Hey everybody! Julius Brown here with another exciting column just for you.

This week, we’re diving into some cool topics that I think you’ll love. Let’s get started!

Memes: The Internet’s Funniest Videos

Have you ever seen a short, funny video online that made you laugh out loud? That’s probably a meme! One popular meme is called “You Need to Leave.” It wasn’t meant to be funny, but someone caught it on camera, and now it makes everyone giggle.

Many memes show people making silly mistakes. There’s one where a kid runs full speed towards what he thinks is the entrance to a trampoline park, but – oops! – it’s actually a window. Don’t worry, though. It’s happened to me too!

Music That’s Got Everyone Buzzing

Music is always changing, and there are some super catchy tunes out there right now. “Can You Hear” is a song you might recognize from lots of videos. Then there’s the “Gigachad theme,” which plays whenever a really muscular person appears on screen. Pretty funny, right?

If you’re into exploring new music, check out a genre called Phonk. One of the most popular Phonk songs is “Murder In My Mind.” Give it a listen and see what you think!

World Records That’ll Blow Your Mind

Did you know there’s a dog that’s only 9.14 centimeters tall? It’s true! Her name is Pearl F. Selmer, and she holds the world record for the smallest living dog.

Here’s another crazy record: Josef Salek held the abdominal plank position (kind of like a push-up, but you stay still) for over 9 hours! Can you imagine holding that pose for even 5 minutes?

That’s all for this week, kids. Remember to keep learning, stay curious, and have fun!
