World's largest animal bones
Archaeologists dug up fossils of what seems to have been the largest animal to ever walk the Earth early last week. They found the bones of a massive dinosaur in Argentina. When standing up straight, it would be as tall as a 7-story building. The dinosaur also weighed up to 77 tons. The scientist's guess is that the animal died in either a drought from dehydration or from getting stuck in the mud. Even though this thing was so massive and could have probably destroyed any other dinosaur in a fight, it was a peaceful herbivore.

Naked Man Killed
A man in Portland, Oregon was running around the streets naked on Sunday. Police received two calls about the man within 2 minutes, but he was hit and killed before they arrived. Reports say he was in the middle of the road doing push ups without any clothes on. He was also sprinting into on coming traffic screaming nonsense. The driver who hit him was cooperative and was not on any drugs or alcohol. The state of Oregon will conduct an autopsy soon to see if the man was on drugs.

Chicago Teen Ganglord
Gikarah Barnes was a 17 year old regular girl to many that knew her. After she was killed on April 11th, the real truth came out. Barnes was the leader of a massive gang throughout the city and had shot 3 other teens to death from the ages 13-16. The police had no suspicion that it was her committing these crimes. After she was murdered, many of her gang members posted on social media about her, including pictures of her holding drugs and guns. The police have now connected her to atleast 2 of the shootings.

Microsoft buys Sony
Recently, Microsoft bought Sony for fifteen billion dollars. Microsoft plans on morphing the Xbox One and the PS4 together. This completely corners all of the console gaming community onto a single gaming system. There will be many problems with getting enough efficient servers that are able to hold such a massive amount of connections. Between the two, there will be almost 10 million players on at all times. This is a huge buy for Microsoft, and it will be interesting to see how it works out in the future.

$1.2 Million Artifact recovered
A 40 year old man from Canada was arrested for possessing a very expensive lost artifact. An old lost Persian limestone carving was found in the man's car. He said he paid $1,400 for it and was told it was worth a lot. He had no clue it was worth over a million dollars. Quebec provincial police held a press conference this week in Montreal announcing and displaying the recovered artifact. They hope that bringing the theft to light again will help generate new leads in finding the suspect. For now, an insurance company has possession of it.

Flowing water on Mars?
NASA has recently claimed to have found evidence of flowing water on the planet Mars. They say a very high powered camera took a snap of some flowing liquid on the face of the planet. Some say it isn't possible that water is flowing because even warm temperatures on Mars are well below freezing. NASA explained that the iron rich minerals on the planet may act as an antifreeze to the water, allowing it to freely flow.

Winter Storm hits U.S.
Over two thirds of the country will soon be covered in around 10 inches of snow. This isn't a rare event for the midwest, but many will be effected in the southern half of the country. People traveling home from the Super Bowl in New York have been delayed, and it is really messing up many people's traveling plans. Driving in snow can be tough when you aren't used to it, so the highways and interstates will be clogged. Hopefully clean up crews will do their best and make for better traveling conditions.

Bitcoin Arrest
A top figure in the selling of bitcoins has been arrested. Bitcoins are used for buying illegal products online through underground websites like "The Silk Road." The Silk Road made news earlier in 2013 for being shut down. Since then it has recovered fully and is back in action. Since regular money is too easy for police to track, they created the bitcoin, which is almost impossible to track. The top company who sells bitcoins has been booming since the return of the Silk Road. The vice president of this company was arrested because the FBI found him guilty of selling illegal bitcoins.

Man attempts poisoning Obama
A Mississippi man has been arrested for attempting to poison the President. The 41 year old man sent letters to the president contain ricin, a toxic protein that can easily kill a human with extremely small doses. He was hoping that Obama himself would open the letter, and that some ricin would stick to his fingers, which he would possibly consume. Luckily the White House caught these letters before they reached the president, potentially saving Obama's life. The man, who pleaded guilty on Friday, will be sentenced in 60 days.

Old Antarctica Adventure
Antarctica has always been a very desolate place. Adventurers have always tried to investigate the foreign land but it's often too cold to do much. Well they just recovered some old films from a hut they recently found. The films are from the very first expedition, in which the adventurers all died. They must have stowed away the films before they died. This is a very big find for scientists who might be able to figure out where the bodies might be.
