100 Words: Leaving

http://www.100wordstory.org/3982/leaving/ 

This story describes two people leaving and are both fining it hard to do so. Neither of them want to be there so one leaves. While the one left over is still packing and during this the author adds humur in saying the cat throws up on his clothes. The author tells you this in 100 words by making short sentances. Also the autor adds in an oxymoron after vomit by saying gracefully, this then makes you pause and think "How can you vomit gracefully?"

From The Cranium To The Phalanges

First there’s the cranium,
A vertebrate enclosing the brain.
Then the mandible,
A jaw-like biting organ in piercing species.
Next the clavicle,
Two slender bones forming the collar bone.
The sternum,
Bones extending along the ventral portion.
Rounded ribs,
Occurring in pairs they form the thoracic wall.
Composing the spinal column,
Vertebrae consist of a cylindrical body.
The longest, largest and strongest bone,
The femur A.K.A. the thigh bone.
Patella is next, a moveable bone.
This connects to the fibula,
Extending from the knee to ankle.
The tibia is the same.
Under the tibia is the tarsus,
Most people call this the ankle.
Between the tarsus and the toes are the metatarsi,
And the toes are called phalanges.

Worst story ever

The Vampire Bomb

I had 20 minutes to stop the bomb me and my best friend who i secretly like (which every one knows but no one says). If this bomb goes off every one in new york city will become vampires. All I need to do now is stop singing about this in my high school corridor and put on my hero mask and stop the bomb. Im running down the street to the empire state building with my hero friends; captain under-pants, spider pig and aqua man. We need to get there fast because somehow the evil villan has somehow managed to work out who I am and to my best friend who I fancy. The villan has his minions shooting at us from tall buildings and somehow the police still have not been called. We are so heroie that we are missing all the bullets. Captain under pants looks at me and shouts "are you trying to get us killed?!" So I reply "Don't say I diddn't warn you!". As we are running down the street we see a big very conveniant lemonade advert in times square saying "when life gives you lemons... make lemonade" the all of a sudden I have defeted the british villan and I kissed my friend.

(S) Binge Drinking, (F) MP's Blog, (P) Radicalise, (A) Criminalise

I disagree with the point Mr. MP is making, I do not think that all criminals should be banned from bars. This is because if you are a criminal, life must be pretty bad. I mean there has to be a reason they are criminals right? Well many years ago I was friends with a "criminal" and they way that he coped with his troubles was binge drinking, every night he would get completely off his face and he would always be a lot happier than the next morning!

Five Opening Sentances

1) Dear Mr MP,
My name is Mr. Gobbledygook and I am campaigning for better pay to dairy farmers, before you read on you should read these points.....


2) This deadly disease is caused by lack of calcium and vitamin D.



3) All children now days are very hyper, this is because of the milk they drink.


4) You need calcium and vitamins so why no try the new and improved Milkamillion!!!!!!! NOW ;)


5) To pasteurise or not to pasteurise that is the question!


6) 10th April 2010
When I stopped at 221b Baker street Sherlock Holmes ran into me so I spilled the milk!


7) Are you a killer? No? Then why do you kill animals for medicine and food?
