A big ol' fishy

A fishing guide in Spain had caught his own monster Wels catfish. The catfish weighs in at 6 feet, 11 pounds. He caught him on the Ebro River in Spain. They only kept him long enough to weigh and measure it, and then they let it go, like the good fisherman they are. And of course, right after he caught and released the fish, he tweeted about it.

Ben Hervey-Murray sent this picture along with an email, to GrindTV Outdoor, which then told the world about it in this article. He hopes that even bigger fish will be around so his clients can catch them, and really understand this whole ordeal.

That is one HUGE fish.

He's bigger than me!

Barbie Wanna-A-Be`s

What if people in this day of age actually looked like a barbie?

This article is about all of the changes that women would have to make to look like a barbie doll.
If you hadn't already heard, there is a lady out there,  named Valeria Lukyanova, who has went through all the surgery, and extreme dieting, to look like barbie. And she is damn proud of it. She does look a little add though. She is 2 feet taller than average, much bigger breasts, a way to tiny small of waist, and grossly thin arms and legs.

Apparently, she has even had some of her ribs removed to get the perfect figure..

This doctor/researcher dude decided to do a study about it from barbie,  compared to the average 19 year old female, who is closest built to barbies figure.

New Money

Woo, the US is getting a make over, money wise at least. The new 100 dollor bills is set to be produced any day now. It has more security features and will be harder to remake into counterfeit bills.

There is a lot more color in the new bill which will make it harder to reproduce. It also has a different background with more security features.

The Old
The New
 















This is good for the United States, but I wonder if they realize that people will still counterfeit the old money. You can't just take out all of the older bills. A lot of things would become un balanced and there would be chaos among the people, the government, and the banks.

Connecticut bans Guns

Connecticut has officially banned more fire arms since the Sandy Hook shooting. I am happy for them that this will somehow give them some sense of security, but people still have their guns. People have their ways of getting guns, whether it's through friends or online or whoever. People will have their guns.

In the article, it mentions how it bans some weapons as well as the sale or purchase of high-capacity magazines, just like the ones used in the shooting. It also requires background checks for any type of gun purchase. This isn't all that they proposed change, but hey, at least they got something passes, and a new law created.

A Generation to die for.

There is a new study out there that teens in this generation are bound to have heart disease in later life. I have no doubt about this. With all of this icky, greasy food, that people just shovel in their mouth is gross. I assume I will probably know some people who will get heart disease because they eat so unhealthy. like people, for real. EAT YOUR VEGGIES.

In the article it talks about how 80% of U.S. teenagers are on the path of getting heart disease because of their poor diet. It also talks about how they don't exercise enough. I will admit, that I am probably on that road too, but hey, I'm trying to make the effort and work out and eat healthier!

In the article it says that even children as young as 6 years old are starting to have enlarged arteries. THAT IS HORRIBLE. I hardly ever went out for fast food when I was young, because my parents knew it was bad for me. Why don't these parents realize that it's all processed cow or chicken fat with flavor and a whole bunch of sugar? I will be one of those parents who don't take their children out for fast food, and will not let them drink any type of soda or energy drink.

Rain is bad.

Heavy rains, in a forest that has a mine in it isn't the best idea. Because of the heavy rains in Myanmar, 11 people have died because it made one mine collapse and another have a tree fall on the living quarters. This happened last Friday. Hopefully they get a better support system in the mine, if they reopen.

Myanmar seems to be getting the metaphorical shaft lately. This sudden flooding is really bad for the already troubled country.

Crazy mother.

There is this really crazy lady in the UK who forced her adoptive daughter to get pregnant because she isn't allowed to adopt any more children. Clearly, there is a reason for that. The daughter ended up having a miscarriage, so after a few more tries, she ended up having the baby at 17, with a  stranger's sperm that they bought online. WHAT THE HELL. I would straight up run away, but I guess if you loved your mother, and wanted to do anything for her, I guess you would do this. But now the crazy lady is in jail for a couple of years and her adoptive kids are now back in the system.
