English class has become one of my favorite classes. There's some humor, some creativity, and some imagination. An example of how epic it is would be an example of Flimibuff.
Since we are to begin reading Lord of the Flies my english teacher decided to give us a project. Our project was that all of the students were stranded on a desert island. There were no adults since they fell out of the plane and died or something like that. We had to come up with things like a slogan, flag, anthem, food source, map of the island, entertainment, clothing, a language, a constitution/government system, currency and so on and so forth. So really we had to create a unique civilization to Flimibuff.
Well, culturing our civilization was interesting. It started with the fact that our flag was of a chef in a curly black wig, who was buff, and wearing an apron that read '#1 Chef'. It's a wonderful flag, I know. Our slogan was 'A couard dies 1,000 deaths. A soldier dies but once." A seal was litteraly a seal with a beach ball, it doesn't get more original than that. Our anthem was Heat of the Moment by Asia...not quite sure why...
Our food source was chocolate chips, since they are apparently grown on Flimibuff. Our language was adding 'uff' to the end of every adjective. It was a very uniqueuff idea, no? We had a constitution and elected a leader and eventually voted someone off the island and fed her to the sharks since our Constitution never said we couldn't.
All in all, it was one of the best english classes. Ever.

Artificial...Cranberries?
Cranberry juice. You'd think that it contains juice, right? Wrong. It turns out that some cranberry juice is artificial, believe it or not.
I had been talking with a few of my friends when the topic of cranberry juice came up and apparently there is a such thing of cranberry juice that has no juice. This started an extemely dynamic discussion on the artificialness of cranberries.
So I have posted this as a warning, keep your eye out for artificial cranberry juice : )
