1966 Volvo Hits Three-Millionth Mile

A new record has been broken in the Guinness Book of World Records. The owner of a 1966 Volvo P1800 has recently hit 3 Million miles on the stock car. Irv Gordon drives his red Volvo up to Alaska from Connecticut twice a year, which he credits most of his miles to. He has never had any problems with the car, and Mr. Gordon says it is the best buy he has ever made. This is important because it shows that if cars are properly maintained, they can last for a very long time.

World's Smallest Horse Stolen!

Charly, a pint-size pony has recently been stolen from his stall in Umbria, Italy. Charly the horse was attending Italy's 47th official horse show on Thursday night when thieves cut a hole in a wire fence which was penning Charly in. Since he is smaller than some dogs, he is pretty easy to transport and this makes things easier for the culprits. The horses owner, Bartolo Messina is devastated. The horse world is not happy with the horsenapping, some say it is a disgrace to Italy's Annual Horse Show. People are also now criticizing the owner for not having a safer, anti-theft pen for Charly. All said and done, there is a missing horse out there and it need to be returned.

Water found in Kenya

Scientists finally have found a water source for Kenya. This is a huge find for the African country because they have been stuck in a drought for a very long time. Clean water is a rare thing in Kenya, and with over 40 million people living there, this could really help the quality of life. Scientists are still trying to figure out how to access the water, but they are positive that it is there. They are also figuring out a way to guard it safely for future generations to come.

13 Injured in Connecticut Fair Ride

Recently thirteen children took a nasty fall on a local fair ride in Norwalk, Connecticut. Police officials tell news reporters the circular swing ride lost power mid session and over a dozen kids fell anywhere between 10 to 15 feet. Most riders fell straight to the ground, but a handful actually hit the ride itself. No serious injuries were reported, but one child was bleeding from the head, others suffered from concussions and sprains. This incident has parents around the nation worried about the safety of amusement rides. I'm not too sure if I would ride any of these local rides after reading this either. The ride was shut down for the the rest of the fair, but the damage was done and I'm sure the ride is all but over for the amusement company.

Record Alligator on the Mississippi

A 727 pound Alligator was recently caught on the Mississippi River. This breaks the previous record by almost 25 pounds. It took a 6 man crew to haul the behemoth reptile into the boat after a hunter shot it with a crossbow. This catch has been eye opening for citizens along the river. The average gator on the Mississippi River is around 500 pounds. Since the new record is over 200 pounds heavier, people are starting to stay more aware about gators. This proves that alligators are growing more and more each year. Who knows, maybe 100 years from now gators will be the size of whales.
