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.

PLANE FINDERS

PLANE FINDERS

On June 1, a French passenger
plane went missing, over the
Atlantic Ocean, going from
Brazil to Paris. After a few
hours of being airborne, the
plane disappeared, with its
228 passengers. Recently,
there have been searches for
the plane, but only a seat
and oil have been found. Around
the time the plane crashed, there
were strong winds, which may have
caused the crash. If the plane is
recovered, the search parties will
search for a recorded message; to
maybe find an alternate cause for the mysterious plane crash.

New York Bombers! (NOT a new baseball team)

In New York, New York, May 20,
four men were accused of planting
what looked like bombs in New York
synagogues. They were reported right
away since New Yorkers have been extremely
alert since 9/11. The four are charged with
conspiracy to use WMD’s (weapons of mass
destruction). Three of the bombers were
from the United States, but one was from
Haiti. The bombers plan was to put C-4
(explosive stuff) into cars outside of
synagogues and detonate them. The cars
had 30 pounds of C-4. Another words A LOT
OF EXPLOSIVE STUFF.

WALL-E

Wall-E

Well, first, I’m not much of a children’s movie-lover. I can deal with them. I got dragged to see this movie with my little brother. So, I got some popcorn and a drink and sat down in the theater. Ok, it starts out with some trash everywhere. Yeah, kind of interesting. The next 25 minutes or so, it’s about A ROBOT PICKING UP TRASH! Now what is that?! 25 minutes of my life about some robot that makes annoying sounds picking up trash! After 25 minutes or so, something different happens! Another robot comes. Wow. Exciting. After that wall-e LOVES the robot, making the worst romance ever. And its that romance stuff for the next 30 minutes. After that, some evil ship robot tries to keep them everyone away from earth. Wall-e saves the day, and they go back to earth. Well, sorry, I just spoiled the entire movie.

$270,000,000 Spent on an EXPLOSION

The NASA spacecraft “CO2 Hunter” was going to find the largest source of carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, it had a malfunction and crashed over the Atlantic Ocean. NASA said the problem was the weight distribution. The “Hunter” was similar to the Taurus XL. The Taurus XL accomplished 8 flights and was successful. The Taurus was launched in 1994 and cost $270,000,000. The U.S. space agency is putting together a “Mishap investigation board” to find the cause for the crash of the Hunter.
NASA knows that the Hunter didn’t crash in sight because there were hundreds of onlookers watching it launch. The Hunter will be tried again, but once NASA recovers from the first mishap.
