Miracle on the Hudson, by Anna

Recently on flight 1549 the pilot uttered three words that made complete strangers reach out to each other and pray. Those words were “We’re going down”. While everyone was in a panic and thinking of “What Ifs,” in the cockpit Captain Chesley Sullenberger had to make a choice, land on land or land on water which had never been successfully done in a plane that size. Sullenberger made the choice of landing on water which he did safely, but the next step was getting everyone off the plane. Chaos broke out as people tried to get out of the plane and into the life raft. Then everyone’s sliver of hope grew as they saw Captain Vince Lombardi’s ferry approach the plane ready to save people. Other boats came to the rescue and divers jumped into the freezing waters to save those who had fallen in. In the end the people’s prayers paid off when all 155 people (including the crew) were rescued and the first successful commercial plane landing on water had been carried out.

Hannah Montana Gets Robbed by a Monkey

Yesterday Hannah Montana was on her tour bus minding her own business when out of no where a monkey smashed through one of the windows. He had a pair of safety scissors which he pointed at Ms. Montana. He asked for a million toasters but Hannah refused. The monkey saw what she was doing; the toasters were too pricey so he thought he could negotiate so instead he asked for two-hundred packing peanuts. When Hannah refused again he lost it and came at her with the scissors. The bodyguards managed to tackle the monkey but Hannah is now in intensive care from receiving a severe cut on her finger.

An Accountant's Biggest Fear:

Recently, CWN (the best place to get the latest gossip) sat down with Bradley Bonner, a hard working accountant, to find out what really is an accountant’s biggest fear. Bradley says he speaks for all accountants when he says, “Our biggest fear is going to the beach and meeting a hippie”. Read on to see what else he had to say on the subject.

Reporter: And why is that so scary for you?

Bonner: Well, a few years ago a former colleague of mine went to the beach and met a hippie. The scary thing is that we never saw him again. People say that he first went to join the Monks because the hippie said that that was a good way to gain inner peace. Another rumor is that after he became a monk he decided to join the Peace Corps and is now in Africa traveling with them.

Reporter: I see. And why is finding inner peace so bad?

Bonner: You can’t find inner peace in a suit, and taking off the suit is like going to the dark side, like in Star Wars

Reporter: Thank you for your time Bradley, and for answering our pressing questions.”

Tune in next week when Kristy Krutz will interview the world largest doughnut.

A Random Way to Entertain Your Dog: A True Story by Anna

On Thursday night my mom was annoyed by Daphne (My dog) and she wanted me to entertain her so she could get some work done. I went to my room and gave Daphne her bone but she eventually got bored of it. I had recently heard that dogs are amazed by bubbles, so I took out some bubbles my friend Erin had given me at the 50s party. When I got Daphne’s attention I blew one and she went crazy. She was jumping here and there, trying to catch one, only to have them pop time after time. When I stopped for a moment to watch her it looked like she was licking her lips because she liked the taste of the soap. So if your dog is ever bugging your mom just pull out the bubbles and you’ll both be entertained!
