Here is a list of things you can do or read online!

Cool Roms

Cool Roms is a site that you can visit to download games for free.  All of the games are pretty old but should work fine on your computer.  If you choose a complex game it is less likely to actually work.

(personal favorite!  Play it at school all the time!)

Steps:

1) Go to coolrom.com and hover above emulator.

2) Choose the emulator that you want to download.

3) Pick the emulator with the highest rating.  (This emulator might not end up working if you don’t see it as a zip file in your downloads.  You’ll have to go back and try another emulator with a lower rating)

4) Click download at the bottom and then another window will appear that will say “Download Your File” that you should again click.

5) Once you see the zip file right click it and choose extract all.

6) Hit extract again.

7) You can leave it in your downloads or you could move it over to a flash drive or desktop.  (If you put it on a flash drive you can play it on other people’s computers)

8) Now We’ll have to get roms (The games).

9) Go back to the site and hover over the rom files and choose the system you had just downloaded an emulator for.

10) Choose the game you want.

11) Click download.  Then another window will appear saying “Download Your File” and click that too.

12) Right click the game you just downloaded in your downloads and extract all.

13) Click extract again.

14) Drag the game into the emulator file and then drag it into the emulator.  (Usually there will be a picture that represents the emulator)

Another Tale Of Little Red Riding Hood

Honestly Little Red Riding Hood is a pretty boring story.  It’s about a confused little girl running through the forest by herself to deliver some food to her dying grandmother.  Anyhow both the little girl and the grandmother end up consumed by the wolf.  There are a few other original verses of little red riding hood though.  In one of the original stories The wolf meets Little Red and they decide to meet at her grandmother’s.  This time when the wolf arrives he doesn't immediately eat the grandmother.  He ties her up and prepares her to be eaten.  When Little Red arrives she sees her “grandmother” lying in bed with a bowl of soup.  Another bowl of soup is offered to Little Red.  And as you have already assumed Little Red and the wolf were actually eating grandmother together!

…Oh My God, right?  …I hope they saved room for that basket of food.

What To Expect When Taking A Fist To The Face ...By Superman

In the comics it claims that superman can punch you into space, but how would it actually turn out?  Superman can lift 200 quintillion tons with one hand, fuel the sun, and separate dimensions with his fist.  It is shown that Superman can travel the speed of light, but nothing with that much mass could actually travel that fast, so instead we’ll say he travels 1% less than the speed of light.  296,794,533 miles per second.  If his fist is 300 grams (or 0.661387 pounds) and it travels 99% the speed of light it would have energy of 190,000,000,000,000,000 joules.  That is the same as 45 megatons of tnt or 2,800 times stronger than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  As a result the energy released from the impact would be equivalent to 143,999,999,999,540.3 F.  That is 5 million times hotter than the core of our sun.  Since his fist is traveling at the speed of light your eyes wouldn’t be able to send the image to your brain meaning you would’nt see it happen.  This would destroy architecture and everything around it.  There would be a giant mass of smoke and flame surrounding you.  Well actually there wouldn’t be a “you”.  The atoms would actually be knocked out of you.  That’s why it’s cooler to stick with Batman.

Cool Movies And Shows (All Comedy)

1) Home Movies

A show about three kids who come home every day to film their own movies.  It's dry comedy (the best kind).

2) Lucy, Daughter Of The Devil

This show is about Lucy and how her father, Satan, continues to humiliate her.  They deal with some giant monsters and haunted houses.  It comes on late on adultswim so you might not have heard of it.

3) The Mighty Boosh

An uncle and his nephew are a couple of groovy free spirits dealing with obstacles everyday.

4) Kick Ass

Hit Girl and Kick Ass continue to defend the world from evil.  It's tough for them and they don't usually leave situations unscathed.

5) Code Monkeys

A show designed to look like a video game is about a corporation that makes ..videogames.  They have a rival corporation that also makes videogames.  They aren't really professional and commonly goof off and get wasted.

6) FLCL

This show is pretty hard to understand.  I don't fully comprehend it myself.  A kid has to deal with his family and friends constantly bugging him.  Every episode looks like it was created while someone was on drugs.

7) Super Milk Chan

Milk Chan is not intended for kids.  It's kind of like the power puff girls, but for adults.  It is about a normal, violent girl who gets calls daily from the mayor to save the world.  She doesn't always follow through with them.

8) Children’s Hospital

A hospital for children duuh.  More about themselves than the children.

9) Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell

Another show about the common office life ..in hell.  Two coworkers are hassled literally 24/7 to collect souls.

10) Bleach

My favorite, Bleach.  The woman above is Rukia Kuchiki!  Her and Ichigo are soul reapers.  People who defend the world from everything that threatens it.
