-----Black Friday-----------------------------

Going shopping?!

Check out these awesome sites that compile all the advertisements in one place before you go!

Also if you go to best buy (at the bottom) for example on this site then find the item you want, try clicking on the money to see if you can buy it cheaper on amazon which has free shipping for most items.

The Black Friday

Black Friday Ads - seems to be online oriented. "As predicted, over 24 stores have started their online Black Friday sales more than 24-hours in advance of their in-store sale! We expect this number to continue to grow throughout early Thanksgiving morning."

P.S. I just used one of those sites to save $80 on something !

It was $149 and on sale for $99 with free shipping and a $30 free gift added!

-----Food Day: Fruits and Vegetables Become Animals-

-----Room Planner---------------------------

This would be an amazing tool if you were remodeling a room. It would also be helpful planning furniture purchases since you can set the exact sizes of the room and furniture itself. You can build any room or even outside area. Then you place objects in the space, including doors, windows, furniture, people even doggies

! It is really detailed and just fun to play with even if you don't have a project in mind. So have fun!

Roomful Express.

-----Giraffes DO make sound!------------------

Someone recently asked monkaaay to investigate an important issue:

Do Giraffes make noise? Apparently some Giraffe haters out there are

spreading a rumor that Giraffes don't have vocal chords.

That's ridiculous! Giraffes can make noise they just choose not to

most of the time, but here is a video in which a Giraffe makes noise

debunking the myth.

So next time your kids ask you

"Mommy what does the Giraffe do?" you can intelligently reply

"ARRRRRRHHHHHUUUHHHHHHHARRRRRRRHHHUUUUHHHHHH!"

monkaaay... bringing knowledge to children everywhere.

-----Sheik--------------------------------------------------------------

When trying to decide is Sheik was a first name, a last name or a title.... I found this entry on a website dictionary/thesaurus:

2. sheik - a man who is much concerned with his dress and appearance
dandy, fashion plate, fop, gallant, dude, beau, clotheshorse, swell
coxcomb, cockscomb - a conceited dandy who is overly impressed by his own accomplishments
macaroni - a British dandy in the 18th century who affected Continental mannerisms; "Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni"
adult male, man - an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman); "there were two women and six men on the bus"

This dictionary is just awful! What does macaroni have to do with Skeik? Also if you use "an adult person who is male" you should say as opposed to FEMALE, parallelisms people! (ooo alliteration.)

In conclusion... don't use the following link for your next research paper or work project: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sheik
