World’s largest horns(Amazing Story)













This is Lurch, the proud bearer of the world’s largest horns. Lurch is a Watusi bull living in an Animal shelter, whose horns measure 92.25 cm and weigh more than 100 pounds each. He’s quite the attraction in his home state and he’s favorite pass-time is acting as bodyguard for a crippled horse that’s being harassed by fellow horses. He looks amazing doesn’t he?

Beer Cans House-House totally made of Beer Can(PICS)













John Milkovisch, a retired upholsterer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, started his project now known as the Beer Can House in 1968 when he began inlaying thousands of marbles, rocks, and metal pieces into concrete and redwood to form unique landscaping features. When the entire front and back yard were completely covered because he "got sick of mowing the grass", he turned to the house itself and began adding aluminum siding – aluminum beer can siding, that is. Over the next 18 years the house disappeared under a cover of flattened beer cans for both practical and decorative reasons. Garlands made of cut beer cans hanging from the roof edges not only made the house sing in the wind, but also lowered the family's energy bills. Ripley's Believe It or Not estimated that over 50,000 cans adorn this monument to recycling. John considered his work an enjoyable pastime rather than a work of art, but he did enjoy people's reaction to his creations.

Middle School students honored for high SAT scores



Several John Glenn Middle School seventh- and eighth-graders were recently honored by The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) for their exceptional performance on the College Board’s SAT test. Victoria Albert, Eleni Drivas, Ruth Hanna, James Kuo, Annika Nosal, Allegra Scharff, and Pamela Weidman earned a High Honors award for achieving an exceptionally high score (at least 550 for seventh-graders and 600 for eighth-graders) on at least one component of the SAT. In addition, Ruth Hanna received a special award for having the highest Critical Reading score of all the Massachusetts seventh-graders who took the SAT.

SAT tests are typically taken for college admissions by high school sophomores and juniors. The middle schoolers participated in the test through CTY’s 2008 Talent Search. Since 1979, CTY has sought the most academically able elementary and middle school students and encouraged their enrollment in the annual Talent Search from September through November. Students then test in December or January. Eligible students can participate in CTY’s summer programs, distance education courses, and other activities designed to enrich the educational experience of these gifted children.
