Detector (T2B23)

I really hope that this detector is good enough during an earthquake. Link.

Vancouver Earthquake (T2B22)

Yesterday was a big wake-up call for earthquake preparation. Although it was a small earthquake (magnitude of around 4.4 or so), it is one of the largest earthquakes in Vancouver before the Big One (which I'm very worried about).  Earthquake News

One thing that was very surprising was how my friends and their families responded. When the earthquake struck, my friends simply paused what they were doing and sat it through. Their parents, on the other hand, began packing up their valuables. None of them climbed under a table for safety. This should not be what they do during the Big One. Packing up valuables is dangerous and childish during a disaster.

I believe that our society is beginning to "wreck" humankind. We are being taught that valuables such as diamonds mean more than our life because of the time and effort we spent earning money for that valuable. Money and valuables are not even close to being substitutes with human lives, and should not be of any value during a disaster because you simply cannot buy a life with money.

However, I realized that living a life after a disaster can be difficult without money or a home, but we should realize now that earthquakes are real and are going to happen. A death is not worth the money. Learn how to take care of yourself.

Mona Lisa (T2B21)

The Mona Lisa is not what you think : Link.

Cloning? (T2B20)

When I was browsing through a few articles, I came across this one Link, which apparently stated that China will begin cloning animals for food in 2016 due to the insufficient amount of poultry and meats being produced recently. 

I'm not very sure if this news is true, because I'm sure a lot of people would be against this idea... However, if the clones really are used for the purpose of food, I think that this method of producing more food is an effective method to feed our growing population. Let's just hope that humans won't be the future animals going into these cloning machines.

Illinois Floods (T2B19)

Recently, there had been a flood in Illinois where 15 people died and several were injured. Many houses were also 'flattened'. Link. Accompanied with this disaster,  many states faced lots of snow and blizzards.

Wow. To think that there had been so much disaster and it didn't even snow where I live.

T2B18

Happy birthday Justin Trudeau!

Our Future in Energy (T2B17)

I wonder what energy will be like in the future? Apparently, Uruguay is now approaching 100% renewable energy. Link.

Drowning (T2B16)

In this article, an eight year old drowned in a ship's swimming pool. Apparently, lifeguards were not assigned at the pool. Link.

First of all, why is there a swimming pool in a boat when it is already floating on water? Second of all, why are there no lifeguards?????! It shouldn't be a surprise that someone actually died. 

I wonder what people in the past would think of us now: people keep water in and out of a boat and it's not even a submarine.

Soap? (T2B15)

We all wash our wounds with soap and water right? In this article, it states that one should use a salt solution instead. Link. Apparently, hospital patients whose wounds were washed with soap required surgery a few years later due to infection.

I would personally not use a saline solution because it stings a lot... But, I heard that some soaps kill of a lot of bacteria, leaving only the stronger ones which may build up and become a problem. That may be why many patients required surgery for infections afterwards.

Seabin (T2B14)

So, there's gonna be this kind of automated seabin that will remove garbage and oil from our oceans so they can be disposed of properly. Link. 

I think that this idea is a pretty good idea to promote clean waters. What is more important, however, is getting people to stop littering in the oceans so that these problems would not be an issue. For now, it is important to protect our marine life from global warming, which causes ocean acidification.

A Horse's Death (T2B13)

This article, again, is an example of how we use animals to our own advantage: Link. A police officer and his horse were both hit by a truck and at the horses last moments of life, he was euthanized at the scene.

It must be horrible to witness a dying horse that is clearly in lots of pain. Let us hope that people will drive more carefully in the future to prevent these incidents.

Tasty! (T2B12)

Do you like recipes? Check out this video for peanut butter fudge Recipe.

Silly Inventions (T2B11)

Check out these hilarious silly inventions!!! Link. To say the truth, I'll probably buy the butter stick and get it confused with a glue stick!

Bottled Air (T2B10)

We would never expect that China is actually selling bottled air 50 times more expensive than mineral water... So the air in China is so polluted that they actually buy air brought from Canada. Link. Well at least Canada found a way to improve their economy.

