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.
