Why the Sun is Important to the Sun?

I decided to go to answers.com, and answer a random question. I came upon a very strange question, that didn't really seem like a real question. It was this: Explain why the sun in important to the sun.


So, I decided I would take the time and answer this question, pretending to be serious about the matter, but in all reality, not caring at all. I hope you enjoy the answer I gave them.


The sun is important to the sun in many ways. 

First of all, the sun gives off warmth. Some of this warmth will go towards earth, causing the earth to heat up. The heat waves that do not go through the earth's atmosphere will bounce back and hit the sun. This helps give the sun warmth to itself, so it can continue to create more and more heat for the earth.

Secondly, if the sun did not exist, then how could the sun see anything? The sun obviously needs light in order to see the earth, so it knows where to aim its heat waves at. If the sun could not see the earth, it would most likely spew its heat waves all across the galaxy, hitting other solar systems, causing them to burn to a crisp.

Lastly, the sun needs a companion. Someone to give it encouragement when times are tough. Occasionally, the sun gets sick of creating heat, and simply wants to give up on what it was created for; heat, and warmth, and the major light source during the day, and reflecting its light off the moon's surface to give us our major light source during the night. In these terrible times or hardship, the sun is in dire need for someone or something to encourage it. Luckily, the sun has the sun to help it get through these tough times. We are very fortunate that the sun has something that gives it encouragement. It is possible that the sun may stop working, if it doesn't have something to encourage it every now and again.

The perfect wish

After reading "The Monkey's Paw", I realized that the only people who get wishes in stories are either stupid or desperate, making them stupid. In the Monkey's Paw, an old man doesn't heed the warning of his old friend, a sergeant major in the army.  He wishes for money, although the sergeant major specifically tells him not to wish for anything and to burn the monkey's paw.  Another example of a stupid person who gets 3 wishes is Aladdin.  "But everything turned out good in Aladdin!" you might counter.  Did it? Did it really?  What about the period of time when Jafar is ruling the kingdom?  What about the avalanche that Jafar caused when he sent the massive corridor into the mountains, because Aladdin was in it?  And finally, When Jafar (Who is also quite stupid, i might add. Lets not forget how he wished himself into a genie and not a free genie.) ordered Genie to move his castle.  Rubble falls down onto the crowd, killing at least 10000 people.  Maybe, if someone smart actually got 3 wishes, the world might actually be a better place.  Lets delve a little deeper into this subject.

Well, one man who actually did get his "wish" granted in real life is King Solomon.  He wished for wisdom.  What a wise choice.  Look what happens when someone smart actually gets something to wish for.  He is now known as the "wisest man who ever lived".

What if, after realizing the wishes were cursed (in "The Monkey's Paw"), the old father wished, "I wish I had an excellent lawyer, one that can make anything loophole proof, is on my side, is helpful, and that nothing bad would happen because of this wish, and that I will live long enough to make my third wish."  Or would the last part count as another wish?  After the lawyer came, what if old father wished (maybe in different words, because of his awesome lawyer), "I wish everything was the way it was before I recieved this monkey's paw, and that i would never meet ever again?"

In conclusion, always make sure your wishes are loophole proof. If you are going outside to look for shooting stars, Plan 30 minutes in advance what you are going to wish. Make sure to write it down, and read it off carefully and precisely when you do see a shooting star.  Another precautionary measure to utilize is to plan your 11:11 wishes a few days in advance.

Take these precautionary measures, and you could become a main character of a story, about how wishes can turn out good.

24-Hour Stay in Room

Back in like 2009 or something, I really don't remember, Tony and I (Trent) stayed in my room for 24 straight hours. We wanted to have some sort of memory for it, so we wrote our LOG for it. Hope you enjoy what our thoughts were while we were trapped in my room for those 24 memorable hours.


LOG

Hour Zero and one minute – we are in the room and Tony is reading some jokes from Reader’s Digest while I type in our LOG.

Hour Zero and two – my mom came with some cards for us to play with.

Hour Zero and four – people arguing outside room and it makes me want to sweat like a pig.

Hour zero and six.  Mom barges in AGAIN! And now I want to quit. I am homesick and almost dead.  PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU ARE READING THIS.  By the way, out of snacks.

Hour zero and seven. – just kidding about the snacks.  But Trenten wants hugs and kisses from ma.    Ma is arguing with Trent about something

Hour zero and thirteen. -  found a lot of typos in hour zero and eight.

Hour zero and sixteen -  Trenten still badmouthing his game.  I am starting to cry.

Hour zero and eighteen  -  Pulled myself together.  Just had the sudden realization that I have to take my contacts.  Good thing I have my contact stuff with me.

Hour zero and twenty – Trenten ignoring me.   I hope its not personal.

What Things are Really Made of

Pencil: These beasts are made entirely out of wood. Nothing else. The outside is wood, and so is the stuff inside that helps you write stuff down. You may not think that it is wood, but it is. It is actually a special kind of wood that is found only in the southern most parts of Yugoslavia. But what about the eraser? There is no way that can be made of wood! False. It is made of wood. You're just not cool enough to realize such simple things. This wood, however, cannot be found in most parts of the world. Not even in the southern most parts of Yugoslavia. This wood can be found on the South-East side of Jupiter. You must go to the city of Ember, and when you see an inhabitant of the native land, you must give them a complement using the glaring method. They will then proceed to give you special wood that can erase.

