Worlds Largest Dinosaur

Paleontologists recently found the worlds largest dinosaur fossil in history. They found a new species of Titanosaur and just looking at the bone it is believed this creature would stand about 65 feet tall and about 130 feet long. The paleontologists estimated the weight of the creature would have been around 77 tons (155,000 pounds). By looking at the bones it is said that this was the largest creature to ever walk the Earth. To put the size difference in perspective a T-Rex only weighed 7 tons and this creature is 70 more tons. 65 feet would be around as tall as a 7 story building. They also found 150 other fossils in the same area that are carnivorous dinosaurs. They are all believed to die from dehydration or die from getting stuck in the mud.

Money in the Bathroom

The Australian Magistrate gave a former janitor and a current fast food worker $76,000. Chamindu Amarsinghe found a huge amount of money in a sanitary bin in a office bathroom while he was cleaning the place. When he looked in the bin he realized there was about $93,500. When Chamindu saw the money at first he said "There was too much to count. I thought someone was playing a prank on me." Chamindu was a struggling student who needed money, but stealing the money never crossed his mind, but instead told his boss about it. They later found about $1,100 which came from the bathroom pipes. The investigators think that it might have been a drug deal, so the person didn't come and claim the money because he/she didn't want to be in trouble.

Allen Moe

When you have a car you try to keep it in the best condition that you can. This is what Allen Moe tried to do. He was driving on a road in Rosemount, Minnesota when he came a cross a pot hole. He maneuvered around the pot hole to miss it only to have a cop pull him over. Allen Moe said to the reporters “I swerved to just get around the potholes and then I came back into my lane. After I went through the stop light, [a police officer] stopped me." Mr. Moe explained why he had swerved around the potholes, “We all do it in this community. We have to, to preserve our own vehicles.” Allen Moe is facing the court and trying to get his $128 ticket taken away. Hopefully this poor man will get this ticket taken away.

The Owl is Stolen

In Selah, Washington a person stole a rare owl out of the central Washington bird sanctuary. The bird that was stolen a 14-year old tawny owl and it was taken Friday from the Raptor House property. They figured out someone stole it, because on the cage of the owl the lock was taken off and took the leash off of the owl. The tawny owl is of great value on the black market and can range from $3,000 to $4,000. Hopefully this rare bird will be brought back to the sanctuary in one piece. They also hope that the person who stole this tawny owl won't come back for anymore birds.

Two Prosthetic Legs

There was a calf found in Virginia in April of 2013 with its tail and legs frostbitten due to the extreme cold temperatures. This calf was later brought to the vet to get all the treatment that it needed so it can live a normal life as a cow. Hero the calf was later brought into the Texas A&M for the school to treat it. Dr. Ashlee Watts made his legs really well rounded by rounding the tendons and bones and covering all of that up with a prosthetic leg. Hero was one lucky calf with all the advancements in the veterinarian world. Many other animals have been helped by this advancement with piglet with no hind legs getting a wheel chair for the back legs and a Siberian Husky with no legs and had to get four all new legs.

Bad Pilots

Southwest suspended two commercial airplane pilots after they land at the wrong airport. All 124 passengers were outraged to be at the wrong airport even though the two airports are only 7 miles away. The captain of this Southwest flight has been piloting for 15 years and made a stupid mistake. After they landed ground transportation came and picked them up from the airport and brought them to the correct airport which they later went on a new plane to complete their flight. This is also the second time a airplane landed in the Branson meaning to land in a different airport.

The Biting Fish

A swarm of biting fish injured around 70 people on Christmas in a very popular bathing spot in Argentina. Many people had to get bandaged up for small cuts and scratches and many people had to get stitches, but there was one unlucky seven year old girl who had to get part of her finger amputated. This fish is a relative of the piranha called "palometas." This all happened on the sandy beaches of the Parana River near Rosario, north of Buenos Aires. And this all happened when these Argentinians were just seeking relief from the heat over the holiday.
