into fuel, the man with the poop would have to pay $5,000,000 to get a machine to do that, and pay $30,000 annually just to keep it up and running. The energy is also not as efficient. It would take 10,000 cows to keep a computer running. That’s 1,200,000 pounds of poop to power ONE SINGLE COMPUTER. Also, the cow poop is bad for the environment. 21 times worse than normal gasoline. So let’s see this in the future. Every family has a power cow. Or two. Or three. Or four or five. Or six. Or seven. Whatever the number one of those cows is pooping over 26 gallons of methane into the atmosphere. And it wouldn’t just be one cow pooping that methane. Remember how it takes 1,200,000 pounds of poop to power a computer? One cow can’t produce 1,200,000 pounds of poop in a day. Unless its got some weird laxatives to produce that 10,000 cow, 1,200,000 amount of poop. So the pollution would be catastrophic, and the energy would be scarce. So unless this idea of poopy power can advance, it’s a stupid idea right now.

Deadly Hand Sanitizer
Hand Sanitizer. Everyone uses it, but that might not necessarily be a good thing. Recently studies involving hand sanitizer showed shocking results. In hand sanitizer there is a chemical called “triclosan” which can disrupt hormones, mess with reproductive organs, and even create cancer. The highly polluted Minnesota Lake has traces of triclosan, and the cause might even be hand sanitizer. Triclosan got patented in 1965, when it turned up to kill bacteria. Doctors used it to kill bacteria, even today. Triclosan is in pretty much everything we use today that involves cleaning or killing bacteria. Triclosan is almost contagious. Americans clothes have it. Americans urine has it. Even American breast milk has triclosan in it. Triclosan is in children’s toys, even food storage containers. Everyone has digested triclosan, worn triclosan, drank triclosan, and breathed triclosan. It’s everywhere, in everything, and deadly. But not yet, the levels of triclosan are so incredibly low that they are harmless. But at the rate it’s increasing, the chemical will do harm in about 20 years.

SPACE DIVERS
Think of an extreme sport. What comes to mind? Skyscraper running? Fire Breathing? Now think of an extreme-extreme sport. How about: Space Diving?
An Austrian skydiver named Felix Baumgartner is jumping 120,000 feet above Earth. About 4 times as high an airplane goes. At that height, jumping off a plane, or in this case a shuttle, is a little more complicated than regular skydiving. He would need oxygen, and basically a spacesuit, and he needs more than just any space suit to do that; exactly why the David Clark manufacturing company created a special pressurized, temperature controlled, oxygenated suit to do the job. This suit is tough. Extremely-extremely tough.It has to face incredibly cold temperatures, extremely hot temperatures, keep the visor defogged, and go past the speed of sound. The jump is said to be attempted in summer.

The Right Way To Use Tissue Paper
Let’s say you’re walking down the street on a nice warm perfect day. Everything is going well…until you get shot. But your Life Alert is out of power and your cell phone is too. Now there’s a product that can stop all of those events from happening. A new type of fabric similar to tissue paper, is as strong as Kevlar, and has solar capabilities, so you won’t die from getting shot, you can call the police and use your life alert, and catch the criminal. The fabrics name is germanium. Germanium is like compressed paper, which tissue paper does too to make it softer. Germanium is a more highly compressed version of tissue paper, making it bulletproof. This bullet resistant armor is also more flexible than Kevlar, and lighter too. The germanium is fused with silicon, and the light that the human eye can visibly see, the germanium sees too. Kinda sees. It absorbs, and turns the sunlight into power. Solar panels are 35% stronger than germanium and silicon, but it’s still enough power to power all the tools on the average soldier. This is a breakthrough in the soldier’s defense arsenal.

Computers Purify Water
A new computer chip has been proven to clean and refresh water. Like a computer, it has a magnetic field, but this magnet attracts bacteria and other fatal substances, and killing them. The chip is so small and transportable that it can practically be brought and put anywhere. The purifier is the size of a postage stamp, and when waterproof, clear and see-through. The purifier can purify a swimming pool as fast as a Brita filter can filter a few cups of water. When the computer chip was tested in North Atlantic sea waters and 99 percent of the bacteria and contaminants in the water were killed and removed. This chip might be the solution to all the dirty water in the world, stopping global thirst, but to do that, the chips would have to be mass produced, and these aren’t expensive, but it still costs money. The chip can also remove clogs in water systems, such as waste pipes.

