Issue 5

Astro-Barrier, Bean Counters, and Ballistic Biscuit now give 1 coin for every 10 points you get. Sled Racing now gives you 20 coins for first place and 10 coins for second place. A good game of Astro-Barrier or Ballistic Biscuit can now give you over 250 coins!

When asked for comment, Club Penguin staff said "Cool! More coins! I'm gonna try to get a big screen TV from the new catalog!"

## Featured Area

### **THE LOUNGE**

Above the excitement of the Night Club lies a casual room for penguins to hang out. It's known as The Lounge.

The Lounge is a newer addition to Club Penguin. Originally, the Night Club was only one floor, but we realized that penguins can't just dance all day, they need a place to rest their flippers, so a second floor was built.

Of course, we can't mention the Lounge without mentioning Astro-Barrier, the popular arcade game. It's a very simple game to learn, but it has more secrets in it than any other game currently in Club Penguin, including ten secret levels, with more levels on the way.

### **RIDDLES**

Answer on Comics Page

A penguin goes to the doctor and tells him he broke every bone in his body. The doctor tells him thats impossible. The doctor gives the penguin an easy test. He says touch you head. The penguin does so and yells OW in pain. He continues saying OW for his legs, ribs, and even his flippers and the doctor says he will perform an X-ray.

The doctor comes back and says "I have good news and bad news, the good news is that you didnt breal every bone in your body, the bad news is..."

What has the bad news?
(Hint: he did break something.)

### **POETRY**

Eating by the Cafe on a nice sunny morning
Swimming and spashing with all my friends
Being nice to others, never get in Trouble
Our fun Never, Never ends

- by Snuffy

Donuts are good, donuts are great
Just like the one that I just ate.
Jelly-filled our sugar-glazed.
Just take a bite and you'll be amazed.
Two bucks, three bucks,
Whatever you can, eat them in trucks.
Eat them in the house or on the go
They're so good you can't say no.

Hello there My little friend

I cannot fly. I Could not fly.
All of the other birds go by.

But I can swim
Better than him.
I think it is better to fly,
I sometimes want to cry,
When the day goes by.

But I have my friends.
I dont want that to end!
With Smithy, Norp and Bang,
Those are the friends in which i hang.

Snuggle up penguins!
Its freezing out there!
Snuggle up penguins!
From your toes to your hair.
Snuggle up penguins!
Don't put up a fight.
Snuggle up penguins!
So you can be warm on a cold winters night!
