"When the storm surged and their pipe sanctuary was crushed, all hoped seemed to be lost for Stick Figure Person 1 and Stick Figure Person 2. Not only did their pipe of hope get destroyed but Stick Figure Person 2 was plunged into a most perilous situation! As the situation progresses, will Stick Figure Person 1 be able to save Stick Figure Person 2? Or will Stick Figure Person 2 be sent to a cold wet grave at the hands of merciless fate?" Tune in next time to find out! Or better yet make your own ending! =P This is my finished DS106 assignment for Stick Figures and Sticky Situations. I hope you enjoyed it! The plot I tried to come up with is really random, but you're welcome to come up with your own ending in the comments section if you want! Just for your information, I used Photoshop to put in these stick figures using the paint brush and that's pretty much it! Once again, I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what you think! =)
Pictured above is a solitary, deeply colored...flower. If you read my previous post, I'm not very good with flowers, or flower names to be exact, so if you have any idea what this is (morning glory?) let me know. It's definitely not something exotic, if that helps.. I took this picture in my backyard a few summers ago when I saw them blooming on the side of my house. Maybe (eventually) in the Flower Power series, I will start giving more details about what the flowers actually are. I mean, not knowing anything about them is giving me the urge to do some research later anyway. So I might as well kill two birds with one stone and post that info on here! (Maybe...maybe...) Let me know what you think please, and post the name if you know! Thanks!
Now you do! (a specimen of it, at least) Take a look at this bad boy! Caught this one on camera back in America. It was looking for a juicy insect to eat at the time and I couldn't help but take a photo of it. Speaking of eating, these are considered a delicacy in some countries...I think. Now that you're dieing to know more about these crawly creatures, why not take a quick read at the definition below, taken from your favorite encyclopedia, Wikipedia! "Centipedes (from Latin prefix centi-, "hundred", and pes, pedis, "foot") are arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda of the subphylum Myriapoda. They are elongated metameric animals with one pair of legs per body segment. Despite the name, centipedes can have a varying number of legs from under 20 to over 300. Centipedes have an odd number of pairs of legs, e.g. 15 or 17 pairs of legs (30 or 34 legs) but never 16 pairs (32 legs).[1][2] A key trait uniting this group is a pair of venom claws or "forcipules" formed from a modified first appendage. Centipedes are a predominantly carnivorous taxon.[3]:168 Centipedes normally have a drab coloration combining shades of brown and red. Cavernicolous (cave-dwelling) and subterranean species may lack pigmentation and many tropical scolopendromorphs have bright aposematic colours. Size can range from a few millimetres in the smaller lithobiomorphs and geophilomorphs to about 30 cm (12 in) in the largest scolopendromorphs. Centipedes can be found in a wide variety of environments. Worldwide there are estimated to be 8,000 species of centipede,[4] of which 3,000 have been described. Centipedes have a wide geographical range, reaching beyond the Arctic Circle.[3] Centipedes are found in an array of terrestrial habitats from tropical rainforests to deserts. Within these habitats centipedes require a moist micro-habitat because they lack the waxy cuticle of insects and arachnids, and so lose water rapidly through the skin.[5] Accordingly, they are found in soil and leaf litter, under stones and dead wood, and inside logs. Centipedes are among the largest terrestrial invertebrate predators and often contribute significantly to the invertebrate predatory biomass in terrestrial ecosystems." Thanks Wikipedia! =) Leave your comments below and tell me if you already knew what an arthropod was!
Engelbart and his burger. I guess it's true what they say: They don't make em' like they used to! Look at the size of that thing! Just so you know, this is a picture of Douglas Engelbart, the creator of (probably one of the most important input devices) the mouse, with a picture of a triple baconator. Speaking of not making them like they used to, Wendy's took off the triple baconator from their menu! I'm going to put up some more picture variants of this later (maybe). Probably the full color original burger with Engelbart pre-final version one. It shows a stark contrast compared to this (horribly done) black and white version. Ah, and one last thing: I edited this picture using photoshop in case you were wondering.
The title says it all I think. This is Wendy's Triple Baconator Sandwich. Tastes like awesome and filled with an equal amount of artery clogging fat. How much is that exactly? Check out the link to their main website to find out! Wendy's Nutritonal Statistics for their menu items! Well, I may post here later the nutritional statistics taken directly from their website for the double Baconator. I can't find any for the triple since they might have taken it off their menu because it was too high in fat. Anyway, despite not being the healthiest sandwich in the world, perhaps the most unhealthy one instead, I still recommend trying it! For those of us in Japan, there's no need to worry about not being able to find a Wendy's here. If my memory serves me correctly, they will be opening up their chain again here in the coming year! So, as the French say: Bon Appétit!
