Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Under the harvest moon: 3 of 29
She was singing again tonight. He'd been listening to her song for at least a fortnight. Or so he thought it was a fortnight. When she sang, time didn't seem to move quite right. One moment is very much like another because nothing exists save the haunting sound of her voice. It dripped into the ears like warm candlewax, sof... More..
Pets & Animals > Cat Psychology Friendlier cats: Male or female?: 3 of 29
Over the past six or seven years I've had many experiences with different types of cats, both male and female. I've noted that affectionate cats possess certain behavior patterns that can clue you in as to what degree of love your cat has to offer. These behaviors can also be extremely annoying, but since cats tend to be so d... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Mythology & Folklore How to survive a zombie Apocalypse: 5 of 29
First off, do not panic! Panicky people make mistakes that are likely to get them killed. As long as you have all of your limbs and are able to grasp a weapon you have still got a chance at surviving. Be skeptical of the media. If the media is getting reports that the war is going well, that may only be what the government w... More..
Sciences > Mathematics Division by zero: Is it really impossible?: 7 of 40
I'll let you know up front that I'm not a mathematician. When I was in school I probably generated a half ton or more of eraser shavings from redoing botched math problems and there was more than one occasion where I stared in blank incomprehension at a page of algebraic equations, wondering about the sanity of mathematicians...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dogs: 34 of 176
This dog is smellyHas fleas on his bellyWill bite at your handWon't come on demandThis dog is lazyAnd probably crazyEats bugs in the airGets knots in his hairThis dog is mineAnd I think he's fineHe may be a foolBut that just makes him cool More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Babies (Other) Should parents bring baby to the movie theater?: 9 of 46
There's no point in bringing baby to the movie theater. Infants are too young to comprehend the action on the screen. They won't understand or really care when Dwayne "Rock" Johnson helps some humanoid teenage aliens find their spaceship or when Megatron beats the bolts out of Optimus Prime. Even Pixar movies may not be able ... More..
Sciences > Psychology How to control your anger: 10 of 39
Everyone gets angry. Even the nicest little fluff bunny who refuses to kill spiders, rescues lost kittens, and volunteers at the local homeless shelter has a hidden fuse that, once lit, can release a devastating blast of pent-up fury. I should know, because I consider myself to be a nice person. At least until the wrong toe g... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A gentle touch: 56 of 198
Blood seeps from an open woundI made sure that the knife was dullDepression grows like moss on a tombLike mould inside a skullNot all the marks are on my skinOld scars go deeper than fleshI've given in to the darkness withinAll the sins I'm too scared to confessThen she came, with courage to dareTo touch my damaged shellHer g...

Arts & Humanities > Comic Books & Graphic Novels Who would win in a fight: Spiderman or Venom: 2 of 7
I think this debate was pretty much settled by the end of Spiderman 3 and if you haven't seen the end of that movie here it is in brief. Spiderman won. Though Venom did give Spidey quite a decent beating, both psychologically and physically, and also managed to take out a major enemy before being overcome. As cool as Venom is... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Listening: 14 of 41

When I sing to you, do you really listen?My voice cracks and my throat runs dryMangling the music that wants to emergeYet you smile as if it's the best you've heardWhen I speak to you, do you really listen?To the words I'm not saying, long silencesThe subtle hints I give through my fingersAnd the scent of sadness on my breath...
