I’m turning left, right and then I fall off. The rubber handles hit into my stomach, my face hits into the ground. Man down! Wow! What’s happening here? So fast, and so painful.
It was a hot, sizzling, sunny day. It was on the block of my Grandmothers house in the U.S, riding my friend’s fast, clean bike when it all happened.
I fell of his bike when I was riding it down the block, I was making a really hard turn. I was really injured. I felt like I was broken. I limped to my grandmother’s house.” What happened”, they said. My aunt was there to.”Aaahhh”, I moaned.
I lied in bed until my mom came… she was at the hair dresser. When she arrived she was really worried. She checked if I had any broken or injured bones. We thought that the part of my body under my ribs was injured. I stayed in bed for approximately 20 min. My mom, grandmothers and my aunt were so relieved, because I did not have any serious injury.
Meanwhile outside, my brother and my friends gave my friends, my brother and my enemy a bloody nose a bloody nose because he made to much difficulties and he is so aggravating. My brother came in, and the annoying fool went to his house. Everyone was calling our house, because of this. My friend stayed outside.
“Thank god”, my mom says in great relief. I get better and we all eat our lunch. Everyone is happy except for the annoying kid. It’s not our fault.

I’m waiting for the main hunter of the pack so we can start our hunt. I see the mighty, bright campfire cool down from the previous night. There is poison oak behind the rock I am sitting on. I can hear the birds chirping close by, the trotting hooves of deer, hyena cries and the growling of boars. The high trees that look like monster are high behind the mountains with jagged peaks. The sun has blazing fire. I can see puffy clouds all over the vast sky. I now can see my fellow hunter come; he is still far. We will start soon.
Today my partner and I have to hunt deer; it will not be big, because we have to carry it back to the campsite. We are doing this, because we are starving and our families back in the campsite are starving. We will work as a group, to hunt our prey down, but first we have to find the deer.
I grunt to my hunter. He quietly walks to the other side of the area of grass where we are looking for a deer, so he can search for the deer. I am searching for a deer around where I am now. After a long time of searching, we find a deer. The deer is small like we want it, but we still need to think right and we have to do this quietly. I sneak up behind it, I take my time so it will not hear or sense me. My partner stays in the distance where the deer can’t see him. Now I pick up my spear and with a quick and sudden move I try to kill the deer, but I miss and the deer trots towards my hunter. So here is the part were my hunter comes in and gives the deer a powerful stab in the neck. It is now dead. We wait for it to die.
We butcher the meat and go back to the campsite. When we get there every one is happy, but after a while we realize that we need fire wood; so we get started. We first have to find a place to chop wood. We then find a place to chop, but all of a sudden a jaguar pops up so we climb a tree. Ok, now I am scared. This jaguar is huge and fierce. I think this tree is going to fall, it doesn’t feel good. This really sucks. If I jump down I am going to be eaten up and if I stay in on the tree it will fall and I will die. That is the last time I think. Too bad for us the tree falls, because the jaguar and our weight. We are now on the floor and the jaguar is ready to attack. We are too tired and hurt to get up and run….That is the last of us.
Nobody finds our body, but even if they do they will not bury us. This will start when. Neanderthals came to this world. We do not know of such thing as to bury people that have died.

Caves

Do you ever wonder what a cave is or how it is formed? Or even which cave is the longest. Caves are one of the most interesting landforms from many landforms.
A cave is a natural underground void. Caves used to be primitive shelter and religion sites, but now they are either just sites or an exploring area.
Caves are made by carbonic acid weathering soft rock, such as limestone or dolomite. These rocks turn into karst rock in time. Karst rock is very soft rock, so it would be weathered easily; the carbonic acid (also known as h2co3) weathers the rock and in time would form into a cave. There is a process of solution, where there are oil reservoirs and lots of pressure, gas will seep up and form carbonic acid. It would weather the karst rock from below.
When water passes through caves it erodes the sediments and takes them with it. If it deposits it in the middle of the cave it will form clay, silt and sand. It can also deposit them in a river or sea.
Many caves are long in length, but the longest one is the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, U.S.A. To be formed in that way it probably was formed in an angle.
Now you know about caves. What they are, how they are formed, what they deposit (what that can turn into) and the great lengthiness of the Mammoth Cave.

