Cool Fish!


At the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, researchers have solved the mystery of a rare fish. This fish isn't any ordinary fish, this fish has tubular eyes and a transparent head. Ever since they found this fish in 1939, marine biologist have known that its magnificent eyes are great at collecting light. What makes it awkward, is that the fish lives in a pitch black environment! The fish was named the"barreleye"because of the shapes of its eyes. The fishes eyes provide a "tunnel-vision" view of everything directly above its head. The eyes on this mysterious fish can rotate inside the fishes head through a transparent shield. Thus, it allows the fish to peer up at potential prey, or focus on its food. In my opinion, this fish probably looks around like it has eyes like us. All in all, this fish is mysterious and and to solve a mystery a fish like this, they deserve kudos.

Iran is ready to test a nuclear power plant (S.S.)

Iran's first nuclear power plant will undergo testing in front of Russian and Iranian officials. During the testing, they plan to use "dummy" fuel rods without enriched uranium and are planing to test all the plant's systems. ISNA quoted Khazaneh, a former adviser to the IAEO(Iran's Atomic Energy Organization) saying,"then the next tests, with fuel rods containing enriched uranium, will take place near the end of 2009". Numerous countries, including the United States, are concerned that Iran are going to use the nuclear power plant to make nuclear weapons but, Iran says its for peaceful purpose's. On top of that, countries are primarily concerned because Iran has enough uranium to create a nuclear bomb. All in all, Iran wants to use the nuclear power plant for peace and not to make a nuclear bomb.

Amazingly BIG SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!

Scientist in Columbia have unearthed the remains of perhaps the biggest snake that lived on Earth. They named this snake insane snake Titanoboa cerrejonensis. The scientist say that the snake would've weighed 2,500 pounds and would be 42.7 feet from head to tail, but it would also come up to your hips! Supposedly, the snake lived on Earth 58 to 60 million years ago. In order for a snake that big to live, the average temperature in its habitat would have to be 91 degrees Fahrenheit. In my opinion, I would not like to be around if that snake shows its head again. Most importantly, with the information that the scientist provided, I believe a snake of that size would've been able to be alive on Earth. Finally, Columbia's scientist discovering that massive snakes inhabited Earth and I believe they did too.

South Brunswick Snow!

Beautiful South Brunswick New Jersey, experienced snow from 3:00 pm on February third till 1:00 am today. All of the snow resulted in three inches of white, glistening snow! The kids enjoyed playing in the snow but, the adults grabbed shovels and and started shoveling. It resulted in a ninety minute school delay! On the other hand, the snow covered roads resulted in tough driving conditions. On the bright side, trucks plowed, salted and sand the roads to make driving way easier. Finally, the snow that South Brunswick received was good and bad.
