  • Food Crisis

    We are seeing the consequences of food shortages already in developing areas. As of this post, Haiti can also be added to the list of nations in unrest due to food shortages. One may wonder how long the developed world has to alleviate this problem before unrest reaches their cities. Perhaps dad’s garden plan for […]

  • Class Project Survey

    I need help with a project for a class. I am doing a survey with college students in mind. Answer this question “What are you going to do after you graduate?” in at least a sentence.

  • Today is Cheethursday

    Cheetah Guard. If you lie, It wants to see a liter cup right in the sky. Somewhere along the line it will make a flyer for you. Your own personal cheetah. Someone to guard your lair. Someone who’s there. Feeling Capone I’d like to own Fur and bone guarding my throne better than a fevered […]