Farmer John was just going to milk the cows, when he saw aliens cutting the cow’s heads and taking their brains out.
“Oh my God! There’s a green baby taking the cows brains!” the farmer cries out.
“Why do those hairy apes always come in the way and ruining all the fun?” the alien says.
The farmer got his gun, “You are going down green thing. Boohoo for you!”
“I don’t think so,” the alien replied as he shot a dart that made the farmer sleep. “That baboon had no chance against me.” The alien looked around as he saw a plane come speeding down, he got hit. The plane was full of blood and skulls. It was a military plane, nobody knows where it came from.
“Aahh, my guts, I feel it them coming out of me, I also feel my brain getting smashed.”
“What happened?” the farmer said when he woke up. “I can’t remember a thing, and why is there plane wreckage in front of me. I should clean it up tomorrow.”
The next morning, the farmer and his dog, Sparks, went outside and saw the Headless Dead Man.
“What in graces is that!” the farmer exclaimed.
“Rough, rough!” the dog barked.
“You shall pay for your unforgiving attitude and…You didn’t invite me to your birthday, Even if I didn’t know about it. That’s why you shall die, hahaha!” the Headless Dead Man said.
“Oh no!” the farmer said. The next day the police and investigators came and found both the farmer and the dog. Their heads were missing.

I think initials, sometimes, would mean something. For example mine would be NE, and I lived in the (n)orth and in the (e)ast. Mom mom also tells me to eat more, so NE would stand for never eat (axaduration). I wouldn't forget the best for last, but I am not going to put it. My first and last name.

Submitted February 18th -- misplaced in the system.
1. What direction is Nome from Anchorage "as the crow flies?" ("As the crow flies" is an expression that means in a straight line from point to point.) North west.
2. The journey from Takotna to Cripple will take you through what checkpoint? Ophir.
3. The journey from Kaltag to Unalakleet will take you in which direction? South west
4. Although the journey from Anchorage to Nome is mostly northwest, there are some parts of the trail that will take a musher northeast. Between which checkpoints on the trail will the mushers head northeast? Ophir to Cripple and Anchorage to eagle River.
5. As you check in at Skwenta, Mt. McKinley is about 50 miles due north of where you are. You then travel the 45 miles to Finger Lake. As you check in at Finger Lake, Mt. McKinley will be in which direction? North
6. According to the map, which checkpoint is farthest east? Wasilla
7. Which consecutive checkpoints appear to be the farthest from each other? Kaltag to Unalakleet.
8. Which consecutive checkpoints appear to be closest to each other? Anchorage to Eagle River
Something to think about: How could a compass and a map save a life in the Alaskan wilderness? If you need to go north and you don’t have a compass or map you will not know where to go.

E=mc²
Biography of Albert Einstein
Written by Naim
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March, 14, 1879. Einstein was a Jewish scientist who became famous for his equation E=mc². He was a famous physicist.
He first went to school at Tuitpold, Gymnasium in Munich. Einstein did not get good grades when he was young, but he was smart, because he was too busy thinking and inventing instead of memorizing. He was a very weird person. When he was young he tied a cape to his back and jumped out of the window trying to prove that humans can not fly.
Later his family and he moved to Italy and he went to school in Aura, Switzerland. He trained to become a teacher in 1901 and got married in 1903 to Mileva Marie. They had one daughter and two sons. Marie and Einstein divorced in 1919. Albert then married his cousin Elsa the same year he got divorced.
He received his doctors PhD in 1905, that is when he came up with his equation e=mc², energy=mass*constant.
He became a professor in many places, one was in Princeton. He became an American citizen when he migrated to the U.S.A. in 1945. After World War two, he was offered the presidency in Palestine, but he declined.
He proved lots of Newton's theories. Newton said that if you place (for example a cup of milk) on a table and spin the table the milk will fall. Newton said it is, because of the table moving, Einstein said it is, because of the cup moving. Albert was right. That is just one of many things he proved. Like the one about light. It does not matter how far you are if you have a lamp or flashlight in you hand. The light will reach and object in range in the same time. There is another one about light. Newton said that light goes in one ray. Einstein said light bounces of objects. You can not see how that works, because it happens in the speed of light.
Einstein died on April, 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey. His wife had already died in 1936. He made a good difference.

