In The News
Welcome to another edition of In The News. Put that Christmas list down for a second, get yourself a cup of coffee sit down and read In The News and don’t forget to tell your friends about it.
- Did you read about the $9000 dollar video game? It seems that after getting his son the hard to get Guitar Hero 3 for the Nintendo Wii for Christmas for $90 dollars a father sold the game on eBay for $9010 dollars. The reason he sold the game was because he found his son smoking pot with two of his friends in the backyard to punish him and discourage him from smoking dope. Sounds like somebody was real naughty.
- Did you read about the Magna Carta? It seems that a 710 year old copy of the declaration of human rights sold for $21.3 million at auction. The buyer David Rubenstein of The Carlyle Group, a private equity firm. It is one of 17 known copies of the historic paper, it bears the seal of King Edward I and dated 1297. I was going to big on it but I was too busy working on that blog I told you about.
- Did you read about the perfect poison for fleas? It seems that a vacuum cleaner kills fleas just as well as any poison. Surprised U.S. researchers said that a vacuum cleaner kills 96% of adult fleas and 100% of young ones. Glen Needham, associate professor of entomology at Ohio State University said “We didn’t do a post-mortem, so we don’t know for sure. But it appears that the physical abuse they took caused them to perish.” Good to know.