School Principal (T2B09)

Apparently, this school principal banned anything that's to do with Santa, Thanksgiving, or the pledge of Allegiance to make sure that there is nothing religious in the school. Link. She says that this is because not everybody believes in the same religion.

Although what she says is true, I dunno if Christmas really should be banned in schools... Having Christmas parties are just awesome! I think that people that are Jewish and celebrate Hannukah will still enjoy an occasional party once in a while. Either way, this teacher sounds a bit like Hitler and the teachers, Nazis.

True Courage (T2B08)

Remember the times where you thought you were brave when you stood up to a bully? Now imagine throwing yourself in front of a grenade to save a friend. Link. I wonder what it must be like - to know that you might die to save your friend.

Limestone Secrets (T2B07)

In Bolivia, there's this giant wall with a bunch of dinosaur footprints 68 million years old. Link. Maybe someday, aliens will see our footprints soon after we become extinct...

Better Shelters (T2B06)

It's very nice to see people helping the Syrian Refugees! Link. Ikea is building temporary shelters equipped with solar energy, mosquito nets, lighting and ventilation. In addition, the doors are also lockable.

Refugees (T2B05)

I am very excited for the new Syrian refugees that just arrived in Canada! Video Link. However, I am not sure what would happen to them if another Extreme Islam attack is launched.

Sad Photography (T2B04)

This German Nazi Soldier returns home to find his family dead. 

This brave Japanese boy brings his dead brother to cremation ground.

All that's left of their home are these paintings.

Cute = Death? (T2B03)

Have you ever wondered why people tend to squeeze the soft fluffy cheeks of a cute animal like they want to strangle it? Apparently, it's basically the same concept for why you cry when you are overly happy. Here's the link: Murder?.

I feel like squishing this cat... - NapoleonChurchill 09/12/15

Excellent! (T2B02)

In this article, Donald Trump was apparently disqualified from running for president: Link. The White House says that he does not represent America's values.

Yesssss!!!!

American Hitler (T2B01)

Sooooo, Donald Trump said that if he were president, all Muslims would be banned from entering America: Link. Also, he thinks that all Americans should be armed with guns to defend themselves from them. In the article, the Florida mayor is banning Trump in turn.

Ok. So Trump thinks that he can be the American Hitler right? It's not very different from Hitler and Jews since he wants the Muslims to be blocked off and killed at any time legally. Donald's new name = Adolf Trump.

"I have been reincarnated." - Adolf Trump 2015

Sad Commercial (T1B72)

We only notice the things we need the most when they disappear. Check out this sad commercial: Link.

H.H. Holmes (T1B71)

Leonardo DiCaprio might actually win an oscar with this new horror film:Link. It's about the point of view from H.H. Holmes during his murders. If you didn't know, he built this large hotel with dead ends and block entrances where he would kill the guests.

Dumb Kid (T1B70)

Remember that kid who was arrested for bringing in a clock that looked like a bomb? Well, he's asking for 15 million dollars and an apology for having his life 'scarred'. At least he got to go to the white house and get a bunch of apple devices and popularity on social media.

Tiger and Goat (T1B69)

It is expected that a tiger would eat a goat upon contact. However, this little goat became best friends with the tiger and even shares the same territory as him :Link. I guess that once you get that lonely, you will be able to accept your food as your best friend...

Vladimir Putin (T1B68)

Guess what? The president of Russia can do better Judo than you: Link.

Pollution (T1B67)

China now sees the impacts of global warming with a giant fog. Link.

Angels (T1B66)

It's so weird to see Hell's Angel (Canada's gangster group) actually waiting in line at Walmart to buy all the bicycles for donation at the homeless shelter. Link

Seed Bombs (T1B65)

Cool! In the future, we might make these things called seed bombs : Link. Basically, we just lunch them into deserted areas and the plants grow inside the bombs until they're ready to be planted where the "bomb" will break down leaving the plant.

Guide Dog (T1B64)

Usually, guide dogs are only used by humans. However, this poor blind dog depends on its guide dog to get around : Link.