“All in,” one of the cockroaches playing poker said.
“I’ll put in twenty three ants and all,” the other said.
“Fine, you will regret it, and play backs remember that.”
They kept on playing, losing money and gaining money. Bob the farmer, Money Roach and their former friend Tehama just wouldn’t stop, until danger happened.
“Hey, I am broke, you cheated!” the first one barked. He was called Money Roach, because he was rich and always got his way.
“No I didn’t, you son of a roach!” the second said. He was called Bob the farmer, because he lives in farms.
“Hey, break it up, you little kids,” the mobster said.
“Who you?” Money roach said.
“It’s none of you business. You only have to know one thing, I am better than you!” Mobster Roach.
“Oh I can do whatever you want me to do. That’s how much I’m better than you,” Money Roach said.
“Okay then, I have a mission for. You’ve got to drive around in my car and you can’t let anyone see you, so you should scoot down and drive. Make sure no one sees you,” Mobster Roach said.
“Okay, okay I got it. Were should I go?” Money asked.
“No where. Just drive around.” Mobster said.
The next morning Money Roach went outside and took the keys of Mobster’s car. He opened the door of the silver roach buggy car and started driving. “This is easier than 1, 2,”
“Sssqqquuuaasshhhh!”A human foot smashed the front of the car. “Thank God I didn’t die,” Money said. “Think again,” a pedestrian said, as the human smashed him.
In 3008 the Money Roach came back as the human and the human came back as the cockroach, and the story went over again, but this time everything was the opposite. It was also more civilized and they were not morons.

I am from the forest behind my old house, I am from the Arab neighborhoods in Dearborn. I am from the rushing roller coaster in the distance from the road to Cedar Point, I am from the pink cotton candy from Switzerland, from the big bear seat in Great Bear Lounge, tall buildings in Downtown Chicago and indoor ski resort in Dubai. I am from the rocky pyramids in Egypt, I am from the playground with the weird monkey bars, I am from the steep hill.
I am from about 42 cousins, I am from the sister I have never seen, I am from the Granddads I have never seen, I am from the uncle I have never seen. I am from the smell of vanilla air freshener in my grandmother's house. I am from my aunt that always asks about me and my cousins. I am from the brother who I have never seen, I am from funny friends, I am from the studio of M.B.C.
I am from the leather couch in pre-school, I am from stories I write in class, I am from books I read, I am from lit log every day, I am from playing on the roof in school, I am from playing soccer for the league in A.C.S.
I am from fireworks on the 4th of July, I am from the trick or treats on Halloween. I am from waking up in the morning to eat when I fast and celebrations for birthdays.
I am from the shaking of the window from the gruesome bomb, I am from the disastrous boat ride, roller blading and biking down the drive way, and kite flies in front of the white house.
I am from spiders crawling in the basement in Virginia, I am from ice cream truck sounds passing by during the day, I am from watery slip and slides, I am from backyard sports, I am from the drive ways up and down, I am from the red beepers from restaurants in Washington D.C.
I am from Lebanon, I am from Michigan, I am from Ohio, I am from Idaho, I am from Dubai, I am from Switzerland, I am from Maraca, I am from Chicago, I am from Virginia, I am from D.C, Egypt, I am from Florida.
I am from everything, everywhere I am from and I am from every one who is from me.
Where are you from?

My brother and I took the stairs while my parents and my grandma took the elevator. We pressed every elevator button that we passed by, they stopped at every floor. They directly knew that it was us.
"What took you guys?" my brother and I asked.
"I think you know why," my mom said.
"I bet you don't know why," my dad said in a sarcastic tone.
"Really, what happened, what took you guys so long to get here?" I said in fake confusion.
"We know you guys pressed most of the elevator buttons. There was even an old lady waiting on the third floor as long as us."
"Sorry," I said.
"I still don't know what took you guys so long?" my bother said and laughed.
My parents were not that mad and the day finished like all the other days.
