The small raptorex has a lot of the same similarties as the T rex. They both had a big skulll compared to their bodies. They also had powerful jaw with short arms and long legs. Both of these animals had a great sense of smell. The tiny raptorex was one one hunderedth of the size of the T rex. The raptorex will be put on display in a musem in Mongolia.

I chose this stumble because I was amazed with the cool slow motions pictures. I think its amazing how the pictures can show you how the bullet impacts the object. I would show this to a classmate because its interesting and cool how you can get a picture like that in slow motion. After looking over this web page I would like to ask how many pictures a second does the camera take that took these pictures.

I chose this stumble because weather pictures are so cool and unpredictable. I would recommend this to a person who is into that storm chaser stuff. These pictures are showing how destructive weather can be. The sources on this page are cited good and give you info to get to the original sources.

This entry was interesting it would give you an option on an energy drink and ask for your weight. After it calculated it would give the amount that would kill you. I found out that if I drink 153.56 cans of red bull that that would kill me. I would recommend this to energy drinkers to be careful the amount they consume.

The Size of Our World
In the fist link it gives use a very good perspective of how large or small our planet is. compared to pluto you may think we have a pretty big planet. then as you scroll down our planet starts to look smaller and smaller the more it is compared to other planets and stars in the universe. For me i had no clue that when i looked up into the sky some of the stars i was seeing are really as large as they are shown at this site. check it out!

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein
literally just a bunch of albert einstein quotes. but its very interesting, i now have a greater understanding of who albert einstein was and what he stood for. my favorite quote i saw was
"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." Albert einstein didnt have the hole world and meaning of life quite figured out but he was much closer than most of us.

mapping of the cat brain
I thought this was pretty funny, mostly because when you think of a cat this is pretty much what you get. but at the same time it really makes cats look dumb. i personally like cats but in this picture i have to say theres nothing i have to add. thats about all there is to a cat. A very simple animal...

"Best of the Blogs" Nikki Calhoun
2. The topics I have thought about from the blog writing I have read were dogs, architecture, animals in general, interesting videos, and different types of phrases.
3. Stumble is helpful as a prewriting tool because you get to look at articles under a topic that interests you. It also helps you show others what interests you. There were a lot of stumble blogs that were interesting to me but the top three blogs were by Jacob Darling, Ryan Sparks and Eric Jackson. The stumble by Jacob Darling was about puppies. I liked this one because I am interested in learning as much as I can about dogs. The stumble by Ryan Sparks was about Einstein le perroquet, a car, and birthday facts. The perroquet was amusing and I did not think a perroquet could learn that much. The car is unnatural and it looks like it is turned sideways. I would like to know the same thing that Ryan Sparks would like to know about this car, how does it work? The birthday facts was interesting because I did not know I could find out that much about my birthday. The stumble by Eric Jackson was about an interesting phrase, a blooper video and a museum of architecture. The phrase was interesting and true. The video was funny and very distracting to someone who is trying to write and watch at the same time. The museum was really cool. I liked all the windows and the construction of the building. It is interesting because it is not something you would see in everyday society.
4. I read a lot of helium blogs but there were only three that stuck out as saying something about writing elements. The three blogs were by Derk Bouwman, Kayla Caldwell, and Young koun Jeon. Derk Bouwman's blog shows that it would be useful to create a mnemonic to remember things. I agree with this. In the article, it shows how helpful it is. Kayla Caldwell's blog shows that a good way to write an essay is to write it as a play. That is also helpful and it proves helpful in the article also. According to Young koun Jeon, having good grammar and vocabulary are important when writing and understanding an essay. This is also true because if the reader cannot understand the essay then they will not pay any attention to it.
5. I think it helps others to know what you interested in. I think it also helps others to see if you have anything in common with them. I would rather blog like we have been doing rather than writing an essay everyday in class or for homework every night about things that do not interest anyone.

I picked this because since Kanye West interrupted
Taylor Swift during the VMA's its been a huge deal in the media. They have these pictures that are making fun of him which I find funny. Anyone who thinks what Kanye doesn't like what he did at the VMA's would find this humorous. I think the page is not cited good. I would like to know what made him go after Taylor Swift like he did?

This website is pretty cool because it shows you how to create some amazing photo effects on photoshop, I would recommend to anyone interested in this program and even people that would like to see some cool effects.

This website is very annoying and i would only recommend if you really want to tick your roomate off, it just is a gong that you can hit multiple times.

