Everyone has their favorite car manufacturers but my favorites are BMW and Mercedes-Benz. I have always hade a thing for luxury cars and speed. These two cars give it both. My alltime favorite cars from both Mercedes and BMW are the two flagship (if the company had a flag that car would go on it) cars. The flagship car for Mercedes is the S-600. The flagship car for BMW is the 760Li. Both of these cars are fast and offer luxury. The Mercedes “STAR” stand for “land, air, and sea” because those are the engines they make. BMW stands For “Bavarian Motor Works”

The poison dart frog is a tiny little frog that lives in the rainforests of South America and in warm humid climates. These little guys can grow to be 1/2 inch to 2 inches big! Despite their small size these frogs can produce ALOT of poison that can kill humans if gets into a cut or your mouth! The most deadliest poison dart frog is the Golden poison dart frog that can produce enough poison to kill 10 humans! Indians gatherd a buch of these frogs put them near a fire and waited until a slime came up from their bodies, after the slime came up indians collected it and put it on their arrow heads or darts to kill predetors faster and from a distance. That is all I have to tell you about the poison dart frog.

Buddhism was founded in ancient India about 2,500 years ago by Buddah, Shakyamuni who was born in Nepal. Their god is Buddha wich means the enlightened one. In Buddhism the sacred book is the tripitika. Today 359.981,000 people practice buddhism. In Buddhism there are three teachings the Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana teachings. Buddhism attained realization in about 531 B.C.E, the Buddah taught Buddhism untill he passed away in 486 B.C.E. Before the Buddha passed he taught all of the Buddhist teaching’s. When I was writing this paragraph I learned alot of new things about buddhism and how people practice it. That is all I have  to tell you. I got my info at this website. below are pictures of buddhas.

Pantera is a heavy metal band that I like too. I got their first cd when my 2 cousins burned it for me. The cd was called Greatest Hits. Unfortunetly Their ex lead guitarest Darrel Abbot (Born 8/20/66 Died 12/8/04) was shot at a concert and passed away. That is all I have to tell you about pantera. Below is a picture of Pantera .

Mudvayne is another heavy metal band that I like. One of my favorite songs is called dig from their album L.D.50. I got their first cd when my 2 cousins burned it on the computer for me, and I’ve liked them ever since. When you get to the web site that I linked. Go to the video/multimedia section and listen to some songs!Another interesting thing about Mudvayne is that they were differnt costumes every time they perform. Below I have a picture
of my personal favorite costume.

System of a Down is one of the best metal bands in the world (in my opinion). My cousins first got me hooked to listening to heavy metal music. So far I have only 2 of their albums . I also like Mudvayne and Pantera which are other metal bands. If you read this you should tune in to some of their music. Below are some pictures of System Of A Down.

Ah,the Suez Canal a brilliant piece of history,people,and enginering. First I’ll speak of its engineering. Stretching about 101 miles it connects the Red Sea to the Mediteranean Sea. Without the canal traders from around the world would have to make a 6,000 mile extra journey. After a great deal of work the canal finally opened in 1869. The debt of this canal put Egypt in its place of not being able to pay it off. Great Britian then took it from them. After a series of wars Eygpt signed a treaty saying the canal is free to all nations.

Next the history of the Suez Canal! The history of the Suez Canal is very very interesting. Lets start from point A the year it was attempted to be built but failed because of sand storms that clogged it up. About 150 years ago England had a massive trade with India, but theirs a hitch the ships would have to go around South Africa without the canal. The canal cut the trip about 6,000 miles. In 1956 an Egyption president took the canal and declared it property of Egypt. Egypt had to fight 3 awful wars against Isreal to get it back. Now you know abit of the Suez Canals history. Now you know about an extrordinary piece of work….the Suez Canal
