common problem. In fact, almost a third of the U.S. population has sleepwalked at some point in their lives.
The actress Jennifer Aniston is one of them. Jennifer has set off the burglar alarm in her own house
by walking around while she was asleep.
Set sail in a bathtub!
Have you ever dreamed of going on a really big adventure? One man has crossed the
Irish Sea... in a bathtub! Yes, you heard that right. Mervyn Kincaid has sailed from Ireland to
Scotland in a bathtub with a small engine attached. Even better, Mervyn has raised a lot of
money for charity. His friends and family have all made donations.

Oh no! I hit "send"!

Have you ever pushed "send" on a text message and then realized you've just sent a text to the wrong person?
Hopefully not! But Burt Brown has. This 30-year-old software engineer has just sent 30 cute pictures of
his baby to his boss instead of his mom! Luckily, his boss is a good guy and understands the mistake.

B Read the news reports. Write True or False.

1. Mervyn Kincaid didn't use a boat for his journey.