Spiders As Tools(T1B63)

We can now find a spider and its prey's DNA from its web silk now. Link. Apparently, checking these webs can be a biomonitoring tool.

Trump Moment (T1B62)

Btw, here's another Trump moment: Link. This time, he's mocking a reporter with disabilities...

Japanese Inventions (T1B61)

Japan is the best place for finding cute and cool inventions. Take this for example: Link. These are self watering plants that are put on the backs of adorable ceramic animals. All you have to do is place the straw connected to the animals in a glass of water. They will then water themselves.

Cute ceramic self watering animals!

Finger Painting (T160)

We all know that police can identify people with fingerprints because they are so unique, but these researchers developed a way to identify genders as well. Link. Basically, females tend to have more amino acids in their sweat, so all we have to do is measure the amount of acids.
However, I don't know if this discovery is very that significant for crimes...

Great Wall of Canada (T1B59)

After declaring that he will build a wall between Mexico and America as president, Donald Trump says that he will also build a wall between Canada and America. Link. It is going to cost about 350 billion dollars, which he says will be paid off of Canadian gamblers in about 10 years. He says that it will be the 8th great wonder of the world.
What kind of idiot will spend so much resources and tax-payer money on a destructible wall that an airplane can fly over? I can't believe that some Americans actually support him.

Peculiar Twins (T1B58)

Usually, twins are born just a few minutes apart. However, these pair of twins were actually born 18 days apart : Link. Apparently, the first twin suffered from premature birth and was born at 23 weeks while the other became anemic and suffered blood loss.

Destroying Nature (T1B57)

Wow. Destroying nature is somehow beautiful... Link to photography in New York.

Bad News Canada (T1B56)

Yes, Donald Trump is getting crazier and crazier... especially when he says that if he's president, America would be at war with Canada:Link. Like one of his reasons of taking over Canada is literally because he wants to save our money from ducks. I swear, if he becomes the president (very unlikely), I'm moving to Abu Dhabi.

Ken Lee (T1B55)

There are many fun (or hilarious) ways of learning English: Link. Like this women who entered a singing contest with the wrong lyrics...But at least she's learning English. :)

T1B54

What sane person would even put dogs in an aquarium? Link

T1B53

Why do we have World Toilet Day????? link

Military "Equipment" (T1B52)

We all know that there was a huge Paris attack recently. Unfortunately, a French military dog was killed in this attack while looking for explosives: Link

I find it extremely upsetting for humans to use other animals for our own problems like war. War is only caused by humans and yet, we still involve other animals even if they want to or not. Let this incident remind us of our foolishness and cruelty.

T1B51

These people sure have a funny way of advertising:Link

A Crisis (T1B50)

The Paris shooting is now a global crisis: Link which killed many people. Many people now want Islamic refugees to leave their country even if they mean no harm.

T1B49

Is this what we find as interesting news now? Link

T1B48

 Camouflaging is awesome! Check this out : Link

Colour (T1B47)

In this article: Link, women apparently see more colours to help them identify fruits while men see action more clearly for hunting.

Parasites (T1B46)

Imagine getting cancer from a parasitic worm in your intestines. Unfortunately, that's what happened to this man: Link

(T1B45)

Did you know that it's illegal in France to throw away edible food in supermarkets? Neither did I.

T1B44

This is a hilarious prank of the typical unboxing YouTube video: Link

The Wonders of 3D Printing (T1B42)

I don't even know the point of making 3D printed hair. Apparently there is a point: Link. They also made apartment buildings printed out of a 3D printer. Link. I do not know if this is safe or earthquake proof.

It would be bad enough to get a prosthetic arm but it would be even worse to have a 3D printed arm based on the movie Frozen. Check it out: Link

Magical Unicorn (T1B41)

So this article is about cleaning up the ocean with this cool system. Here is the link: Cool invention.
This thing is supposed to remove approximately 1/3 of the ocean's surface plastic pollution in 5 years.

The problem with this plan is that all the garbage is going to go back onto Earth in landfills. If only someone could come up with some kind of magical invention that would zap all our garbage and make them disappear.

