Pictures can sometimes mean more than words*

*Post #3*

Hello blogoversians:) Today my post will not have many words in it. I was looking through my blackberry and I noticed I have some really cool pictures that I want to put on my blog. So here it goes!:)

Okay, so most of these pictures have words on them but they still have meaning. I bet that without the picture, you wouldn't pay attention. Pictures give words life and colour. Imagine what the world would be like without pictures...empty?normal?unbearable? you decide*

The great computer speller checker

Hello to all of my viewers (I am up to 6 :D) and to my brilliant new follower : Loulou! Thank-you so much for you're beautiful comment:) And congrats on your 30 followers!

 

Please note that this is only my second post so please feel the need to scroll down and read my first post.

 

So I was in an English lesson and we received a worksheet regarding a computer spelling checker. So my English teacher Mr. Harty gives us this poem:

 

Spelling Checker:

 
Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

So basically the lesson he was trying to teach us is that a spelling checker doesn't correct your English? Oh Well...computers can't to EVERYTHING! I wish they could. Someone should invent a computer that does you're homework for you. I will personally create it myself....Once I get a degree in IDSL and become a computer nerd. That reminds me, I found out that our computer technicians play star wars in their offices all day and that they have access to all our email! Do we have no privacy anymore?

10 Amazing Facts:

I honestly didn't know any of these facts. I bet you guys didn't know that if you swallow 3 times in one breath your hiccups will go away or that if u say cucumber three times you will stop sneezing. I know it's weird. It doesn't always work so I guess it's no a fact but I think it's pretty cool.

1. If you yelled for eight years, seven months and six days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. That is a lot of yelling!
2. If you fart consistently for six years and nine months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
3. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories per hour!
4. Right handed people live, on average , nine years longer than left handed people.
5. Believe it or not, the only place sharks will not eat other sea animals, is what I call the ocean hospital. Small fish will eat diseases right off the sharks, even in their gills and mouth!
6. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
7. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first class. Think of what two olives would do!
8. Most toothpaste you brush your teeth with has seaweed in it....
9. It’s physically impossible for you to lick your elbow!
10. Last of all, In a traditional Greek restaurant it is impolite to not dance on the tables and not break the plates!

Have you ever Googled Google?

Try it and see what comes up. It's not that interesting but Wikipedia gives this long and boring article on the History of Google and how it was made and BLAH blah BLAH.....no one cares. I came across this weird saying:
"YouTube My space and I'll Google your Yahoo"
Isn't just hilarious?
The things you come across while searching for a search engine...WOW!

7 random questions to ask someone when you are bored:

1. If Justin Bieber walked through you're door right now what would you say?
2. If I was falling off a cliff would you save me?
3. Would you marry me or kill me?
4. What's your favourite colour jelly bean?
5. If you could be eating anything right now what would it be?
6. If you could choose two celebs to thumb wrestle each other, who would they be?
7. What would be the first thing you would do if you found out that animals could talk?

Blog Intoduction

Hello people of the blogoverse:)I am sorry to those who have come across my blog already (the 4 views I've had) and haven't seen a post. My blog is still 'under construction'. Well, it's not completely finished, though I decided to post to get my blog started and to get into the flow of blogging.

As you can see my blog is still very plain with no followers and less than five views, but if you are reading this post right now then welcome to my fantabulous blog called: 'Ramblings of a Crazy Teen.' I am only thirteen years old so my grammar isn't the best. I hope that you will learn to bear with me!

I basically created this blog because I am passionate about writing. I'm in grade 8 and my English teacher doesn't take a very big interest in me or my writing. So I figured if I created a blog, everyone would see my writing. My blog won't only be about me, I hope to develop an advice column as my blog grows and there will be articles to do with various things. Some of you may recognise my writing if you've seen my previous blog, but I wanted to start blogging fresh again. So here begins the post....

U would think that whoever made these fears would at least put a bit of consideration into it. I wonder if there are fears for absolutely anything. What about the fear of ducks giving birth to an ostrich.....I wonder what THAT fear would be named.

The Royal Wedding

I know that this topic will probably bore you but I just wanted to add a few comments to this subject. The wedding happened a few weeks ago and I still hear people talking about it. I think that it's very exciting and cool that they got married but I live in South Africa.....so I don't really understand why we are all so excited and obsessed. It doesn't have anything to do with us. Correct me if I'm mistaken. My school was lucky enough to watch the wedding on TV in our indoor centre (not that I was paying much attention) and I for one am not really interested. I just wanted to see Kate's wedding dress. I must say that it was fabulous. It was so beautiful and it suited her so well. I would like to see how many of you out there actually take an interest in this. Please comment:)
