Gene is a structure and mansion of life. It is the general term for the special nucleotide sequences with genetic effect in DNA molecules. The resemblance of children to their parents is caused by the reproductive function of genes, which pass on the genetic information to the next generation. The different gene structures account for why the white race is white race, black race is black race, yellow race is yellow race, dog is dog, and rose i

The kids had gone and the old man took a cup of coffee from the coffee pot on the stove, filled a glas with lemonade for the boy and took a seat on his old armchair opposite the boy. Between both stood only an old wooden table. On the table lay some journals, some medical journals and some about gardening and farming.

The boy took a sip of lemonade, looked at the old man and said: "I have seen a shelf with so many medical books and also there are many of them also here on your table. I also noti

Reading Danny’s Writing Challenge: Back to Idioms and Phrasal Verbs I over-confidently thought that it was not a big deal and I would run off a story based on all the idioms provided by him.  But that was not the case. I ran on thinking how to cope with it.  I ran my mind hard over some hints, some points, some ideas, but my mind was totally blocked.  It seemed that I was running like a hairy goat.  I was feeling like I ran out of all the thoughts, ideas, even glimpses of some romance.  “Oh!

My friends, I have written my story to demonsrate the use of idioms. It is a true story. Enjoy and learn!

Well, I often run myself into the ground overworking and taking to heart what isn’t worth a bean. But about 3 years ago I decided to reward myself and bought a very good expensive car I had always dreamt about. It was just an ordinary spring day I will never forget, it was already hot and rainy and I decided to get to work by my new car I was still running in. It was my first drive on the hig

My dear friends, I couldn't decide what task to propose you. I wanted to post something both useful and interesting. But yesterday I saw a car accident on the highway. Fortunately, there happened nothing serious and it helped me come up with this idea.

Well, the idea is following. I will tell you some idioms and phrasal verbs with the verb TO RUN and will ask you to write your stories using at least 5 of them. If some of the expressions are not clear enough, just ask me for more explanations and

Brain—epitome of the universe

All the material wealth created by man is a realistic reflection of man’s brain. Man’s thinking, memory, speech, and actions are all attributes of human brain. That a society can be organically united to accomplish a goal is also the result of brain activity. All Nobel Prize winners and great men in history distinguish themselves from others because they have made full use of their brains.

Scientists are still far far away from uncovering the mys

Upon a time lived an old man near to a little village and everyone of the local peopleo had heard about him but nobody has known him so really. He lived outside of the village in an old farm house. The house was very old but it was surrounded by a beautiful flower garden.

He always had gone very rarely to the small village. Only if he needed buying some things from the little store, he went shopping. He didn't need so much because he planted potaoes, vegetables at a little farmland. He owned als

It is May? Oh.. No, Not yet.. 

I guess as long as April is running, then there is still a time for new participation... Sorry Danny, I guess it's better to come late than not to come at all.. And thus, here it is my participation on Danny's Challenge: Fool's Day.

I remembered this event, when I left a comment on Mary's blog about valuing and loving our toes the way they deserve.. 

It happened once that I was playing a joke on my family. I told them that "Scientists say that the face of human being

Hello guys,

Today we had a cool game in the EC main chat room.. 

The game is about asking a question, while others should be requested to give the most stupid possible answer on it.. Well.. that's crazy, I know.. but still that's not as easy as you may think.. Today I tasted how people could play stupid and I was very shocked that people here were unable to take it in stupid way at all..

One day a primary class student asked teacher. "Why people are marrying?" Teacher got shocked but recovered immediately.

He can give a lot of answers but how can convince a primary student.

He decided to give a story.

One day many ants were coming from far. Suddenly all got good smell. The caption of the ant found it is coming from near tree.

He told " All wait here I will go and look it and call you guys"

He went and all others were waiting for captions return.

“I told you I’m not yet ready to be a father, my parents will have a heart attack if they find out about this!” he yelled.

“But… what will I do? My dad will surely kill me knowing this too!” she yelled back.

“I know what to do. I have a friend who has a contact to one abortionist… I will call him, they did that before and it was done professionally”, he lowered his voice and now trying to call someone from his phone.

Today I found a funny tag in Twitter that was trending topic: #ThingsILearnedfromCartoons and it made me think about all these cool crazy things that are just possible in an animated world. 

Here are some replies I've read there that I can relate too (I added a couple of my own as well)

THINGS I LEARNED FROM CARTOONS:

1. Sarcasm. How could I live without it?!! :P

2. Physics and logic mean nothing.

(Pink Panther, my master of nonsense! ^_^)

3. Monsters are just greedy humans in masks.

4. You can fly
