Ideas
What ideas do you have? About anything at all in the whole
world, the whole universe? Tell us! They can be something you might find silly, or amazing, or just something that
wonders you. You can muse about random things, or write down questions that you have. While we urge you not to
plagerize or become a copycat, read the ideas and see what others think of what they see, hear, smell, taste, feel,
think about or wonder.
Here are your Ideas
Camp
is like one of my favorite things in the world, and so is reading harry
potter, and so if i do both at the same time, its like a waste of fun
-Jake, 15-18, Mass
"our
president is a genious and we should let him rule over us until the
end of time"
sarcasm
-Alex, 15-18, Mass
Sugar
and water tastes
bad. Sugar and water with just a hint of lemon tastes even worse. So
why is it that everyone loves sugary water with a bit of lemon and bubbles
in the form of Sprite? Why do bubbles make everything tastte better?
-Elizabeth, 13, NYC, NY
Death. If you died, do you ever wonder if your siblings would take your
room? What would they do to it? Do your parents go through your deepest
things. Even worse: do your siblings tell them about your deepest things?

: I am obsessed.
The reason
Sarah McLachlan singing Ol'55 sounds so weird, is that it's so beautiful,
and you wonder why it never occured to you before./
My keyboard has usually been drinking, and is indeed, perpetually drunk,
and yet I have never seen it drinking. But still, I say: My keyboard
has been drinking, not me."/
If Tom was called Fred, I would not believe in him./
If Tom was called Bob, he would be bald, as is the way of Bobs. Or he
would be a lamp post. A fancy lamp post at U of O. My other hero. Besides
Magoo. And Tom Waits, of course. So if Tom was Bob, he would still be
my hero. But he would look rather strange bald. Because he would not
have lots of characteristic curls. Unless perhaps he wore a wig, wich
he might, but it would be more likely to be a shoe. That is a Tomish
thing./
If Tom didn't smoke and get all throat cancery, would he still be super-corn?/
If Tom was never a professional drunk, his existence would be completely
irrelevant to me, even though I am not a drunk./
Tom is obsessed with shoes. Therefore, I should be obsessed with shoes.
But I hate shoes with a passion. Just like my little noctunalism theory.
If we weren't such wimps to begin with, we'd all be born with calluses,
and glow in the dark eyes, and the day people, not the night people
would be the ones society would forget. EEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!! But no, night
people and barefoot people are rejected and told to put their shoes
on, even in places that are not LeBreton flats./
No one has heard of Tom except the bass player in Painting Daisies,
and people who hate him with a passion./
Rickie is not Tom. People say she is, but she's not. She sounds like
herself. She doesn't even sound like Sarah McLachlan or Holly Cole or
other such people who sing Tom songs. Nor does she sound like the bass
player from Painting Daisies. You don't become your ex-boyfriend.
Is the moon a Grapefruit or a Bananananananana?

"Tornados are swirly and take houses with them. If you are caught
in a tornado you will go to Oz. Helpless cows are caught in tornados.
Those poor spotted creatures. I pity the cows. At least they get to
chew their cud. Sara just put a plus on my beautiful handiwork. I am
terrified. I'm picking my nose and sticking it in the cheese puffs.
My friend spells cheeze with a z. Her name is Liz too. But she's wierd.
She goes to my school. She's new there and very loud. I had to explain
that cheese is spelled with an s. She asked why. I said I did not know.
Because, while I am very clairvoyant and intelligent I do not know or
understand the misitcism of spelling."- Lizzy, Fairview TX
"You know the name Robert, and from that comes Rob and Bob, shouldn't
there be a name Bobert", "I was the one who really thought
up E=mc2, it was all me","Mrs. Dwyer stinks","Why
are the learn English signs in English?", "Time. Time must
have gone on forever before us. Humans think we're so important, but
you see on all of the PBS specials how we only exist for a tiny piece
of the earth's history. But think about how small a fraction humans
are of the whole history of the universe. That's pretty small right.
But now think about what came before time. If there was a time before
time, then that must have been a time too. Was there ever a beginning
of time? Same thing with space, you've got all all of this overcrowding
on Earth, so we're seeing if we could move to another planet, but then
what happens when you get to the end of space. Are we just in a big
black box? What's beyond that, is it just white space.... but that's
more space... So how can there be an end of space...Whoa, Psychadelic,
we're so little."- Josie P. NYC, NY
"Sometimes I really really wonder where in the world they get our
substitute teachers. I mean, in elementary school we had such nice ones,
yeah, there was this woman called Winnie who used to bring in puppets
and stuff. Well, in middle school the substitute teachers stink! I mean
honestly, if you are the spanish substitute isn't it possible that one
of
the four languages that you are constantly bragging about knowing fluently
should be spanish? Well, I guess this isn't the case in NYC public schools.
You know what, anyone can be a public school substitute teacher as long
as they have a college degree and no criminal records. Scary huh?"
- Jimei H. NYC, NY
"I see
a teacher who isn't afraid to take the class outside to look at the
clouds, and I think it's a shame to see one who cowardly makes the class
read about clouds in a musty, thick, old textbook."- Sara V. Brooklyn,
NY
