Person of the Week

Well I thought about having Samantha Larson be my person of the week for being the youngest non-native to climb Mt. Everest at 18 years of age, but it has been all over the news lately and I wanted my post about someone a little lesser known.
Then this kid came along - Jamison Stone - who claims to have killed a 1,051 pound wild pig. If true this is certainly not a worthy of being a person of the week, unless the enormous wild pig was on a rampage and threating the lives of children (it wasn't), but I thought the picture was worth sharing. Young Jamison will no doubt grow up to be an overweight, sweaty, beer drinking southern stereotype so hopefully he is enjoying 5 seconds of fame. Oh yeah he also said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot. How pleasant that must have been for the pig.
So the title of Person of the Week goes to 14 year old Catlin Snaring for wining the National Geographic Bee. She is only the second girl to win this title and answered every single question she was asked correctly throughout the bee. The question she won the competition with was "What city, divided by a river of the same name, was the imperial capital of Vietnam?" -- And in case you were wondering, Hue is the answer.
