GIANT Pumpkin
Yesterday I got seeds for a GIANT pumpkin. They grow a pumpkin that is 400 pounds!!!! That is ridiculous! What do you do with a pumpkin that big? If it is big enough by Halloween I want to put it at the top of the driveway, although it will have to grow pretty fast to be 400 pounds by then. That's over a pound of pumpkin a day. I'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress of this monster of a pumpkin.

Summer!!!!!
School finally ended yesterday and today was my first day that I got to sleep in! That's pretty much the thing I look forward to most about summer although the fact that there is no homework is pretty nice too. The point is that since there is no more school I will have more free time. Since I like math, here is my equation: no homework + no school= more time to blog. In other words, I can get back to blogging. I promise I will try to blog more than I usually do (which should be easy considering I don't usually have time to blog at all) for the next three months.
Bill Gates' Rules for Life
These are Bill Gates' Rules for Life. My favorite is number eleven.
RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.
RULE 2
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world
will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel
good about yourself.
RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with
car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a
boss. He doesn't have tenure.
RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping
they
called it Opportunity.
RULE 6
If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't
whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
RULE 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,
cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about
how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest
from the parasites of your parent's generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room.
RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners and losers,
but life has not. In some schools they have abolished
failing grades and they'll give you as many times as
you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get
summers off and very few employers are interested in
helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people
actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for
one.

Brain Teasers
If you have the answers, you can leave a comment or email the answers to me at julander@cox.net.
ANSWERS
1. The trains were crossing the bridge at different times during the morning.
2. First you would freeze the water in one or both jugs, them take the jug away, leaving only the ice.
3. Mount Everest
4. The peasant took one of the pieces of paper and tore it up. He then asked the king to show him the other piece of paper which, of course, said exile. The king, not wishing to appear fraudulent in front of his subjects, granted that the piece of paper the peasant picked must have said marriage.
5. The word wrong
Brain Teasers
1. There was an electrician and a plumber waiting in line for admission to the International Home Show. One of them was the father of the other one's son. How could this be possible?
2. It happened in midtown Manhattan during the July 4th celebrations, that Sam Slug walked several miles from West 63rd street without seeing anyone or being seen by anyone. It was a clear sunny day and he could see where he was going. He did not use any disguise or unusual method of transportation. Even though Manhattan was swarming with people, not one person saw him. How could this be possible?
3. Mel Colly stared though the dirty, soot-smeared window on the 26th floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression, he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously, after he landed, he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his decent, how could he have survived?
4. The day before yesterday, Suzie was nine years old. Next year she will be twelve. How is this possible?
5. Jed Recluse lived alone and preferred it that way. Jed never had any visitors and he never visited anyone. Since Jed never left his house, it was necessary to have supplies delivered every two weeks. One dark and stormy night, Jed lost control of his senses, turned off all the lights, and went to sleep. The next morning it was discovered that Jed's actions resulted in the deaths of several people. Why?
