So Bad It's Good?

I ran across this online review today....

Five stars for not receiving the product you thought you'd receive?

Maybe the customer thought the picture was bad? Or perhaps he or she for some reason thought that the stars rating system is like the Science Olympiad scoring system, in which the winner receives the least points?

Too Easy

Yet more math class wisdom.
 We were working a problem from an AMC 10 test yesterday, and I saw this response.

This is seriously sometimes actually a good way to know if your answer is wrong, though!

The Foolproof Answer

My father signed me up for an online math class without explicitly telling me until roughly an hour before the class began. Somewhat surprisingly, it was okay, and I think I may have even discovered the foolproof answer to everything. Not 42, for you Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reader(s).

BEHOLD

More Books

While writing the script for the play to be featured on this blog, I encountered an unexpected case of writer's block. Because of this, I would like to tell you about two interesting books I found while researching content for the play.

In case you can't read upside-down letters, it says "NSA Family Encyclopedia"

1. NSA Family Encyclopedia- I'm pretty sure this isn't actually from the NSA, but the book never tells you what NSA stands for, which is pretty suspicious in itself. But then when you turn to the second page, it says this:

Dun dun dun.

2. First Grade Reading Textbook- This textbook is for the most part  a normal reading textbook. But then, there is a piece of music in there that is comparable to the French Horn parts of the music played by Symphonic Band. I mean, look at it! It has THREE sharps in its key signature! And this is a FIRST GRADE TEXTBOOK! Music education these days!

Sure, first graders should get harder music than middle schoolers. 

Webkinz-Runescape Crossover?

Sorry, there are two Whimsy Dragon pictures. I can't do anything about it since the Whimsy Dragon pictures don't show up at all when I try to edit the post. Just bear with it.

After the mysterious Webkinz tag was found by me, I went on my Webkinz account and discovered that the Webkinz Travel agency had been removed from the game. Along with the removal of the need for buying tickets to the island thingy and the entire Webkinz spa, the Whimsy Dragon travel agency clerk( I can't remember her name) was also removed.

  

On Runescape recently, the quest One of a Kind was released. With this update, Celestial Dragons were released. 

I noticed that the Whimsy Dragons and the Celestial Dragons slightly resembled each other, and this gave me an idea for a crossover fanfiction, where the former clerk of the Webkinz Travel Agency was actually removed because she was sucked into Runescape and became either a Celestial Dragon or a pink Dragonkin*. However, unlike Connor, I do not feel that I  currently have the writing capability to write a good Runescape fanfiction. If any of you wants to borrow the idea and can submit a decent rough draft to me, I will let you have the idea. If not, then I will keep this idea for later.

See? They both have blue spots, a somewhat pink color, and sort-of similar paws.

Celestial Dragon

Whimsy Dragon

* The identity of a Dragonkin is a possibility since the abbreviation of Webkinz is Kinz, and assuming that Kinz is a plural noun, the singular form of Kinz is Kin. Kin has been used as an abbreviation for Dragonkin by the Runescape staff before, so the draconic travel clerk could be both a Webkinz and a Dragonkin. See? It all adds up.

EDUCATION
Determined student returns to school only a day after coma and is injured once again. School officials are suspiciously oblivious.

Middle school students are preparing for a prestigious science competition. One particularly popular event is the new "Shove Ping Pong Balls and Batteries Into a Plastic Bag Tied to a Robot" marathon. We spoke to one student, asking him about this wonderfully educational event. "DON'T STEP ON ANYTHING! Oh, and yeah, I really like this event," he told us as he triumphantly deposited a battery into the plastic bag on his team's robot. "Our robot has a 100% success rate, especially when I get to push the things into the bag! When I don't get to push the things in, it still has a 100% success rate 40% of the time!". The competition will be in about a month and a half.

Some Books

     Spring break is coming up soon for me, and one of the main things I want to do is to read.(Also sleep, work with my Arduino, make origami, and write a Mobius News post.)

Because I often like book recommendations, I thought I'd give you reader(s) some books that I have found interesting or think might be interesting but have not read yet.

Dun dun dun...

Today I found this near my computer:

It says "Love Monkey".

In case you can't recognize it, it is a Webkinz tag. There's nothing strange about it to you, but it definitely deserves the sinister music in the title. For several reasons:

1. I don't have a Love Monkey- I have never even seen a Love Monkey before in real life. Therefore, I could not have ever gotten this tag. 

2. All my Webkinz tags are stashed in my bookshelf- This tag was not at its spot near my computer beforehand either. It has also been years since I last played Webkinz, so there would be no need for it anyways.

3. Even if Ganz mistakenly gave me this tag with my Love Frog or Lion, then I shouldn't have it anyways- I gave away my Love Frog's tag years ago. If this tag came with any of my other Webkinz, then I would have known since I looked at and used their tags often. When I put my Love Lion's code into my Webkinz account, I got a lion. Not a monkey. It's not my Lion's tag.
