The Dollar Bill

Money, money, money. One thing in the world I love truly! Only recently have I and others found out there may be more meaning to a dollar bill then just a slip of paper with ink on it. I have found out that in the corner next to the 1 is either a hidden owl or a hidden spider! Amazing, isn't it?!

Also, money isn't just made of paper, it's made of cotton and linen, which is why it doesn't fall apart in the wash like paper. If you look closely on the face you can see red and blue lines that looks like lint but doesn't scratch off!

Let's not forget on the face of a dollar, what does the letter inside the circular seal mean? I didn't know this for a while but the black seal with the big letter in the middle signifies the Federal Reserve bank that placed the order for the bill. A = Boston, B = New York City, C = Philadelphia, D = Cleveland, E = Richmond, Va., F = Atlanta, G = Chicago, H = St. Louis, I = Minneapolis, J = Kansas City, K = Dallas. Interesting huh?! The dollar bill is more than just paper and ink. It looks more like a proud motto of our America!

The Aptly Named iPad


The iPad. A wonderful invention and a wonderful name. Never mind that it sounds like the name of a feminine hygiene product. It fits into the Apple family of names, like its famous predecessor, iPod.

Unfortunately the name cannot be used. An invention in Japan has been named the iPad, and they have a problem with Apple using their name. Japan's Fujitsu says it launched their product one year ago. The name has also been used for small engines.

Well, I don't care. I know for a fact I'm definitely getting an iPad. I mean who wouldn't want one?! It's like an iPhone and a MacBook combined and put on steroids! (Except it can't make phone calls or take pictures, and it has a teeny-tiny memory!) I just hope they get to keep the name because I think it's kind of cool.

LeBron James is a baby!!


Little baby LeBron James needs his baby bottle. The first quarter of a game against the Wolves, LeBron James kicks Gatorade cups and a water cooler into the crowd because he got a technical foul and got benched. I mean, what a baby! He's just lucky the ref's didn't see because sending anything into the stands is strictly against NBA rules! Although the ref didn't see him, the vice president of basketball operations slapped him across the face with a $25,000 fine! Looks like the little baby just got served in his own game!

Obesity...

If you are so fat that you can kill your boyfriend by sitting on him, then there is something wrong with you. This girl sat on her 120 pound boyfriend and killed him! then she walked away free with only 4 days of community service and 3 years of probation. That's just wrong. Obese people, I advise you now, don't sit on your boyfriend when he's three times smaller than you. Ouch.

4 Foods That Make You Look Younger

Foods can really make you look younger? That was my first question when I heard about this. It turns out they're four foods that can make you look younger.
The first one is sweet potato fries. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of Beta-Carotene, an organic compound and classified as a terpenoid. Your body converts Beta-Carotene to vitamin A, a nutrient that helps to continually generate new, healthy skin cells.
The second one is Balsamic Carrots. These, like sweet potatos, have a generous amount of beta-carotene that helps the skin. I know I'm going to be eating my sweet potato fries and balsamic carrots when I'm old and I'll still look young and hip!
The third one is spinach marinara. Sounds nasty! But apparently it has a triple dose of wrinkle fighting oxidants. It has Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene all which fight to keep you looking like me. Good with sexy skin!
The last food that makes you look younger is toasted pecans! Yum, yum! I eat those already! Maybe that's why I look so young and cute! My doggy likes them too, but he likes anything that's food!
So now I know what food I'll be eating when I'm old and I am going to look so good I'll be as hot as the sun, as wet as the ocean, as dry as the desert and cold as ice.

World's Biggest Machine!!


The Bagger 288. The world's biggest machine! This machine is in Germany and is used in a coal stripmine. This thing weighs almost as much as my 3rd grade teacher at an amazing 45,000 TONS! It moves almost as slow as my 3rd grade teacher as well at 2 sluggish meters per minute, but it'll move that rubble as fast as Usain Bolt can run! It can dig up to 240,000 cubic meters of dirt a day although my dog does more! Also, it ran over a 60 ton bulldozer! How do you miss a bulldozer standing right in front of you?! I also want to know why they need a machine that big, but experts apparently say its so they can strip mine coal out of the ground, transport it hundreds of miles on massive trains, and take it to power stations where they burn it to make electricity. That's a pretty coal invention if you know what I'm saying!

Best Movie Ever?


James Cameron is about to beat himself at the box office! Avatar is getting ready to break the all-time box office record, passing the current number 1, another James Cameron creation, Titanic. My mom always says, "Money doesn't grow on trees." but for James Cameron it's oozing out of everywhere on his body and clothes! Avatar has 1.838 billion where the Titanic has 1.843! Avatar's gonna pass it soon alright because Titanic took 56 years to make that amount of money and Avatar only took 3 weeks! I have to admit this movie was great and he took enough time out of his life to make it, so he deserves all of that moola he has now! I can't wait for those new 3-D TV's to come out. I know I'll be watchin' Avatar all day! And for all those people that are sad that they can't go into the world of Avatar... maybe one day we'll evolve into giant blue people and have our world destroyed. Don't worry, keep dreamin'!
