A Little Anecdote from My Brother's Classroom...

A science teacher assigned her science classes a scientific project to do during the one-week winter recess. One boy from the class decided to do this really 'creative' project. First, he prepared 3 potted plants of the same type, labelled them A, B and C. Then, he put A as a control plant in a controlled situation, with sunshine, water and air. B is placed in the same condition, but with ROCK music playing in the room while C is placed in, also the same condition, but with CLASSICAL music playing in the room. He left the plants in each respective condition for 3 days. His hypothesis: Music affects plant growth. His results: Plant A - As it is grown in a controlled condition, its plant growth should be the normal rate. Plant B - ROCK music did not affect plant's growth. Plant C - CLASSICAL music did not affect plant's growth. In conclusion, music and its different genres does not affect plant growth. Thus, his hypothesis is rejected. I have never, ever thought about the...

Heavy Snow At Last...

The long anticipated heavy snow came at last yesterday evening. There were a few small snowfalls during January but didn't last long enough for me to take photos of :p so here goes some of them for the snow storm this time round :) Vast sea of snow collected at the park near my house Another shot of it with 18th Avenue( the name of the road that is ) My Dear Mommy Me posing with the tree and park benches and a chess table. There always are senior citizens playing chess in the park when the weather is ok. Not recently though. Nice house behind me :) A very high pile of snow cleared by the roadside Look how muddy the road has become after snowing! Melancholy bro with tree, shadows. Alright. That's a real pathetic snowman. Even worse than Far's! Snowflakes! It's snowing again as we're going home after finishing our errands for the day. From my house door. The walkway's been shovelled and cleared by the house owner and his son. That's all in one day. Someh...

My race?!!

for the general description: made up a race generally called the "treeshadows" called that because they are forest creatures who spend a lot of time on trees. Their villages are underground however they stay there during the winter and late autumn. Abilities: The main reason they are called treeshadows are that they can make themselves temporary translucent, that way they are hard to spot between the leaves. They are good and fast climbers and can cling at branches with hand, feet and tail as well. Features: they are coloured in varous earth colors there are only very few blackhaired ones. Very big ears they can literally hear everything up to the heartbeat of a mouse so its almost impossible to sneak up on them or even come close enough to see them ^^every treeshadow has a white line on the nosebridge, claws, and wear usual human clothings. They have a turnable big toe on their feet they could climb from a tree head down or write their name with their feet the tail is almost...