And the next nobel prize is given to Ms. Unicorn! - NapoleanChurchill 01/11/15

(T1B40)

I strongly suspect that those kids that come up with super-cool inventions got the help of professors who asked them to research for them if they promise to give half of their awarded contest money.
Take this girl for example: Link

Halloween! (T1B39)

It's Halloween Eve!

Ocean Subway (T1B38)

This underwater subway would be the perfect place to go scuba diving! : Link

T1B37

Cool! Now new York has it's own Diagon Alley from Harry Potter: Link

Best of Donald Trump (T1B36)

Check out this HILARIOUS video on Donald Trump: Video on his funniest moments. I hate how the people running for president in 2016 are either rich trash bags, fashion designers, or random rappers.

That's true Donald...Except that you're not very beautiful. 

Child's Toy or Forensic Science? (T1B35)

I always wanted to see glowing fingerprints and this guy finally invented the first fingerprint identifier that glows in the dark! Check it out: Link. I would probably use that for my Halloween Costume though.

Droughts (T1B34)

This has to be the coolest thing ever: Link. It would be really bad if we had a drought...But in this article, apparently the Nezahualcoyotl water reservoir dropped 82 feet when they had a drought and strangely enough, it caused an 16th century church to emerge. It's just like those sea castles from mermaid movies!

T1B33

Federal Election: How did the Liberal Party win? Their leader was a teacher at my school and his only education was either arts or education.... Not politics like his father. What made him want to be prime minister anyways?

Elections (T1B32)

The Liberals have won the Canadian Election and Stephen Harper is going to resign! Not that that's a good thing...

The Best Part of Halloween (T1B31)

My favourite part of Halloween are the decorations. However, I think some people are going too far: Take this for example: Link. They literally have decorations that look like real people getting killed in gruesome ways like getting stabbed, being wrapped up on a crucifix, and suffocating to death. Apparently they looked so real that people would run up to them and do CPR and the owners would just start cracking up. That seems fun. I might consider doing that next year.

Yes, I am going to have sooooooo much fun....-NapoleanChurchill 17/10/15

Army Special Forces (T1B30)

Some of the special forces in, "Top 16 of the World's Most Dangerous Special Forces" look so scary. Here's the link: Link

(T1B29)

I don't know what's more funny: This Link, or this Link. The first article is about this store that sells stuff off of stolen things and the second is about a person that robbed a store with a Halloween mask. First of all, why a Halloween mask? If I was the cashier, I would probably laugh my guts out after handing out the money...I should probably not be a cashier.
For the first article, I was wondering how they managed to steal that much stuff without getting attention from the police. Did they have to dig some kind of tunnel between both stores and craw through them every time they're out of stock?

Wow (T1B28)

This article makes me want to be an engineer: Link. It's about a engineer student that wrote a letter discussing how he and a female student studying in the same field are very different. I seriously did not know how difficult being a female in this society was...Even though I am one. I think he's a bit far-fetched in his letter because I have never, ever been discouraged at something just because of my gender.

In a nutshell, the writer is just praising the editor in a form of a letter.

Horrific Asylum Pictures (T1B27)

God...These photos are horrific. Link: Horrific Asylum Pictures. It must have been horrible being a mentally arrested patient back then. I am so glad to be living in the 20th century.

Sculptures (T1B26)

Wow...This is a really cool piece of art: Link. I wonder if global warming will ever affect us this much.

Bionic Eye (T1B25)

This bionic eye: Link seriously reminds me of Alastor Moody from Harry Potter.

Volcano+Lightning (T1B24)

So I looked at a few photos at a photo contest: Link and they are absolutely stunning...Especially the one with the volcano and the thunder. I wish I can see this kind of stuff in ordinary life. But then again, I don't really want to live beside one of the most dangerous active volcanos with lightning everywhere for 10 more years.

Albinos (T1B23)

What have we created? I saw all kinds of white animals at this website: Link. My favourite ones are the hedgehogs, whales, alligators, tigers, because they look like those white masks in horror movies.

