5 Facts about Boeing

     If you don't memorize little useless facts (to some  people there not useless)about stuff like facts about airplane manufacturers, here are some of those facts.

  1. The 737, has carried over 16.8 billion passengers since it was availible to airlines. That's incredible since there are only around 7.5 billion people on earth(of course some people have flew on it more than once).

  2. Its been about 110 years since Wilbur and Orville Wright flew their glider 1 for the first time(2 other brothers in germany created the first gliders)... And in 1916 William E. Boeing created Boeing.



  3. The Boeing 787 reqiures around 2.3 million pieces(including seats and gear). That's a lot since the 737 only has 400 thousand.

  4. Everett Factory is the biggest building on earth by cubic feet and metres. Its about 472 million cubic feet(13.3 million cubic metres)





  5. Finally, this one is amazing. The Boeing can carry about 350-400 people but on time it carried 1,087 in the Operation Solomon Excavation. Even the biggest plane on Earth: The Airbus A380 can only carry around 850 people.

Why train tickets are so expensive

      Whenever you go on a cross-country train, it's usually expensive especially if it's luxurious. Well, if you want to know why they are so expensive I will tell you.   First, they need to pay their hundreds of thousands of players so that's a big chunk of the money for workers.   Second, they need to maintain the trains and the tracks. Take Amtrak as an example, they have millions of miles of track. And that's a lot of money for maintaining 300 million miles of track. Also, you have to think of the hundreds of trains they have.     Also, the company needs some money for themselves or else they won't earn money. There are more factors but I will leave them for another post.   So those are some of the factors. I hope you enjoyed the article and remember to check out some of our other posts.   

The top 3 places to eat in Singapore

     Singapore is a melting pot of cultures. One of the ways it manifests itself is in the cuisine. If you're going to Singapore, you'll surely need to eat. Today, I'll be looking at 3 good restaurants and food courts which I think top the list when it comes to food.  3. Toast Box     This simple restaurant offers a wide range of Singapore delicacies like Laksa and Kaya dishes. It's reasonable and tastes really good.     2. The Glass Onion     This is another great place to eat. If you stay at Hotel Mi, which is right next to this restaurant, you will get a extra selection of food. But if you are just going into it even though you are not staying at the hotel, you can still order but not the same food for the people in the hotel. Anyway, this restaurant is worth going to again. 1. Ion Orchard Food Opera     In the Ion Orchard Food Opera, there are tons of stalls, each with something unique to offer. It's a paradise for food lov...

Cool ideas for stories and whatever

       Cool plots and ideas for stories and whatever       Stories can sometime be hard to write, especially when you have to come up with fresh ideas and plots and that stuff. In this article, I will give you the ideas and plots for a story that might be a bestseller someday. 1. Fantastic!      Fantasy is a common choice when making books so why not make a small paragraph about fantasy ideas. First, make some character’s like ogres, dragons, elves or dwarfs. Make them live peacefully but suddenly an enemy shows up and they have to defeat that person. The enemy will usually be a dragon, an army of orcs and goblins and so on. Finally, make the peaceful peoples win and if you want to set it up for the next book, maybe you could make the last page with a messenger that comes to the arch enemy that nobody knows about. The arch enemy should be ten times as big as the normal enemy. 2. Science Fiction!     A lot of people love a ...
