The Australian crocodile is the largest crocodile in the world.It can grow up to seven metres long and the biggest can weigh up to 1000 kilos.It has only 2 muscles to open its mouth but 40 to close it!

What makes crocodiles so dangerous is that they attack incredibly quickly and they take their victims under the water to drown them.They usually attack in the water,but they can suddenly come out of a river and attack animals or people,and they can run on land at 17km/h.

Every year in Australia there are crocodile attacks on humans.2 years ago a 24-year-old German tourist died when she went for...

We're living faster,but are we living better?

posted by ZekiYuro

Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less,have more free time,and be more relaxed.But sadly this has not happened.Today we work harder,work longer hours,and are more stressed than 10 years ago.We walk faster,talk faster,and sleep less than previous generations.And although we are obsessed with machines which save us time,we have less free time than our parents and grandparents had.But what is this doing to our health?An American journalist James Gleick in a new book,Faster:the acceleration of just about everything,says that people who live in cities are suffering from...

What is foreshadowing and why is it important?

posted by paulmarktag

I think that the most important lesson I learned from my mentor, author Arline Chase, concerned foreshadowing. Here is the Random House Webster’s definition of foreshadow: to show or indicate beforehand. In other words, to provide some hint, clue, or indication of something that is going to happen.

Why is foreshadowing important? I learned this lesson the hard way. In many of my first short stories—which I recommend as a medium to anyone testing the waters to see if they want to write fiction—I thought that I was being so crafty with my endings. I wrapped up the crime (or whatever) with...

posted by ZekiYuro

Mick Jagger went back to his old school recently-for the first time since he left in 1961.He was invited to the school to open the 'Mick Jagger Performing Arts centre',a new music and drama department at Dartford Grammar School.

Jagger said that he was 'honoured' that the centre was name after him.But in a newspaper interview 2 days before he told the journalist that in fact he hated school and that he used to be a rebel.

He didn't use to do the homework-'there was far too much'-and he was continually at war with the teachers.He used to break the rules all the time,especially rules he thought...

Prologue

The sun is just minutes from rising and the night is growing lighter. An alter made entirely of blue marble, jade, and amethyst is illuminated. Two tiny babies lie on top writhing and screaming in discomfort. They are naked, only a few days old and the chill of the stone slowly seeping into their bones will surely kill them. The larger of the two will not stop screaming while her twin just sobs quietly.
Their frail mother stands a few feet away determined to finish what she came here to do but her eyes are bloodshot and red raw from her constant tears. But she is not alone. Her husband...

Vampire Knight Fan Fiction:Crimson Door chapter 5

Chapter Five: "Vulnerability"

Kaname made his way swiftly to where Chairman Cross and the doctor had moved Zero. It wasn't hard to find. Kiriyu must have been badly hurt indeed; the scent of his blood was strong and completely unmistakable. Cross and the doctor were too busy working to answer the door, so Kaname let himself in, Cross wouldn't mind, he never did.

Kaname frowned as he made his way to Zero's room and saw the damage. Kiriyu hadn't just been attacked… he'd been bloody butchered. His throat had been slashed, his wrists had been slashed, and he'd been stabbed multiple times in the...

How the Sun becomes a black dwarf star

posted by ZekiYuro

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star.It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium.The Sun has existed in its present state for about for billion six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.

By studying other stars,astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun's life will be like.About 5 billion years from now,the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter.The surface temperature will fall.The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions.The outer regions of the Sun will expand...

Who wrote Imagine?

posted by ZekiYuro

Imagine,John Lennon's most famous song,was recently voted"Britain's favourite song of all time".It's an idealistic song about peace and hope for a better world.
"Imagine all the people living life in peace."The song was a big hit in 1971,and again in 1980 when Lennon was murdered in New York.It became a hit for a third time after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001.

But who really wrote the song?Until recently the answer to this question was always John Lennon.But on a TV programme this week Lennon's wife,Yoko Ono,spoke for the first time about how she,in fact,helped to write the song....

Desperate Feelings (a poem)

posted by Rae-Ash

Have you felt this before?
How I feel so desperate?
Do you know what it’s like?
To be surrounded
By those who hate you
Did you know so long ago?
That it would end that way
Did you see my love for you?
Did you know you killed my dreams?
I trusted you
As any girl does her daddy
But you broke it
You looked into my eyes
And told me those lies
Did you know I would figure it out?
Or do you still see me as that little girl?
You used to be my hero
But not anymore
I always thought that you loved me
But all you do is use me
I was still a babe
When you figured it out
That you could use me for your gain
It only took me 11...

The Test- English Creative writing assignment

posted by MissKnowItAll

It was a golden summer evening. The last rays of the setting sun reflected off the surface of the water whilst reeds swayed lazily at the banks of the pond. I closed my eyes, feeling content for a moment.
The old jetty creaked as a small boy walked along it, stopping next to me. He sat down with a thud, and turned, grinning, to face me.
“Not long now,” Jacob said happily, “another tester.”
I smiled in return. The excitement of summer had worn off quickly for us, and our small town didn’t offer much in the way of entertainment for children of our age. So, we spent our days playing mindlessly...

Again--I'm not the greatest writer nor do I aspire to be a great writer, this story is mainly for my entertainment so be kind with comments if you read it.

1st Chapter link

Chapter 2

Koda arrived at his uncle’s shop, parking his dirt bike behind the building and chaining it to the radiator. The sun was already high in the sky; beating down its unforgiving rays of heat down on him but the extreme heat never bothered him as it seemed his body was never affected by the sun.
His skin would repel the rays like a duck’s feathers would repel the water.
Inside he could hear his uncle yelling something...
