People in England are very excited because the bones of Richard III, a famous English king, have been found. The bones were found under a parking lot in England last year. Scientists checked the DNA, and it matched the DNA of Richard III’s descendants. Shakespeare wrote a play about Richard III and made him a villain. In the play, Richard III killed many people including two boy princes. Now some people think that the play was not true. They don’t think Richard III was such a bad king. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Did you know that you can get sick from eating potatoes? At one elementary school the other day, children got sick 30 minutes after eating unripe potatoes. They had grown the potatoes at their school and were cooking and eating them in class. Potatoes can be dangerous if they do not grow long enough, if they are still green, or if they are not cooked enough. The leaves and the stem should never be eaten because they contain a poison. Adults don’t really need to worry about store-bought potatoes, however.  Those potatoes are ripe, and even the green ones contain so little poison that they aren’t dangerous. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
