Op Ed
Alex Orchard did his editorial against abortion. He has strong feelings for Pro-life. The opposing idea would be Pro-Abortion, but I completely believe in Pro-Choice. This means the yes, I do believe you may kill a human, under certain circumstances. If a woman is raped and becomes impregnated, it is her choice if she would like to get an abortion, or have the child. Some woman have a low chance of getting pregnant, and if they do could possibly die during labor, it should be her choice who's life to take, her's or the unborn child. In war, human beings are killed like nothing is wrong with it, grown humans that feel it when they are killed. When and abortion occurs the unborn child doesn't understand or know what is happening, so yes it is murder, but no real suffering is involved when relating to the child. On the other hand, the mother may suffer, abortions for the mother are painful, but then again it is her choice, which is why i'm pro-choice. The mothing is only putting herself in any real pain, not the unborn child inside of her. The bible may say "A child is conceived in the womb", but what it doesn't say is, "Rape is Right." Therefore, if a mother decides to abort her child because of rape, i believe that it is a choice of her own. Alex left his readers with the question, would you ever murder a human?, but i rebutle that question with one of my own; Could you kill yourself, to save the life of a baby conceived by rape?

Why Funny Guys Get the Babes?McCarty is a scientist who explored the often asked question. It turned out that the studies proved that woman would rather be in a long relationship with a guy who can express himself in a humorous matter, but it also proved that they want guy friends to be humerous to for social situations. They feel less obligated to make the situation less awkward, and it turns out that guys tend to like less funny women who laugh at there jokes, to build their self esteem.

"Mr. Poopy Pants" and Fees Frustrate Flyers
I don't know if you heard, but a few weeks ago a man soiled himself ten minutes into his flight, but the worst part is, he just sat there. This disgusted all of the fellow flyers, and is not the only thing frustrating passengers. They have recently found many hidden fees in flying anywhere. The planes are packed, the seats uncomfortable, other passengers, and hidden fees have seemed to find their way to the surface of passengers frustrations. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/04/02/airline.fees.annoyances/index.html?iref=t2test_travelthur

Interview.
I am doing my interview on my friend Hunter. I started asking her the simple questions. Do you like cats and why? “Yes I do because they are cuddly and fun to play with.” Then I went on to ask what the craziest thing she has ever done was, and she replied; “I jumped off a 21 foot waterfall naked in the middle of winter and the waterfall just happened to be frozen, ha-ha.” That was crazy. That also brought up a question I had to ask. What was one of your most interesting stories and will you tell it? She snickered and stated, “Well just this week I interviewed Dalcie, who interviewed herself. Here is how that went: I asked Dalcie to tell me the most interesting story about her and she said, “Hmmm, it would have to be my English interview.” I asked her why and to elaborate she stated, “Well it was interesting because I interviewed myself. And here is how it went; such as; where was the most interesting place you’ve been? Dalcie replied “Nakashinana.” I had to ask: What and where is this? Dalcie said, “It’s in an alternate realm, and it’s… somewhere, not here. Ha-ha.” I finally asked, could you describe your experience in the, ‘imaginary’, country is it? She gladly stated, “It’s more of an imaginary realm but yes I would be glad to… “When I first got to Nakashinana I was amazed at the extreme color and all around attraction of the place. I arrived at about 6:30 am our time, which is known as about six nute-nutes in Nakashinana’s time. So it was fairly early in the morning. To my surprise the sun was a giant orange pulsating with light. Rising about the frosting laced mountains. I looked o the left and there were trees as tall as skyscrapers. But I highly doubt that they were really trees because of the fact that they mooed like cows and had springs at the end. Oh yes they were what we call today, jumping cow trees. I almost got crushed got crushed by one, it was awful. But just in the nick of time I fell into the hole of a monkey-bunny-llama beast. That was an experience. As I was falling I observed the walls where there were pictures of glow-in-the-dark-Twinkies. Then BAM! I hit the bottom. It didn’t hurt at all considering I landed on the monkey-bunny-llama beast. He and his entire fluffy rainbow colored hair saved my life. I thought that because of his monstrous size he would be mean, but to my great surprise he offered me tea and pineapple upside down cake. I accepted because, well I mean it would be rude for me to fall down and hit him, yes refuse his hospitality. We talked about each other’s worlds and how Nakashinana was run by a good talking shrunken head named frog-dumpling. Then I thanked him for his time and headed out of the hole. I asked for a cab but he said that all they had were unicorniphants. I was a bit distraught about riding one because I had never even heard of one but when I did, it was fun. It talked like a normal human with a slight lisp and gave me a tour around Nakashinana.” After hearing that…story, I decided to begin again by asking what was it like meeting these new creatures? “It was interesting, I thought that they would be mean, but no, actually they were very hospitable.” Did you enjoy it? “For the first time I was there it was very…. Enlightening.” I then asked, have you ever taken acid or shrooms? “well, just to start off, I find this question very rude, but to answer, no I have not, and I was not on drugs at the time I visited Nakashinana. After hearing this story I asked her some other questions. So how did you come up with this alternate dimension? “Shrooms, lots and lots of shrooms, no, not really, I am a really random person and I needed a story… fast and that’s what I came up with.” Did you bring back anything from Nakashinana? “As a matter of fact yes I did, I brought back a fluffy, blind, deaf, limbless, paralyzed, sparkly, hairy, purple spider named Yoshirodogagocakakakia.”
Yes, that was an interesting story alright; I wouldn’t have ever expected it. It sounds like Nakashinana was a very interesting place. I asked Hunter if she wanted to go and she replied, “Oh yes, it sounds like a blast. My whole life I have never heard of anything so out of this world, literally.” Now that makes for an interesting story.

Book Review
In Twisted, Laurie Halse Anderson presents readers with Tyler Miller, whose transformation from meek, social Mr. Cellophane to a chiseled, admired "tough guy" sets his world on end. As someone who spends his days unnoticed, Tyler finds himself with more attention than he wanted after he vandalizes school property and, to pay for his crime, takes a summer job doing landscaping. The unforeseen side effect is that he returns the next school year with a brand new bod that's turning heads, most notably the head of Bethany Milbury. But not everything, even Bethany's advances, works out well for Tyler. As he struggles to contend with his angry father, a mistrustful faculty and the aftermath of a drunken party, Tyler comes to the painful realization that there's a substantial price tag for his newfound popularity, and juggling the consequences lead him to thoughts of suicide.
A popular theme that resides within the book is suicide. All of Tyler’s choices: vandalism, falling for Bethany, letting his sister date his best friend, and letting his father control him all leads him to the thought of suicide. Everything seems to go wrong in his life at once and all he can feel is twisted. The theme is strongly based on suicide making this a novel for mature 8th graders and up, although staying the young adult range.
I think it is a great novel, but has a terrible ending. Some may think this is the best possible ending for the book. The book teaches that just because you’re a “nerd” doesn’t mean you’re a terrible person, and when you come into the limelight doesn’t mean you’ll be loved by everyone. Always stay true to yourself and everything else will fall into place. It also has that just because you’ve made mistakes in your past you can still become a better person and overcome those mistakes later in life. It is a good lesson book for teenagers and I highly recommend it to that age group. It’s a drama book, but has some funny parts. Overall I give this book an 9/10 because of the ending.

Whodunit? Placentas found in sewage system
“Workers in Urbana on Thursday found a placenta in a filter that keeps large objects out of the sewage treatment plant — the third such find this year.” In Chicago, Illinois three placentas have been found in the sewage system just this year.

They are suspected from home births, but nothing is for sure until all tests are followed through.
