I wanna go to Norway

In Norway, Everyone Is A (Paper) Millionaire - Kids News Article
I just read an article about how everyone in Norway just became a millionaire. They became millionaires because the government had over 826 billion U.S. dollars or 5.22 trillion kroner saved up from their oil and natural gas distribution to the world. They have 1% of the worlds stocks and owns bonds from all the way from London to Boston. The author of this article calls them "paper" millionaires because everyone is worth 1 million on paper. The reason the U.S. does not have these types of funds is because we are in about 17 trillion dollars in debt to china and other countries.

The Verrückt

Kansas City's Verrückt Water Slide Is Insane (Literally)! - Kids News Article
I just read an article about a waterslide called the Verrückt. Measuring 17 stories tall they hope to smash the world record this Memorial Day. The previous world record being the 14 story tall Insano located in Brazil. The "Wizard of Water," Jeff Henry, is not just responsible for creating this slide, he also has contributed to many other insane rides in water parks across the U.S. This ride is probably one of the most thrilling rides in the world but I wouldn't ride it. I'm terrified of heights but if I wasn't I would definitely go.

Windmill chargers

These Ultra-Cute Micro Windmills May Soon Charge Your Devices - Kids News Article
I recently read an article about these micro windmills that are suppose to be chargers and supply electricity. Measuring 1.8mm, they are so small 10 of them can fit on a single grain of rice. The creator has not said how powerful they are yet but he said a few thousand could power a family's house. He says they will sell in packs of 100 so if there was ever an emergency and you needed to make a call or text when your phone was dead you could just hook them up to it and you would be able to make that call or text. I think this is a very good invention and it could save money and people in emergencies.



1. The bat had great pop, but it was just a prototype.
2. She wanted to eat ice cream, but she had to withstand the temptation .
3. I love vanilla wafers.
4. The tool was very durable.
5. The carpenter harnessed himself from one side of the house to the other.
6. My invention was great, but I had to get a patent from the government to start sale.
7. The man was very assertive.
8. The scientist contemplated the organism.
9. It was an arduous job.
