My project is to write an essay about a boulder. I can put the boulder anywhere and I decided to put in the Four Corners. Now I have to write about what it was like for the boulder 1,000,000 years ago, 100,000 years ago, 10,000 years ago, 1,000 years ago, and present time. Can any give me some information of the Four Corners in those times? All I need is the information. I will write it out in my own words and create similes and metaphors with it. (Because it's an ELA project.) Also, when you give the information, it would have to be from a 100 meter distance of the boulder.

I decided I want to be an Applied Mathematician. But what do they basically do? (I need to simplify it for my parents.)

The best part for me today was when I bought a pizza and got a free drink.

I'm choosing high schools and I want to choose a program that will be mostly about a career I want to be in. I might want a career in mathematics, but I want to know what are some specific jobs in mathematics. Can you list some? Also, what are some positive factors about those jobs?

That's the point, I wanted to see people's reactions. I even fell for it the first time.

The heart of a shrimp is located in its head.

Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Also, do it in the order that it is written. Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

So a guy just got hired at an apple shop.The first customer walks in. "How much are these apples?" The clerk says, "I don't know." When the man leaves, the manager comes and says, "You are supposed to say, 'Five cents sir'." So the next customer comes in. "How much are these apples?" The clerk responds, "Five cents sir." "Are they fresh?" "I don't know." So the man leaves. The manager once again comes out and says, "You are supposed to say, 'Fresh fresh fresh sir!'" So the third customer walks in. "How much are these apples?" "Five cents sir." "Are they fresh?" "Fresh fresh fresh sir!" "Should I buy them?" "I don't know." Once again, the man leaves. Flustered, the manager tells the clerk, "You are supposed to say, 'If you don't somebody else will!'" Afterwards, the fourth man walks in, but he's a robber. "GIMME THOSE APPLES!" "Five cents sir." "ARE YOU BEING FRESH WITH ME??" "Fresh fresh fresh sir!" "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" "If you don't someboddy else will!"
