Fascinating....

wow, i can't wait to go see it!
I was in D.C. a while ago and I wish that we could have had time to see that!
I watched the video and it was cool! Have you read the Magic Tree House #14 'Day of the Dragon King' book? If you really like this News Bite I would recommend that book,and by the way the Author is Mary Pope Osborne.
I agree...it is really neat! I WISH I COULD GO!