"I'm albino!" - Napoleon Churchill 09/10/15

(T1B22)

Link. This is pure racism...

Weirdest Fish You Will Ever See (T1B21)

Before I came across the following article (Link: Top 15 Weird Creatures), I never knew that there were fish with 2 healthy sets of rectangular shaped teeth. Or a giant rolley-polley bug that's as big as a basketball. I thought that was reserved for Spongebob.

Airplanes (T1B20)

Wow...The gap between the slowest and fastest aircraft in this article: Top Aircrafts is more than 5000 km/h. I wonder when we can create a plane faster than the speed of sound.

(T1B19) Peculiar People

SO my brother showed me some news on this human photographer some other "Mozart". Apparently there's this autistic guy that can draw a whole city with every exact detail on it if he looks at a city for 20 minutes. There's also this guy that can play a whole song after just listening to it once just like Mozart...Except that he's blind and makes YouTube videos.

It's funny how the people that have "superpowers" all have some kind of disability.

T1B18

China recently built a pant-wetting glass suspension bridge that measures 600 feet above a canyon. Here's the link: Glass Bridge

 I bet it will attract more tourists if they had a "floating" swimming pool made of glass connected to the bridge though. Actually, the pool might turn yellow after a while...

Climate Change (T1B17)

I saw this very sad article about how climate change is affecting polar bears. Here's the link: Polar Bears

I can't believe how much ice is melting that polar bears can't eat anymore.Those pictures of the dead bears are one of the reasons why we should stop using air conditioners in the summer. The problem is that if we use air conditioners, the climates would be even warmer and more people would use it.

(T1B16)

Is it even legal to suspend someone just cause' he talks like a robot? Here's the link :Link

(T1B15)

Today I went to the University Transfers Program information meeting and I have absolutely no time to write my blog.

The Ads (T1B14)

With voting coming up in a few weeks, all political leaders are beginning to empty their wallets on attack ads. If you go ahead and search up their websites, they are all asking you for donations so that they can make more ads that annoy us 24/7. Like seriously! I can't even watch a Youtube video without watching Justin Trudeau complain about Stephen Harper.

(T1B13)

Last class, my socials teacher told us about this Islamic women who was denied citizenship because she was wearing a tsadar over her head. Apparently, to be a citizen in Canada, you must not have anything covering your head. Now she's taking the Canadian government to court because she believes that she should be able to be a citizen along with her religion.

Why would the Canadian government even make a law banning people from being citizens if they are wearing stuff on their heads????? This women should be able to be a citizen despite wearing a tsadar! Let's hope that she wins in court.

T1B12

Wow, the conservatives are doing much better than I thought. Here's the link: Political News. I expected the liberals to get the majority of the voters because of all the advertisements they put everywhere but it turns out that people actually want to vote for Stephen Harper.

The Enragment of the Americans (T1B11)

China has been getting more and more powerful in military and economy (Link). Recently, it has been building artificial islands and aircraft bases and threatening neighbouring countries. The United States is infuriated and wants to reduce China's influence on other Asian countries. America believes that all other countries should be democratic.

Why do other countries have to be democratic? Why does America think that democracy is the way to life? Most of all, why are they spending so much time and money on the Asian countries just to prevent them from being communists?

The Mergusting Benz (T1B10)

Is it just me, or is the Mercedes Benz tryin' to make their cars look like metal ovals in 3D? Here's the link:Mercedes Trash for $$$$$

Bird=Brainless (T1B8)

Apparently these people thought that they were doing a good deed when they released a young bird from a burger polystyrene box but they bird ended up flying into a window. Here's the link: Bird Brain

My first thought was what kind of idiot would keep a bird in a burger styrofoam box and release it beside tinted windows???!

Trump gets Trumped (T1B7)

Here's another video: Bullying

Sometimes politicians like to act like school bullies...Like is bragidocious even a real word?

