World's Most Expensive Dog


A Red Tibetan Mastiff puppy has become the world's most expensive dog after being sold for almost $1 million!!! For a dog!

Tibetan Mastiffs are huge and fierce guard dogs from what I've seen! Experts say they are thought to be one of the world's oldest breeds, and legend has it that both Genghis Khan and Lord Buddha kept them! FAMOUS PEOPLE!!!

The dogs are a pure "Chinese" breed and they are rarely found outside Tibet, giving them a trait that other dogs don't have! I think that has to be the reason they cost so much! The fact that thet they are rarely found outside of Tibet, they are nice, friendly, yet at the same time guard dogs! Like my dog! Minus the Tibet part... could I make 1 million dollars off my lab - chow? Not that I would sell him!

1.8 Microseconds Gone!


According to Space.com and other sources, the massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan was so big, it affected the earth's rotation and also shifted the earth's axis by 4 inches!!! Richard Gross, a NASA employee or geophysicist, if you don't know what that means check the wikipedia page like I did, says the tremor accelerated the earth's spin, shortening its 24-hour day by 1.8 microseconds! Thanks, Japan, now I'm losing sleep!!!! I need all the beauty sleep I can get...

Amazing Photographs!

Dang yo! This man named Alan Sailer creates these epic pictures by blasting food and ornaments with a rifle and capturing the impact on a camera! He built this amazing camera set up in his garage!!! The flash is triggered when the pellet from an air rifle passes through a laser beam. Man, that must have cost a bundle! All I can say is these are amazing photographs! Over three years Alan has photographed thousands of exploding objects from fruit and vegetables to ornaments and make-up. Thousands, people!!! I was thinking about it and I've decided that his style of photography isn't very safe! What if a stray bullet riccochets and hits him!? Ooooh! Talk about sting!

Animal Invasion


Well, it's a good thing floods don't happen in Parauapebas, Brazil every day. Especially floods where the water level rises so high inside homes that when it goes it out it leaves... little presents behind. That's what this mom discovered when, the day after a devastating flood, she went to clean up her house. That's when she found her kid playing with something behind the couch. Being a good mom, I assume, she went to see what it was. But it wasn't a toy... it turned out to be an alligator!!! The amazing thing was the boy was petting this 5 foot long alligator! She immediately grabbed her son away and ran to call firefighters. Boy, that mom was lucky this reptile wasn't in the mood for a meal! If he was hungry, he could have eaten the little boy! Easily! Thankfully, firefighters trapped the alligator and took it to a nearby environmental preserve where they set it free.

Indian Man With 39 Wives!


A 66-year-old man in has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren, all living under one roof! I can't imagine that! I get annoyed when more then 10 people get in my house! I mean 181 people?! Sheesh! They all live in a four storied building with 100 rooms! That's amazing!

The man, Ziona Chana said, "I once married 10 women in one year."

His wives share a dormitory near his private bedroom and locals said he likes to have seven or eight of them by his side at all times. This man's a playa! I wonder if he even remembers all their names! The sons and their wives and all their children live in different rooms in the same building, but share a common kitchen.

The only thing I wouldn't be able to put up with if I lived with this man is the LABOR! The wives take turns cooking, while his daughters clean the house and do washing. The men do OUTDOOR jobs like farming and taking care of livestock. Phew! I don't know if I could do that! I get tired when I walk to school! Much less do farming and taking care of animals! Well Ziona, I wish you the best taking care of your GROWING family!

Super Bowl... ads!


Okay, so yes I admit it, I'm watching the Superbowl. The thing is I don't know if I'm watching it because I like football! I think it's because I like the Super Bowl ads! They are sooo funny! I love them! My favorite would have to be this one. I don't know why I like the Super Bowl ads so much! I think it's because they have to be extra entertaining because so many people will be watching the Super Bowl! I wonder how many other people watch the Super Bowl for the ads...

SnowCastle!!!

So there is this cartoon-themed SnowCastle which is the biggest snow fort in the world and is rebuilt each winter... It's really amazing and I would love to stay there! I hope it's still going to be built in about 10 years! It looks amazing!

I can just picture myself sleeping in there... A whole "CASTLE" made of snow! It'll be just like the movies! The thing is, I like cartoons and there are cartoons everywhere in this fort! If I go there when I am older, I'll remember all the good times I had as a kid! In some of the pictures they have Spongebob, Manny from Ice Age, Garfield, The Simpons, Spiderman and so much more! This thing has to be expensive though... and to think that it just melts when Winter ends, all that hard work and awesomeness gone for another 3 seasons... I really sincerely do hope I visit the Snow Castle one day!
