Re-Inventing the Blog

I've been thinking, and I have come to a decision. I am going to recreate my blog. Nobody cares about anything that is even related to GDP or what's falling in the stock market or whatever. Just stuff that is amazingly cool or funny or something. And now, change!

Canada's New Law

Canada has recently made a new rule, involving marriage. In Canada, you can go to a level of relationship. At this level, you get all the benefits of being married, but can walk out anytime, and owe nothing. In a normal marriage, if you break up you have to split half of everything you own with your ex. But this week a Canadian billionaire broke up with this woman that had this type of relationship. The Supreme Court of Canada said that the woman should get half of everything. This then cause a new law, which will affect a third of all Canadians dating.

Spelling 6 Year Old

Lori Anne Madison is the youngest person to ever be on the Scripps National Spelling Bee. At 6 years old, she handles the paparazzi better than most people do. " I ask for no interviews, but the media seems to be disobeying me." she said to a reporter. Her favorite word is " sprachgefühl." I think it's Russian or something.

So, what's your favorite word that's NOT english? Comment.

Venus Crossed over The Sun

Today at about 5 pm Venus began to cross over the Sun. This is a very rare event, and only happens every 105 years. It will still cross over until 8:15 tonight. But you need to wear special glasses to see it safely.

What would you like to see every 105 years? Comment.

Man Kills Boy 33 Years Ago

Pedro Hernandez, 51, told police last week that he had killed a 6 year old boy 33 years ago. Ethan Patz, who would have been 39 now, was trick into a garage with a can of soda. Pedro then strangled him to death, put him in a bag, and put Ethan in a garbage can.

Records show that Pedro didn't lived in New York for decades later, where the murder took place. Also, his defense lawyer says that Pedro is mentally ill, and doesn't know what he's talking about.

So, why now? Why wait 33 years, knowing you killed somebody, and then just decide to admit to a crime they when you weren't even a suspect? Gilt, maybe.

What would you wait 33 years to tell? Comment.

Bullying: Bad for your DNA

Everyone knows bullying isn't good thing. But can calling someone ugly give them cancer?

Not really, but it can cause diseases that normally wouldn't happen.

A recent study from Duke found that children who had been bullied allot also developed a shortening of their chromazones, or DNA. This can and will cause DNA-related diseases, and/or a shorter life.

I guess sticks and stones will break my bones, and words can really hurt me.

So what do you think should shorten someones life ( that we don't already know about). Comment.

50 Words or Less: The Syria Massacre

This a new idea of ours. Every week, we will take a major world event and shrink it down to 50 words or less. And... Begin!

So in Houla, a town in Syria, 108 people where killed. Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria, says it was terrorists. But people from the U.N. say it was the government. This was mostly because people in Syria wants better human rights, but the government just shoots back.

Why Your Phone is Untrustworthy

Almost everyone has a phone( except me) and it's your social life in a box. You have all of your friend's numbers, texts, pics and other personal stuff in there. But what if the government could just access it? Well, they can.

Most cellphone carriers have places where they store everything their customer has ever done on there phone. And the government, for a fee, can access those places. The average rate is about $500 a text or pic and about $1000 a call.

So is it illegal? Yes and no.

Yes it normally is illegal for phone companies to sell your information. It's in the contract you signed. But also in the contract it mentions a law, a law that says that the police or any other government official can access it if they have enough proof to say they need to see your stuff. But this is a pretty stupid rule, because phone companies will let just about anything pass for " proof".

So is there anything you can do? Not really, as long as you don't do anything dumb.

What else is untrustworthy in your life? Comment.

The Start of Something Great

The Start of Something Great

Most great things start out small. Apple was just 2 guys in a garage. Virgin Mobile & Virgin Airlines started with a guy who probably would have never been heard of, if he didn't become a multi-billionare. And Mark Zuckerburg would just be some guy who got revenge on his ex-girlfriend by publicly humiliating her. Well, he is that guy, but that's not the point.

And, he's married now, so its all good.

But what I'm trying to say is that almost all amazing things started out small. Unless you count Virgin Mobile & Airlines( who names a company virgin?), but that's besides the the point. What the point is is that here comes the start of something great. Right... Now.

What do you want to start? Comment.
