  3. Bloody Mary

    Possibly many of us have heard about one of the most popular urban legends told between children having sleepovers, according to this myth if you turn off the lights, lit the room only by a candle, look into a mirror, and say Bloody Mary three times then you will see the spirit of Mary, a woman who was supposedly executed for being a witch.

  4. The Name Game

    Choosing the name of my dreamed company, I guess it could be a difficult task. First, I have to think what my company will be about, so I can find an attractive and catchy name, easy to remember for my clients. Then I have to check if the name I chose hasn't been taken yet. After finding a proper name for my company I have to get a patent, so it won't be stolen by anyone else. Finally, I guess it is time to get my company started.

  5. Smart Cars

    The Bee Car is one of the world's smallest and most compact cars. It was built with as many safety features as most luxury cars. There was paid special attention to materials and the effect the car has on environment. The Bee Car is not expensive to buy and economical to run. It is also versatile and has fashionable accessories such as bumpers, doors, and wheels of different colors. After being put through all kind of tests by a group of engineers, it has been proven to be one of the strongest and safest cars ever. But the greatest advantage is that this amazing car can be parked in a very small space.

  7. A Movie Saga Inspired by a Book Saga


    Twilight is a movie saga based on a series of four vampire-theme fantasy romance novels by American Author Stephenie Meyer. The story develops is a period in the life of Isabella "Bella" Swam, a teenage girl who falls in love with the most handsome boy in high school who happens to be an 104-years-old vampire named Edward Cullen. Also in the picture is young Jacob, a werewolf who falls for Bella, and is the Cullens swron enemy.

    Stephenie Meyer is said to have been involved in the production of the movie, but her novel was substanlly more absorbing than the unintentionally funny romance intertaining fantasy film. It is said by people that the books are way better than the actual movie was. But what can you expect from a movie made of a book of almost 500 pages released in around 120 minutes? I guess people can just expect a far job out of it.

  9. Yo-yo, Weapons of Mass Destruction?!



    Well, ok, so it wasn’t ever a weapon of mass destruction but it was believed to be used in the Philippines as a weapon. Their version of the yo-yo was a rope up to twenty feet in length tied at one end to a circular object, quite possibly a rock, with sharp studs around the sides. Hunters or warriors would then hurl the object at animals or enemies. The length of the rope allowed them to easily pull the rope back. This offered a means of protection against enemies and a source of securing food for the hunters and their families.

  10. Did Really Colombus Discovered America?!


    On our school years, all of us have been taught in history classes that Christopher Colombus discovered America. This is something I believe is completely wrong. Fist of all, how can someone discover a place where there are already people living there. That was the case of the "discovery of America" by Christopher Colombus. By a serie of causes and casualities he found the islands but there were indigenous already established there before.

    Also some evidences suggest that Colombus was not the first explorer to come to the continent. History says that the Vikings came around the eleventh century. In addition, some others like the Irish, the Polynesians, the Chineses and the Phoenicians made their way to America before Colombus and his crew.

    According to an article releated to the discovery of America by China, the Chinese came to America 71 years before Colombus. Some of the Chineses established in North America but when Colombus crew got there, around 98% of the Chinese people died because of the diseases brought by the Europeans.