Imagination: Although this is not an actually object you can touch, it can still be made of something. Most people think that the imagination is made of Images, and Nations. However, that is completely wrong. The imagination is actually made of unicorns, and rainbows, and smiles, and candy, and joy, and happiness, and big white fluffy clouds (the clouds that look really cool and look like pillows that you wish you could lay on).

Clocks: Many folks (that's a German based word) think that clocks are made up of many gadgets and gizmos and other random stuff like that. But. They. Are. Not. Clocks are actually made of clocks. Yes, clocks. A clock is something that is actually grown a mile under the ground in South America in the mountains of Venezuela. These clocks are then sent around the world and sold. The reason people say they were "hand-made" and are made of expensive things, is just so they can sell them for more, and make you pay them more when you need to get your clock fixed.

A Blog Update

This may be very sad to most of our readers, but we are making some changes to DuckmanConnections.
First of all, we don't have much time to make a blog post everyday. Our lives are very busy. If we do end up writing a post, it is usually posted around 11, which is too late. We love our sleep.

We are not going to stop posting, however, we will be posting less. We will try and post twice a week, although we aren't sure how well that will go either. So we will post when we feel like it. I know this is sad, but it is for the better of our health. Maybe some time in the future we will be posting more, but for now we will not be posting very often.

We are very sorry about this, but it is the destiny of the blog as of now.

The story about Franklin (as much as we know)

Once there was a young child named Frederick Charles III.  He grew up often wondering why he was named that, since no one else in his family was ever named Frederick Charles or any mixture of the names.  He also often ate Popsicles.  Frederick Charles III (we'll call him Anteater from New Brunswick for short) was a very friendly person, speaking to nearly everyone he met.  Except Bartholomew.  He never spoke to Bartholomew.  Anyway, he was so friendly that he became incredibly famous for being friends with just about everyone (except Bartholomew).  Eventually, people decided that they ought to take records of all his friends, just so they could have a big book of his friends that they could read.  They began to keep track of everyone he spoke with, which was pretty much everyone, and they wrote as much of the information they could find about these people.  These records were so accurate that many years later, historians used them to find out more about people in the past.  They found a person in the records who did not exist according to any other historical documents.  In fact, one document was found stating that he did not exist.  His name was Franklin.  The only information in the book was this:  "Franklin.  Born in 35-orange.  Donut Salesman."  The document saying he didn't exist said only this:  "Franklin.  Born in 35-orange.  Donut Salesman.  Does/has/never will exist."  The only other information found in that document was: "I guess he just never liked the idea of talking to me."  No author was recorded, just the letter B.

This blog post may not make a whole lot of sense, but because I am lazy I decided to make a post using 1 sentence from every post we have done before therefore making a story. (Sorry, no Mega Movie Monday today)

Zak had the plan. One or more of these may or may not have included an image of Max and Trenten's dead bodies lying in wait for us on our return trip with a note to force our hand. Does this mean I am normal? Everyone knows that Nero didn't always have the most wonderful intentions in mind. He lets us wear earrings. However, there is a better approach. More likely, though, is the theory that people fear baldness. What he didn’t know is that he was absolutely correct. Cuts hurt people and so do nicknames. It is a good thing we are here. Bandit constitutes the end of the world. He had to go out into the world and prove himself worthy. Well now you can! But that is beside the point. Well, there you have it! There are many things which aren't doughy and people can't stuff their faces full of them. Many people took this message to heart, and starting protesting all over the world. Try it, maybe you will figure out you like it! I would love to hear what everone else's take on this issue is. This one is a bit harder. Because of its great ability to resemble humans in absolute darkness, you can't tell the difference. I hope you enjoy. You can thank me later. A child of five would understand this. It was the largest explosion set off by the United States. Well, not literally. But that didn't keep them from having their own hobbies. No, his talent was acting. However, this does not stop it from creating a body when the time comes for it to use it. It worked for me! Everyone will be a winner! It would take them hours just to get halfway. Ask the blind man, he saw it all. Nice pants. See if you can figure out what Max's is supposed to be. Can you decipher this code? Don't tell me that's obvious, because if you could have thought of it you would have. One of the most common things people think of is the pain test. Wow, that curve almost looks useful. Most people have not heard of this magical place. He told everyone else this, and they all agreed with him. It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys. How's this for inspirational? That was easy. Pretend to be listening to someone, but ignore the entire conversation. It is good though. Is it a sandwich, a pretzel, or maybe even a small fry? Suddenly, bullets flew by our head. Everyone jumped in the car. Ever since then he has been driving his parents insane with his wonderful voice. I leave my joe job, wearing my tuque, and return home to sit on my chesterfield while drinking a double-double. I do very little else. I couldn't resist! This may seem like an exaggeration, but it's not. Right now I am typing.
