Norwegians Become Millionaires



Picture from here
Norwegian families has all of sudden became millionaires do to the government tucking away all the money from their trading and surplus in oil and natural gases. Some things pension funds invested are saving enough money for the the future residents and families of Norway. The author calls these Norwegian Millionaires "paper" millionaires because it only states they get 1 million kroner or $164,000,000 on paper they have not received this money yet. Our country doesn't have this type of money because we use it in hefty taxes funds and we use our money on useless things. Norwegian government has been saving it for the people of their country.

Waterslide Insanity

Picture from here
Jeff Henry, called the Wizard of the Water because of his crazy water slide inventions, has created a water slide called the Verrückt in Schlitterbahn Water Park located in Kansas City, Missouri. Verrückt is a water slide where you take a estimated 17 story plunge then rise up a hill to take your final drop. Verrückt is different from Brazils Insano because it is suppose to go over Insano's 65 mph drop and taller than its 14 story tall starting point. Verrückt seems so fun because of its fast high drop. That really wants to make me ride it.


  1. That slide was under extensive redesigning.
  2. The Screaming Eagle sent us hurtling.
  3. At the party the lights illuminated the whole place
  4. We were the only people not mulling over the trip to Rome,Italy
  5. The dog propelled himself at the rabbit.
  6. Tommy had a  radical idea about the escape.
  7. The advisers speculated us during the game.
  8. The amount of points we scored surpasses the other teams.
  9. My brother, Connor, welded his legos together.

The Micro Windmills

Picture from here
Jung-Chih Chiao and  Smitha Rao have created a micro windmill that can charge your electrical devices. They saw that windmills take in wind energy and use it to power things. After seeing the windmills at work, they decided to reduce the size of the windmill to form a micro windmill. Each windmill consists of a 1.8 mm diameter rotor that is mounted on a 2 mm stand. These parts are extremely flexible and are very hard to break. After completing the final parts of the micro windmill they started talking with  Taiwanese WinMems Technologies Co. about putting the micro windmills in stores






  1. Joey started harnessing the power from the factories coal.
  2. I contemplated the idea of buying a new phone.
  3. We had an arduous task at the race.
  4. There were 105 prototypes for the experiment.
  5. Bob can withstand anything except being poked in the eye.
  6. It is very rare to find a metal wafer.
  7. I can assert that the dog will be safe in the kennel.
