Did you ever open up a container from your refrigerator and find thefood inside all covered in blue, fuzzy mold? Yuck! But did you know you can grow it yourself and study it?
What you’ll need to study this stuff is two slices of bread (any kind that your mom has is fine), two peanut butter or jelly jars with lids, some water, a piece of cloth and a rubber band. Don’t forget you can ask your mom for this stuff if you can’t find it.
Cats are so common in our society that sometimes we take their presence for granted. But, did you know that in Ancient Egypt, cats were so revered that harming a cat was punishable by death?
One legend tells of an instance when a Persian king attacked the Egyptian city of Pelusium—he was well aware of how the Egyptians adored their feline friends. So, he ordered his soldiers to search the city and take any cat that they found. During the next attack, the soldiers each held up one of the live cats as they approached the Egyptian borders. The Egyptians were so concerned about the well-being of their cats that they surrendered their city to Persia!
The short quizzes that have appeared in the recent issues of the Tribune have been very popular. Many of the Chevron Cars have taken the following quiz.

Try to answer these interesting questions before you look at the answers.
The vault, balance beam, uneven bars and floor routine. If you follow the high-powered, exciting and beautiful sport of gymnastics you are probably familiar with these terms. These are four events that women gymnasts strive to master. And, if you watched the women’s gymnastics competition during the 1996 Olympics Games you got a taste of how exciting and challenging this sport can be. Imagine the excitement and thrills that lie ahead for seven young gymnasts on their way to Sydney, Australia to compete in the 2000 Olympic Games. These young women are practicing their jumps, flips, turns, spins, and tumbles hoping to vault themselves into a gold medal this year. But, what happened during the Olympic Games four years ago that resulted in the US women’s team being referred to as…”The Magnificent Seven”.

There are many fascinating castles that have been built in the world. But few have the long and interesting history of the famous Tower of London in England. Built over 900 years ago in England, the Tower of London has housed, protected and imprisoned hundreds of people in its long history.
Mystery is one of the most undefinable yet essential aspects of life. There is so much to wonder about, and so little time to fathom what we are wondering about. In the mean time, here is a simple, yet indispensable way of bringing a touch mystery into your everyday life.
An earlier article discussed interesting information about the origins of the first Olympic Games in Greece in 776 BC. The article concluded with the Romans gaining control of Greece and ultimately canceling the Olympic Games in 393 AD. The ancient Olympic Games actually lasted for 1170 years! But then…there was a long gap with no Olympic Games. In fact, there were no games held for over 1500 years.
We actually have two interesting questions for you…if you do not know the answers try to ask your friends and see if they know the answers.
How did the Teddy Bear get its name?
Athletes from all over the world are competing in Olympic trials for the 2000 Olympic Games in order to win a coveted spot on their countries Olympic team. Some athletes train and practice for almost their entire lives in order to get a chance to go to the Olympics and bring home a medal for themselves and their country. If you watched the Olympic trials on Thursday, Aug.10 you caught a glimpse of the excitement that surrounds these games. In the 100-meter butterfly swimming trial Jenny Thompson touched the wall a split-second faster than Dana Torres-two swimmers who are very familiar to the Olympic Games. The two swimmers were even for almost the entire race when Thompson touched the wall at 57.78 seconds and Torres at 57.86 seconds.
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could be in charge of your house?! Maybe you’d eat cookies for breakfast, play video games all day, ride your bike around the kitchen or make your little sister clean your room. The possibilities are endless! Jut, Marty, Nick and Gus are four brothers who get to do just that in When the Boys Ran the House by Joan Carris.
When their mom gets sick and has to stay in bed and their dad is away on a business trip, the boys are left in charge. But after a swarm of bees invade their kitchen, the cat gets a spray-paint job and a weird smell takes over their living room, Jut wonders if he’s really able to manage the house and three younger brothers.
Here is a great example of how a simple idea can turn into a monumental event. Have you ever heard of the Ironman Triathlon? Today, this event is covered by all of the major television networks and Sports Illustrated. But, it wasn’t always so popular. In fact, the event is only 21 years old and it started out so small, that no one knew about it.
