The Toilet Restaurant YUM!!!



Where does your food go after you eat and when it goes through your digestive track? The toilet(hopefully). Well what if your food started in a toilet? Well in L.A you can! In the Magic Restroom Cafe you sit on toilets while eating your food out of one.

Their recipes include the "Golden Poop Rice" and the "Bloody Number 2". Even though these recipes sound delicious some people might be turned off by the fact that they have to sit on toilets to eat their food.

The real question here is how did the owner come to this amazing idea. Well as it so happens there are tons of these restaurants in China and Taiwan. They apparently have the same decor and the same recipes.

So what do you think about this interesting restaurant and next time when your in L.A would you go there?

We Are Going to Win!




Have you ever heard of Malaria? Well according to MNT it is "Malaria is a life-threatening blood disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to humans by the Anopheles mosquito." The disease has killed over 660,000 people each year alone. For many years man has been on the losing side on the fight on Malaria, but just recent it was discovered that we just might have the upper hand!

Just recently scientist have created the very first vaccine for this terrible disease. The vaccine is to be called PfSPZ. The SPZ stands for sporozoites, which is (according to Google) the Malaria organism, and when it is weakend it becomes Pf (Plamodium falciparum).

A Ring for £152,450($231,227)



How much money would you spend on a ring? Just any old ring? How about £152,450? That is what the Jane Austen's House Museum paid to buy a ring that Jane Austen once owned from Kelly Clarkson! According to CNN's coverage of the story, they say that the museum "launched" an effort to buy the ring back from Ms. Clarkson.

In the CNN article they failed to hit some important parts in this story. For one, they mentioned Jane Austen's House Museum, but failed to tell the reader if the museum is her real house. For example, they only discussed where this place is other than it is in the United Kingdom. Two, why did they want to buy the ring, when they could have asked for the ring to be donated instead?

In the article Ms. Clarkson said "The ring is a beautiful national treasure and I am happy to know that so many Jane Austen fans will get to see it at Jane Austen's House Museum." This shows that is could have been a possibility that she could have given the ring to them. Finally, Where is the money that money the museum paid Ms. Clarkson going? Is she donating the money to charity or is she keeping it for her own pocket?

Other than these unanswered questions I thought the article was very interesting and informative.
