Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

In Norway, Everyone Is A (Paper) Millionaire - Kids News Article

I recently read an article about Norway and how everyone became millionaires. They became millionaires when in 1969 Norway struck oil and all the money they stuck in a fund called Government Pension Fund - Global. This fund set the money aside for all their future residents and on January 9th everyone in Norway became millionaires. Norway invested in about 1% of the world's stocks, bonds and real estate from London all the way over to Boston. The author calls these people 'paper' millionaires. He does this because they have $828.66 billion on just paper alone. Well why don't we get a fund like that? Our country doesn't have a fund like this because our national debt has soared to 17 trillion dollars! We don't have any money to invest.

Crazy Waterslide Just Might Leave You Speechless

Kansas City's Verrückt Water Slide Is Insane (Literally)! - Kids News Article



 

I just read an article about a water slide located in Kansas City, Missouri. The 17 story tall slide is called Verrückt. What is Verrückt you ask? Verrückt means 'insane' in German. So this water is literally insane. Brazil has one similar to the one in Kansas City but this one is about three stories taller than Brazil's. The co-owner of Schlitterbahn Water Park is Jeff Henry, AKA 'Wizard of Water'. He got the nickname when he started to created crazy designs for the park. I would love to go on this ride because of the thrill it would give you. You're dropping about 17 stories. Who wouldn't get just a little thrill?

Mini Windmills

I just read an article about these super cute little windmills. They are so small that ten of them can fit on a single grain of rice and their widest point is 1.8 mm. The creator of them has not yet said how powerful they are but he thinks that a few thousand of these things can power the lighting system in a single family home. The creator also says that the windmills could charge your phone. Although it might not even last an hour long chat but it could save a persons life if they are in need of help. They are still deciding whether they should bring these to the market or not. Just think one day our phones might get charged by these super cute little windmills.

Veteran's Day

picture from here

I do agree that kids should get educated about Veteran's day, but I also think kids should have no school that day to show respect to Veteran's. They have many events going around on Veteran's day that kids can go to that will teach them about that day,so I'm sure kids will still get education about Veteran's day without going to school for that day.Then again teachers can always teach about Veteran's day before it or after it, so kids get education about that day either way.

Pandas

Some people want pandas just to die out, because they are a big coast. Also because they think there a lazy animal . Some people predict pandas don't even wanna survive. I think pandas should not just die out,because they are a large species.

Dear Mr. Wilde
Hi There, I'm Tina the health inspector. I've heard some complaints about your McDonald's that is located in Festus,Mo. I've been hearing there have been some ant problems on the booths by the windows. No we both know that's gonna drive the customers because they don't want bugs by there food when they eat or perhaps on it. One ant can lead to 1,000 more of them. They could start travailing to the kitchen and getting in the food, so you may be serving ants with peoples food and not even knowing. I know I sure don't want to be eating some small little insect that walks on the dirty ground and could give me a daises. If I were you I'd start thinking about calling a exterminator to get ride of those ants, before you start getting ride of them customers. If you have any problems of have any questions please contact me with this number (636) 535-2131. Thank you, have a good day.

Sincerely yours,
Tina Gonzales
