        AURORA BOREALIS
3rd Place February 09 The Aurora Borealis is an astronomical phenomena in which energetic particles light up the upper atmosphere with a luminous glow. It is understandable that tribes of the past tried to make sense of this eerie, awe inspiring affect! Over the years the explanations of teh Northern Lights have varied greatly:

          AFROS
The greatest thing about the afro is that for those that have the right kind of hair, its almost no work. So few things that stand out are so easy. I was born with perfect afro hair, it took me 19 years to have the guts to go for it, and by age 25 I was too bald to pull it off. So I love the afro, from a distance. There are so many reasons why they rock:

Look, I didn't want to have to break this to anyone, but the Aurora Borealis is fake.
It was invented by the Canadian Governor General in 1890 as a way to promote tourism, and is created by spraying our clouds with kool-aid. Simple, really, but the hoax has taken on a life of its own.
The excess kool-aid is messy and kind of gross. It's wasteful, phony, and not that awesome.

Actually, am I the only one who thinks that story makes it MORE Awesome?
reply
Science is so kool!
reply
Anyone ever seen Afro Samurai? Samuel L. Jackson as an anime character! now, that is AWESOME! Gotta go w/ afro's on this one for that reason!
reply