Idiots of America (T1B6)

Yesterday, my brother showed me this piece of news : Piece of News

Anyways, this 14-year old guy named Ahmed Mohamed made this clock in a briefcase and brought it to school for his 'invention'. His teacher proceeded to call the police because she mistook it for a bomb and he was pretty much handcuffed for just a few hours. After this news became viral, he claimed that he was arrested only because of racial inequality.

First of all what kind of kid would bring an invention that looks like a weapon that could potentially blast the heads off of your classmates? Of course his teacher should have called the police because if something really did go wrong, it would be her responsibility. It is obviously not because of racial inequality. Ahmed is just another kid that thinks that anything bad that happens is only based off of racism. Which is what our messed up society is teaching us.

Why do people even call this inspiring? It's more like idiotiring.

Explanation of the increasing amount of idiots.

The Missing Tourist (T1B5)

So apparently there was this tourist whom everyone thought went  missing joined her own search party. Here is the link: LOL

In 2012, there was a woman who was reported missing in Iceland and when she returned, she joined her own search party. After several hours of intensive searching, the tourist realized that she was the individual that everyone was looking for.

I wonder if this is the case for many search parties.

(Thankfully) Extinct Giant Animals (T1B4)

Today, I learned about the eurypterids or 'giant scorpions'.

Let's say that if these "giant scorpions" still live, fishing would be the utmost boring thing that existed after golf. Having 5-10 lobsters in the lake will make fishing reduce your level of boredom to the point that our human minds can barely comprehend. Maybe because the giant scorpions have such large appetites. Also, if you plan on going for a swim because lakes are the only alternatives to swimming pools and oceans, which are filled with godknows what, lakes will now be occupied with prehistoric lobsters that are larger than you and will unleash all of their rage on your soft toes if given the chance to do so.

I can't believe that such creepy bugs ever lived! If they still roam the planet, I would be in mars right now, unless they live in zoos. I wouldn't even want to walk in water that's not in a swimming pool anymore.

Mother nature sure has a broad sense of imagination.

America's Dilemma (T1B3)

Kanye West is selling clothing for $2200:  Rags for Sale

He is also running for president.

As you can probably guess, I love laughing at politicians. But I am not going to do so today.

Kanye West is a rapper with not much talent and a wannabe clothing designer. He produced tracks such as Stronger (a rip-off of Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger) and other songs that I only need to hear once. During the 2015 MTV VMA awards ceremony, after accepting his award for godknowswhat reason, Kanye made a speech for presidential candidacy by beginning with "Bro" (Kanye's Full Acceptance Speech). We aren't exactly sure if he's serious or not.

I dunno what to say. I think that the reason he is running for president is because he's so full of himself. Kanye thinks that he is so popular and loved by everyone - sort of like Mr. Donald... just without as much money. Or as much pride. Or as much delusion.

At least Kanye's out there tryin' to make a livin'.

Another Triumph for Trash (T1B2)

Sooooooooooooo...I was watching a Youtube video about Donald Trump getting interviewed by a Mexican man. Here's the link: Trump Mocking Mexican

As we all know, Donald Trump said that if he was elected as president, he will build a wall between Mexico and America to prevent illegal immigrants. The Mexican man was extremely insulted by what Trump had said and asked him a question: would he build a wall between America and every country to prevent illegal immigrants, thieves, and drug dealers? Trump interrupted and asked if the man was sent by Mexico to ask him the question and did not provide a complete answer.

Donald Trump is so rude and he thinks that he can handle issues better than Obama - which he ACTUALLY stated in one of his interviews. I have a feeling that he will not be elected as president because he is a business man and not someone who can represent the United States and care about world issues. He only cares about himself and his 5 billion dollars. I wonder how he ever got the idea of running for president.

Trump for prez? Nah, more like trash for prez.

KO! Another victory for Trump! - Napoleon Churchill, 12/09/2015

First Post (T1B1)

Hi there!

My nickname is Napoleon and I attend Churchill's Synergy program! I am very excited to start the new school year as a highschool student and kinda stressed about the fact that I'm not yet enrolled in l'immersion francais yet although my nice brother told me to do it a couple of months ago but... anyways, I'm done for today and ready for the weekend - bye!
