Today I am going to be talking about a book called, 'The Three Musketeers". The Three Musketeers was written by, "Alexander Dumas". The book itself is pretty long with a total of 700 pages. "The Three Musketeers" is also the longest book I've ever remembered (as far as I know of). It talks about a man named, "d'Artagnan" (who I am going to refer to as "the main character" because his name takes too long to write) left his family in Gascony(small place in France) to go to Paris. The main character wants to join the ranks of a musketeer but has very much learning to do. Before leaving he receives three things from his father. A sword, eleven crowns (currency), and a horse. While making his way to Paris d'Artagnan stumbles upon a stranger who insults the looks of his horse. Because of this he challenges the man to a duel but is unfairly attacked by the stranger's friends.
The host of the party takes d'Artagnan down to a dungeon where he was kept unconscious for a short while. While unconscious the stranger takes d'Artagnan's items and leaves unnoticed. When he is woken up by the host d'Artagnan swears to find the stranger and retrieve his objects, which include a recommendation letter by his father to join the Musketeers. Fortunately for him, d'Artagnan has made a name for himself and is undoubtedly known as the son of his father who is generally famous among commoners. Arriving in Paris, d'Artagnan meets many Musketeers and listens to their conversations about women, life, and battle. That is when M. de Treville (commander of musketeers) finds him and rights a recommendation letter in place of his father's.
D'Artagnan thanks M. De Treville for the letter and leaves fast to the king. However, while running he meets the best Musketeers known around Paris, they are called "The Inseperables" and have a very good reputation. Unfortunately, D'Artagnan gets on their bad sides and challenges them all to duels. Athos, Pathos, and Aramis ("The Inseparables) all accept and schedule times to fight. The first duel is Athos and D' Artagnan and they start off strong. However, Athos tells D' Artagnan he has company and invites Pathos and Aramis at his side. That's when all three of the Musketeers get confused. Each of them was supposed to fight at certain times and it would be unfair to go 3 against 1. Eventually, the four become friends and this is known by M. De Treville. That is as far as I've gotten in the book because I am only supposed to read 7 chapters.

In fact, I'm going to write some stuff for the book after this post. Anyway, because this post was supposed to only be about the book and Google News I've decided to start now. Remember that post I made a few days ago about an asteroid that's supposedly going to hit Earth? Well, today is February 4th, the day that asteroid gets closest to Earth and I am not scared anymore. You see, the story I read specifically states, "Our calculations indicate that asteroid 2002 AJ129 has no chance — zero — of colliding with Earth on Feb. 4 or anytime over the next 100 years". As you can see, the asteroid should hit us at all. At around 4:30 P.M will be the closest the asteroid will get to Earth, according to NASA. If NASA is a space program then I would assume that they are very accurate with their work.
This next story is called, "China accuses the US of 'Cold War mentality' over nuclear policy". The U.S.A Military is concerned about the size of their nuclear bombs saying they are too small. That is why some of the bombs they make will be less in size. Apparently, other countries like Russia, China, Iran, and most likely North Korea have already taken this approach and are possible threats to the U.S. For some reason Iran's foreign minister has claimed it brought the world closer to annihilation. Just a quick tip for the U.S military, maybe you should target people who say stuff like that because those people could be the reason the U.S falls (if it does). I guess China doesn't want America to feel as though everyone is a threat, at least to them.
