Is Brookfield Zoo "Dinosaurs" Really Worth It?

Brookfield Zoo recently obtained a new exhibit presented by Dominic's, it's called "Walking with the Dinosaurs." It is where you get to see (robot) dinosaurs. Sounds cool, but is it really worth it?

Let see the ups and downs. You do get to see dinosaurs, but they are a little non-realistic and, why is it called "walking with the dinosaurs" if they do not walk? They are preety big but not that loud.

Now lets look at the prices. First you have to pay for parking($8). Then addmission($12 adults and ($8 kids) super addmission ticket ($24). Then you have to pay for the exhibit itself($5 unless you have a super addmission ticket which gives you access to everything.)

So is it really worth it? For me, not really, but for some people,yes.

GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!

Superman

Superman is a superhero who is very well known. He has Super Strength, Durability, Super Speed, Super Hearing, Super Blow, Heat Vision and Flight. He is from the planet Krypton. He has fought and destroyed many villians including Doomsday, Bizzaro and Lex Luther. There are Superman movies, comics, toys, shows, cartoons and collectables.

When Kal-El ( Superman's Kryptonian name is Kal-El ) was on Krypton his father (Jer-El ) was a great scientist. He saw that soon his planet would be destroyed. He tried to warn people but they did not believe him. So, he vstarted to build a ship to get off Krypton. But when the day came Jer-El had only the miny model built. He told his wife to take baby Kal-El (Superman ) and herself in the ship, there was enough room, but she refused. She said" without my wait our son would definitly make it to Earth." So Kal-El was blasted into space and Krypton was never seen again.

After his journey into space, he crashed into a place in Kansas called Smallville. That is when the Kent's found his ship and him. They took him to an orphanage where he started showing off his powers ( You see, he only has powers on Earth because that is where the " yellow sun is " He created quite a mess at the orphanage. The Kents finally decided to adopt him. The named him Clark Kent. The orphanage was VERY happy about that. Clark grew up in Smallville. When he was a teenager he decided he would use his powers for mankind. He got the name Superboy. Using the name Clark Kent for his secret identity. He grew up and changed his superhero name to Superman.

Clark Kent/ Superman stayed in Smallville ( although he fought a lot of crime in Metropolis ) an Clark became a reporter so he could tell where and when crime hit. That is when he met Lois Lane. Although they did not get along at first, they were ment to be with each other. They became boyfriend and girlfriend and then married each other.

Lego History

LEGO was not always called LEGO. LEGO wasonce called THE AUTOMATIC BUILDING BRICK. I will tell you how the name LEGO came to be and much more. Well, it all started with a Danish carpenter named Ole Kirk Christiansen. His busness was not doing well, so he started making step ladders,ironing boards and wooden toys. But the wooden toys sold the best. He made different animals, vehicle and even small bricks! Ole decided his future was with toys.

So,he kept going until he had a company constrcted. Now he called the product THE AUTOMATIC BUILDING BRICK. They eventually switched from wood to plastic because of the efficency and other reasons. Then Ole's son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen changed the name to LEGO.

The name LEGO comes from the Danish words 'leg" and "godt" which meant "play well". Later The company discovered that in Latin it meant "I put together"

I hope you enjoyed this true story. I hope you learned something new!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I will now tell you about the Jedi. They are people ( and aliens ) that are able to "use" the Force. Their sacred weapon is the lightsaber. They are pretty much the good guys of Star Wars. They are able to preform the force powers: Force Push, Absorb, Force Dash, Force Jump and more! Unfortunately, they were wiped out by the Empire ( they are one of the many bad guys in Star Wars.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

New Books

Hello, it is Neal again. I will now recommend a few new books which I got. The first one I got is THE BOOK OF LIES. It is a book that tells many lies that exist but that we don't notice in our everyday lives. It is very funny. You should read it! The second book is the DILBERT SUDOKU BOOK. It is a book with Sudoku puzzles. Then, every once in a while there are comics to read! That book is fun to do. Again, I recommend you do it. That's all for now.
