World's Most Expensive Banana

BANANA ART
The world's most expensive banana and piece of duct tape has been sold at an art auction in New York. In a normal world, a single banana costs around one dollar and a roll of duct tape is about 3ish. But add them together and stick them to a wall, and apparently you're looking at almost 10 million dollars.
Yep a cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Justin Sun, just dropped millions on a certificate that gives him the authority to duct-tape a banana to a wall and call it Comedian. The conceptual art piece was created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan back in 2019, and has become famous for being, well, thought provoking.
So what does Comedian's owner plan to do with the art? Well, we're not totally sure what the long-term plans are. But short-term, he said he plans on eating it.
ICELAND VOLCANO
A volcano in Iceland has erupted for the seventh time in a year. It's on the Reykjanes Peninsula near Iceland's capital and it's spewed fountains of lava and smoke into the sky. Until recently, the volcano had actually been lying dormant for about 800 years and experts say it's likely to stay active for decades or possibly even centuries.
COMPUTER KID
Caleb has always had a fascination with taking things apart and how things have worked on the inside. When he was six he had friend who had a broken phone. So he said he would try and fix is for free. He was surprisingly good at it and decided he could turn it into a business. So that's what he did, he started his very own phone repair business called Techline. Caleb next set his sights on fixing the E waste problem by fixing old tech and sending it overseas so it didn't just end up in landfill. He sends the devices to churches, orphanages and other organisations in developing countries that need help. He says its been great to help people across the world and that its made a real impact on the lives of many people.
KIDS NOSES
The Queensland Children's Hospital has released a list of the top 10 things that kids stick up their noses. The list includes includes beads, Lego, balls, seeds, nuts, toys, buttons, crayons, magnets, and batteries. While most of the time kids don't need to go to the hospital to have these removed, experts say that sometimes things can be a little more serious. So maybe lets not stick things up our nose.
