Steve Jobs Obituary


         On October 5th, 2011, the world lost one of the greatest minds in history. Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple and Pixar, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer, but although he is gone, his legacy lives on. Steve Jobs revolutionized the way we watch movies, use our phones, and listen to music. He has touched all of our lives. Many of us would be lost without our iPhones, iPods, and MacBooks. Not to mention that most of us have seen a Pixar movie. We have Steve Jobs to thank for all of these great inventions.
         Not only has he changed the world through his inventions, but he has also changed many lives by being a genuinely nice person. Many of you may remember “project red,” in which Apple sold red products and gave a percentage of the profits to charity. Through his inventions, philanthropy, and genius, Steve Jobs truly has “put a dent in the universe,” and he will be greatly missed.-By James Maguire

Paul the Octopus Obituary

By Alec B. 
Paul the Oracle Octopus died in his German aquarium on October 26th. Paul became famous when he famously picked all of Germany’s wins in the 2010 World Cup, along with accurately predicting the wins of the 2008 Euro Cup. Paul was originally from England and was supposed to be the sponsor of the English 2018 World Cup bid. He has been given the posthumous title of Lord Protector of England, as well as honorary citizenship from Spain, France, Italy and Croatia. His trainer, Etienne Roquain, stated that following the World Cup, Paul became sick but died peacefully. He will be missed.
