SCIENTIST DISCOVERS ULTIMATE SECRET IN FORTUNE COOKIE

Breaking news to report to you today folks. Dr. Hull, of the Institution of Space Robotics, has just announced the discovery of a secret which could change the face of history forever! Dr. Hull speculates that he has unlocked the elusive formula that would aid scientists to break through the heat barrier and explore the sun! I am here now with the man of the hour Dr. Hull, how did you make such a discovery? 
   
 Dr. Hull: 
"Well you see it was just like every other Thursday afternoon for me a my colleges. After the morning was spent playing xbox we decided to reward ourselves, beating a high score in Halo 3 isn't easy you know. We took a walk around the corner to a quaint little Chinese eatery. Like always I order the beef and broccoli with chicken balls, a personal favorite of mine I might add. A short time later we were done our lunch and headed back to the lab, of course to settle down and play more Halo. Upon returning to the lab we decided to first read our fortune cookies.. A little fun before the grueling work ahead. Inside my fortune cookie was just two words... Use water. My colleges and I were at a lost as to what it meant. We racked our brain for hours! For surely these two words must mean something extraordinary! We spent all night thinking it over and over until it finally came to me! We had been examining how to land on the sun just last week, we had decided it was impossible but could we have been wrong? Could some divine being have intervened and shown us the way? We thought it probable and therefore set to work on the calculations. After this I am pleased to announce that in three days NASA will be sending myself up in a space craft to attempt the first landing on the sun! 

 There you have it folks! One of the worlds greatest secrets cracked wide open like a chocolate egg at Easter. Right here in Florida using nothing but the great minds of these few scientists and a fortune cookie. God Bless America! Good night!

Book Review

The Hunger Games:
  The Capital is in control, districts are starving and its reaping day. As punishment for a rebellion, against the capital, the districts must put one boy and one girl, between the ages of 12 and 18, to fight to the death in a game known as the Hunger Games. We are introduced to Katniss, a girl of 16 who, since her father died has been taking care of her family and supporting them since she was young. In a whirl wind Katniss's sister, Prim, is chosen for the Hunger Games. Immediately Katniss jumps in a takes her sisters place, but can she hope to survive against trained fighters? And what about her fellow male, Peeta, a boy who saved Katniss's life in a time of great hardship, will she be able to kill him when the time comes or is there some deeper feelings that will change everything?
  This book has everything needed to make an instant hit. It has drama, a bad guy, a heroin and love. Suzanne Collins has captured all the right emotions and pieces to put an amazing book on the shelves for readers to enjoy. The plot development is flawless, the characters are strong and put together. You can not put the book down. For someone who has almost come out of the blue Collins has written a heart wrench-er of a book.You understand everything that is going on with each character. You can easily connect and find likeness with each person in the book. The plot is suspenseful and full of twists and turns. Defiantly worth a read even if you don't like reading.