War Peppers
India’s military is using a new type of weapon. Not a bomb, not explosives, but a simple vegetable: the pepper. Not just any pepper though, the “bhut jolokia”, the hottest pepper in the history of anything. The pepper is so strong it can paralyze a target, and can be used as tear gas. The pepper is extremely similar to a grenade, you can burn it, and anyone that breathes the smokes lungs, mouth, flesh and anything else that comes into contact will burn, you can squirt the juice into the victim, burning them and having a chance of putting them into shock and paralyzing them. This pepper is extremely hot. Scoville units, the unit used to measure spice are used for this as well. Tabasco sauce, one of the hottest sauces known to man, something that burns and makes you cry just with a drop. Tabasco has 2,500-5,000 Scoville units. The bhut jolokia has 1,000,000 Scoville units. 1,000,000. That’s about 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The pepper can be used just like any other gas or poison, if targets are holed into a cave or building, throw a burning one of these and that’s it. This pepper might even change the strategy of breaching a building altogether.

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE
Well, kind of. But it’s recently been proven that controlled, specific fires can reduce greenhouse gasses. This technique reduces carbon dioxide by 18 to 25 percent and in some forests, it can burn and get rid of 60 percent of the carbon dioxide in that area. Now this makes you think: how on earth did they discover this? Well, satellite images showed decreasing carbon dioxide in controlled fire areas. These fires also help plant new forests, making a new healthier planet, and the decreased carbon dioxide levels decrease the chances of forest fires. This research caused controversy, because some scientists say this proves global warming is caused by us, because we burn fuel and not wood, explaining why the middle ages were much colder than present earth, because we industrially and mass burn oil and fossil fuels. Other scientists just say that climate change exists and this means nothing. On the lighter side, the government could save 1.2 billion dollars on trying to stop fires, which they would no longer need to do. This technique is still being research if it can be mass done.

Zombies?
New studies show that cryonically frozen corpses ay have a chance of coming back to life. The scientists think they can achieve this with “nano-robots.” Nano-robots? Some scientists think this is just fake and imagination but scientists at the Alcor Life Foundation think otherwise. They think that they can clone a cell from the corpse and make a robotic clone from that cloned cell. Cloning a clone sounds ridiculous, but you won’t be laughing when Walt Disney is writing the next Pixar movie. You might be thinking that you can come back to life when you’re dead, but think again. It costs $80,000 to freeze just your head alone, and thousands more to freeze your entire corpse. The process of the resurrection would be
1. Take Body Out Of Cryo
2. Install “Nanobots”
3. Wait for body to thaw
4. Let “Nanobots” fix and replace deteriorated cells, tissue and brain
5. Hope it works
If the process succeeds as planned, the resurrected person would live longer and healthier than the past life, now that’s what I call a good afterlife. This technology is expected to be tested around 2050 at the least, and use hundreds of millions of dollars. Want to know where your taxes are going? Well there’s your answer.

Man Goes Cross Country with Elvis Passport
Do you think that after the Christmas Bomber that the Amsterdam Airport would be safe and secure? You’re wrong. A man got through with an Elvis Presley passport. It was an E-passport, but it still was Elvis Presley. Adam Laurie, the man in charge of the security says it was a ‘test’ but with the low security ratings and criticism about it, no one can be sure. The passport did pass through the automated passport machines. Amsterdam Airport wanted to make their airport high tech and iconic, but ever since this ‘upgrade’ security seems to of gone way down. This Elvis passport shows that anyone can hack an e-passport, and that asks the question, “is this e-passport necessary?” The Elvis Passport case is still under investigation.

New Ketchup Product Revealed---Tomatoes Revolt!
The new product: Ketch-A-Hoy, is a new ketchup product that uses twice as many tomatoes as regular ketchup. Now, tomatoes are terrified, running away, even fighting back. Bobby Bobs, was the most recent victim of this attack. “They nibbled my arm off, and ate my toes.” He says.
Inst-ant Jello, the another victim says “They stole my dog, and they ate my bladder.” The tomato leader, Joe Heinz, says “These people have no right to slaughter us vegetables, and we won’t take this. We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them on the landing grounds, AND in the fields. We will NEVER surrender!” Joe Heinz is currently being sued by Winston Churchill for that speech. But that sue-worthy speech did inspire the tomatoes to fight humans on the beaches, landing grounds and fields. Darth Vader was inspired by these tomatoes. “I think *wooshy breath* that the *wooshy breath* tomatoes deserve a better *wooshy breath* lifestyle than being *wooshy breath*slaughtered by ketchup.” Currently, the tomatoes are still in revolt, and tomato hunters are still mysteriously disappearing. Joe Heinz is still in court.

