The other day Sonny Carter a 7 year old from Gaywood, England was using his new metal detector and found a rare find. He and his family found and dug up a 11.5 pound World War II practice bomb and brought it home. When they got it home and washed it they realized that it was a bomb so the Royal Air Force bomb squad was dispatched to the house. The bomb didnt have any explosives in it so everyone escaped danger. So after this bomb was found, the government advised the citizens to not move the device if they find one.

2013: The Year in Sports
2013 has been a year of ups and downs. Wisconsin sports have been rolling while NFL coaches are moving on. The Brewers made it to their first World Seires since 1982 but eventally ended up losing to the Yankee/Dodger wanna bees, Blue Jays/ Marlins. The Brewers made the the biggest trade deadline deal this season by aquiring Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman for Corey Hart, Willy Peralta, Michael Fiers, Carlos Gomez Jean Sugera and Rickie Weeks. While the Bucks made it too the playoffs for once in their lives but were without the NBA's leader in Blocks, Larry Sanders because he fell down his stairs at home and broke his leg and arm. Bucks got Swept in the first round. Now onto the NFL... Rex Ryan, Romeo Cornel, Ken Whisenhut, Andy Reid, Tom Coughlin, Denis Ryan, Norv Turner, Pat Shurmur all got fired. 25% of the leagues head coaches got fired in the off-season. Thats your 2013, Year in Sports!

Storage Wars Staged?
Dave Hester from the show Storage Wars has filed a lawsuit against the show saying that it is staged. Dave was fired from the show for coming out and saying that it was sstaged. Storage Wars is A&E's most popular show ever and has declined to comment on this. Dave says that the show goes into lockers and places high value items into them to make the show more entertaining. He is represented in this case by the same man who represented Charlie Sheen in his lawsuit against Two and a Half Men. I really hope that this show isnt staged because i love watching it and it is very entertaining!

Auto Sales Booming!
In Novemeber, last month the car sales are up 15% from the same time last year. This is the highest rate that the cars have sold at since January 2008. Honda, Nissan, BMW and Hyundai had their best Novembers ever selling more cars this year in November than any other year. More than1.1 million cars were sold in November in the U.S. Most or a high percentage of those cars were imports rather than the domestic brands. Some of these sales were replacing the roughly 250,000 cars that were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. So i dont think that it is a good sign to the economy but it is a good sign to automakers for sure.

Two Men instead of Two and a Half Men?
A year after Charlie Sheen left the show, Two and a Half Men they are now close to losing anothing part to the show. Angus T. Jones, who plays Jake the Half man, came out and critically claimed that the show is "filth." Angus keeps filling his pockets with the money he gets from his acting but he is kind of ashamed of it. He doesnt like the show because it is mean minded especially towards the females in the show. I can see that because all of the shows have to do with being with one woman one show and a different another. Many say that the director has dug himself such a deep hole that he much just have to rename the show to One man featuring John Cryer. I watch this show and see nothing wrong since it is a comedy after all.

Prius Recall
Toyota has recalled 670,000 older Priuses in the U.S due to potentially defective steering. And 350,000 of those same Priuses were also recalled for a bad waterpump that could force the car to start Stalling. Not only the U.S. is having recall for these but there are 2,8 million around the world that are getting recalled. The Priuses that are getting recalled are from 2003 through 2009. In 2009 Toyota also recalled these same cars for a acceleration problem. So are these Hybrid cars really worth having if they have all these problems?

Climbing the Sears Tower
On sunday, November 4th, a 31 year old man was the first person with a bionic leg to climb the 103 story tower. Zac Vawter was part of a charity event to raise money for rehab institute of Chicago. His leg is controlled by the power of his mind. I think that that is very cool. The climb took him 45 minutes to complete and he was pumped after. It is truely amazing that you can control you fake leg with your mind and being strong enough to make it all the way to the top is great for this guy.
