January 6, 200719 yr This is just a school project for writing, so nothing too major, it'll get me an A :) And, just so you know, I'm not gonna go into writing. Sorry to all the people that really really enjoyed this thread.:) By the way, every week I have to do this assignment, so check in for the next ones that I have, I'll add a few more to this soon, so check in every once in a while to see the news in a way that you can give your own advice to. Please read through this and post your thoughts afterward. Article 1: Meteorite Strikes Home in New Jersey January 6, 2007. What was it? A meteorite. ThatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s right, a small meteorite slammed through the roof of a home in the New Jersey suburbs this week, wrecking a second story bathroom and lodging itself on the wall. This was only the second meteorite ever found in New Jersey, and it was ripped straight from, what could have been, the belly of a giant astroid. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a pretty exciting find,ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà ~Every party has a pooper. That's why they created toilets.~~Studies show that 64% of teenagers are bad at math. If you are one of the 48% who isn't, put this in your sig.~
January 6, 200719 yr Wow.. Personally, I'd sell that and have my house repaired. Not much fun trying to use the toilet when it's raining and you have a hole in the roof, now is it? :P Internet Marketing For Newbies
January 6, 200719 yr Cool I guess. Not much of a fan of Space although I find it interesting. ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.
January 6, 200719 yr Does this need to fill any particular criteria? Personally it's pretty short right now. Remember to paragraph. :P Just showing you how I would've written it of same length: January 6, 2007. Meteorites are not just in science fiction. A couple in New Jersey found that out but not in a pleasant way! A small meteorite struck the roof of a home in the New Jersey suburbs this week and quickly ripped through a second story bathroom and lodged itself into the wall of the house. Although this seems uncommon, this was infact the second meteorite ever to hit New Jersey! It's believed that it had dislodged from a larger meteroite passing by Earth. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅIt was a pretty exciting find,ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

Not much fun trying to use the toilet when it's raining and you have a hole in the roof, now is it? :P Yeh, I've heard that pissing in the wind isn't fun :wink: On topic: Cad has given you some good advice there. Try writing a few drafts to see how you can improve it. The Poison Fairy
January 6, 200719 yr Yea I saw that on tv the other day. Would suck if it hit your head. Would suck pretty bad. Almost dead-like, y'know? :lol: ... Damn that smiley sucks. Anyway, i think they would either sell the meteorite, or make it into an exhibition. They would probably make enough money not just to repair the bathroom, but get a pretty decent house extension! ~ W ~
January 6, 200719 yr This so reminds me of Donnie Darko. :wink: The whole jet engine thing. Me doing staff.
January 6, 200719 yr I think you're kind of a bastard if you sell a meteorite that slammed into your house... I mean, it's scientifically proved that a meteor will crush earth someday in the future. could be tomorrow, could be in a million years. But by research and technological improvement we might someday be able to create something that will be able to prevent incoming meteors from hitting the earth (giant catching-nets, super-lasers?). However, if people like the ones mentioned in NJ choose money over life - by not sharing stuff which scientist are gonna need for their research - you're pretty dumb and selfish towards the people in the future. IMO
January 6, 200719 yr Author Just for the people above me, they do have lasers actually, maybe i'll do something on them in the future.

I'm gonna put part of that in the first post so everybody gets the jist of what this is about. Keep up the good thoughts! Does this need to fill any particular criteria?

January 6, 200719 yr I think you're kind of a [bleep] if you sell a meteorite that slammed into your house...

IMO I've not heard of this theory about a meteor crushing the Earth some day. The "End of the World" theory I've lived by is the end of the Sun. So call me a [bleep] for wanting my house fixed rather than letting some scientists look at a meteorite that damaged my house. If they want it bad enough, they can go buy it back.

Not much fun trying to use the toilet when it's raining and you have a hole in the roof, now is it? :P I'd be interested to know whether Cad's got a picture to go with that. :-w Anyway... what deloria said. Or better, you could get a new house.. Article's cool but why do you use two -- when you should use one?
January 7, 200719 yr Author Why would Cad have a picture to go with that? :) Well, thanks for all of your posts, I'm hoping to make this thing a big news spot to come to when big news is happening...Just think, maybe I'll have a career just by putting school work up on tip.it! ~Every party has a pooper.

IMO The thing wrecked your house! At least sell it for the cost of repairs. If they were selling for millions on Ebay, it would be unethical. For 3000 bucks to fix a roof and support structuring, I don't see a problem. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley
January 8, 200719 yr thats pretty cool (the metorite not the house getting wrecked) id sell it for money :P l0l 7h47 h0u53 g07 p00n3d aliens>house

Scientists probably get billions in funds for researching anyways, if the people want a few thousand dollar to fix the roof, I think they can let it slip by.
January 9, 200719 yr Uh-oh! What town in New Jersey! I live there! I'm next!!!!!!11shift1@!@!~#$!#!@#!~!!! :thumbsup: Ex-Runescaper