A cute little lemur looking thing apparently called a slow loris, video of it being tickled and petted. I guess you could watch if you wanted to see something cute.
Luke Perry- Stumble Upon- 09/21
Whilst stumbling I came across an album of the earth. At first it looks like a map, however you can click on whatever county you wish to and then look at pictures of cities, food, mountain and sunset. This is a pretty cool website because you get to view the world and see pictures which represent key facts of a certain country.
www.wisebread.com/travel-resources/
Next I StumbledUpon a website which was called “Wisebread”. This website was set up to for people living on small budgets and still wanting a “large” lifestyle. I found this website good due to the fact being a student there are many different money issues that may occur, especially as I have English bank accounts and trying to exchange money. Furthermore it gives you great tips for saving money when buying flights, accommodation and also I found a section which allows you to do Home Exchange. This I found very interesting because I’ve seen the movie “The Holiday” and didn’t realise this was actually possible to do.
www.cardtoss.com
Finally I stumbled on a Card game site. This was a lot different than the other websites I had found and it gave me a chance of playing a game and having fun. Basically you had different games but the default game was to throw a card into a magicians’ hat, I managed to get to level 3. Also you can get different card games such as poker.

One thing I found interesting about this picture that I came across while stumbling this morning was the attitude and opinions of many American’s today. This picture implies that Americans consider their country the greatest in the world. I would recommend this to a classmate who was interested in some humour about the USA. The sources aren’t cited very well in this stumble, a question about this topic is why do Americans perceive their country the best in the world?

This image was very interesting because of the message it implied. It portrayed that not matter which decision the cow choose he was still going to be killed. I would recommend this to any one who is interested in animal humour. The sources are not cited well at all it only has the link to the page. A question for this topic is how does this image portray illusion?

This link was a video clip of a Slow Loris getting tickled under the arms. This was knew to me because I didn’t know Slow Loris’s enjoyed being tickled under there arms, I also didn’t think people were fond of this. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in animals, a question I have is if Slow Lories enjoy being tickled what other animals enjoy this?

My first link is a web comic that I have been a fan of for awhile and honestly stumble brought up a page I have forgotten about. I'm using this as my picture because its funny and also mostly true. I know at least a few people have noticed how crazy squirrels are on college campuses.
Surviving the world
This next page is just text but it shows the stupidity that can happen when tech support is called. I'll leave it to you to see why I'm posting this.
Tech fail
For my last page I have a site called sign spotting. If you couldn't tell by the name its a website with random pictures of signs. I would have taken my picture from here until I found surviving the world.

When I stumbled upon this I had to stop and look at all the puppies in the slideshow. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cute dog to adopt or who just likes to look at the cute puppies. My question would be did people send the pictures in to the site for people to look at or are they in an adoption home?

How to hide A Airplane
1.http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2IvrWp/www.sonnyradio.com/airfactory.htm/ 2. I never knew during World War II that they had to hide an aircraft to keep the Japanese from attacking it. 3. I would recommend this page to someone who enjoys history of past wars like War World II, or to someone who is interested in air planes 4. There were not any sources cited on this page. 5. How long did it take them to make this camouflage netting to hide this plane?
1. http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#18OCmw/www.cubpack81.com/images/carve_pumpkin.swf/ 2.

Anyone who enjoys carving pumpkins and making jack o’ lanterns should check out this page. You get to cut out your own faces! 4. The sources were not cited on this page. 5. Who created this page?
Eric Jackson Stumble Master

The first stumble page I came across was a quote that was the best quote ever. “There’s a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything. But it’s not giving up. It’s realizing that you don’t need certain people and their crap.” This is a very bold quote. It teaches one in life that even though some people are very important but you don’t necessarily need them. I would recommend this to a class mate that need to get over someone because it has helped me very much. The author of this quote is unknown which is unfortunate because I’m sure that he or she has many great other quotes. A question I have about this quote is why isn’t it east to get over someone ha?
The second stumble page I came across was a blooper video of people doing really dumb things. I didn’t really learn much from this besides that common saying “think before you act”. This page is very entertaining and funny to me. I would recommend anyone to view this web page that is looking for a good laugh. This site was not cited very well. A question I have about this is why people do such dumb things?

The last page I stumbled across is a museum of architecture. It shows the amazing designs of construction and what can be done with it. Learning architecture is very difficult however appreciating it is way better. I would recommend this to anyone that appreciates amazing architecture. The cites on this page are shown well each structure has an article where it tells about it and their creators. How do people come up with such great creations that function as a home and look so superficial?
