OUT: Euphemism IN: unoffensive alternative

Hey everybody! Well, we're having a "Science Project Day" at school, and we all have to do a working model. That is something that moves, or that we can move. For example, last year, a group did a project on camouflage. They had this big box, and inside it they had a scene in a forest, with many different plants and all. They showed the camouflage of a chameleon by having a green coloured rubber chameleon in the green areas connected to a stick. The person demonstrating the project pulled the stick, and the chameleon went into a hollow. When they pushed another stick, a different red coloured rubber chameleon came out in a place with red leaves. While demonstrating it, they also explained the topic. That was one of the simpler projects, and ours was much more complicated. This year, we want to live up to the expectations, and prepare another stunning display. Our topic is Undersea invertebrates and turtles. Can you please help if you have any idea? Thanks, Count

I finished Lost Colony, and right now I'm reading Half moon Investigations - By Eoin Colfer. Lost Colony was great!

Thanks a lot! Now all I need to do is print i out...

I recently brought up in my class that as people grow older, they become slightly shorter. My friends all challenged it, and due to sheer numbers, I gave up. The main argument they put up was that a science textbook defined growth as the "irreversible increase in size of an organism". However, was I right or wrong? If I was right, can you please give me a link to some "official" website that says so (like perhaps Britannica or something), so that I can print it out, and go nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah in their face? j/k Thanks in advance, Count

Currently, I'm reading Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony- by Eoin Colfer. Great so far... On a slightly different topic, how do you get your books? That is, do you borrow books from a library to read, or buy books, or borrow from your friends, etc?

threw through further farther Technically, the second one isn't a homonym, but some of the homonyms other people have posted stretch the rules a bit too...

*gasp*

Thanks a lot!

Ok, so I'm not really from Texas or anywhere near. But that doesn't spoil a good, enthusiastic cowboy-styled HOWDY, does it? Well, anyway, I'm Count. I'm an English freak, and an avid math lover. I'm not that crazy about science, but I love a good discussion. I like alternate theories a lot, good fodder for creativity, a good plot for a story in the making. Cheers, Count