Donkey’s Shrinking!
As of February, donkeys have been losing considerable body weight and size. These effects have been occurring all over the planet, to all donkeys of all types, colors, shapes, and sizes. Travel and trade in the middle-east has been rapidly declining, due to the donkey’s smaller sizes and less strength. Caravans have stopped, and water supply is dying out in the dryer areas. The middle-east is suffering the most from this odd event, due to their main source of transport being a donkey. Dr. Austin Austin thinks that this is ‘shrinkage’ is good. “Death’s from donkeys in the middle-east are declining,” he says. “It’s more dangerous to die riding a donkey then flying on a plane. Maybe this donkey decline is to our advantage.” Dr. Jone Jones disagrees.
“I think donkeys are an essential part to the economy, Maybe not to us for now, but if the middle east declines, we will go to help. People will be dying, and they’ll need our support. And if we don’t support, we’ll have a lot of trouble.” That was the last we heard of both the doctors, they might of died riding their donkeys back home.
Also in the Middle East, the larger, more able donkeys are being stolen, considering their capabilities of actually moving stuff. Many donkeys are in quarantine for research, and the results are astounding. Apparently, donkeys are being mutated into “Baby Donkeys.” The same incidents happened to baby carrots, baby corn, and smurfs. The cause of this is still under investigation.

Potato Brutally Attacked
Nelson Hernandez, a normal 8th grader, went half insane and took his anger out on a normal, average spud. French Fry, the neighbor of this potato heard the sounds. “It was like listening to a deep fryer at McDonalds,” he said.
“I’ve never heard something pounded and fried as loud as that.” It all happened late Sunday morning when Nelson was taking a walk in the park, and he saw Brent Hall, and got extremely angry. He went to the nearest Spud-hood, and broke into the closest house. Apparently, he went into the kitchen, and stole all the butter he could take. Before he left the house, one of the potatoes spotted him. He quickly beat the potato with one of the sticks of butter, knocking it unconscious. He then threw it in the deep fryer and left. Luckily, about 2 minutes later, Big Daddy Spud saw him, and broke into the house, and got the potato out of the fryer. The potato is in hospital currently, and things aren’t looking too good. “He’s got greased,” Dr.Potato-Salad says. “If he makes it, he’ll be greasy the rest of his life.” When we heard this, we decided to ask people in the neighborhood if he will make it. The first potato we asked was SpudMan. He said, “Oh Yeah! Of course he’ll make it. As long as he drinks Spud Lite, he’ll be INCREDIBLE!” The next spud was Mrs.SpudderWorths. “As long as he stays sweet, he’ll be fine. Extra thick too!” After the interviews, we wanted to see the situation with Nelson Hernandez, global threat to potato safety. We went to the local, farm-fresh prison. Nelson was there, in his cell. We were able to go in there and interview him. “Why’d you do it?” we asked.
“When I see Brent’s face, it makes me hungry…….for butter.” That’s all we needed. Nelson Hernandez has eaten 20 pounds of butter every day ever since he’s been imprisoned. He had a heart attack. He is now dead.

CYBER TERRORISM
Apparently in Iran, there is a “Cyber Army” taking out large sites to create terror. In December, if you noticed twitter being offline, these terrorists caused that. Now in China, Baidu, China’s largest search engine was shut down for 4 hours Tuesday. These hackers have also hit Facebook, MySpace, and have threatened Google. These hackers haven’t been tracked, and the only thing known about them is that they are in Iran and are terrorists. Baidu is larger then Google in terms of visits-a-day, probably because China has about 3x as many people than America, and Google isn’t often used if used at all in China. These terrorists are regarded as a threat and have not been found.

Cell Phones Protect From Alzheimer’s
Over the years scientists have been pounding the “Cell Phone” for years- brain tumors, radiation all that stuff. But finally, something positive about cell phones: they can prevent Alzheimer’s. Florida scientists tested this on mice with successful results. The mice were on the phone for 2 hours a day for 7-9 months-which isn’t hard for a teenager. As the mice aged their memory remained intact while the non-cell-phoned mice were starting to get dementia. But humans are different from mice, so humans might need even 2 hours a day for years. Rebecca Wood, one of the scientists involved in the project says “We don't recommend spending 24 hours a day on a mobile phone – “We don't know the long-term effects, and bills could go through the roof.” The mice digestion was normal and had no side effects and the scientists predict the same for humans. The scientists don’t know yet if cell phones can remove Alzheimer’s, but for now, they know they can remove it.

Rebecca Wood, one of the scientists involved in the project says “We don't recommend spending 24 hours a day on a mobile phone – “We don't know the long-term effects, and bills could go through the roof.” The mice digestion was normal and had no side effects and the scientists predict the same for humans. The scientists don’t know yet if cell phones can remove Alzheimer’s, but for now, they know they can remove it.
