They though it wasn’t possible but they were wrong for the first time ever scientists had found Shark poo. They say it’s as thick as your arm and smells bad even under the water. They were so exited of the discovery that will help them to learn more about Sharks that they scooped out the poo from the water. They said is really good to get their poo because they don’t know so much about Whale Sharks since is the biggest fish in the world. Thanks too the poo they know much more about their feeding habitats, they also said that they are ussualy doing poo much more deeper under the the water.Down there as my widget is the MAMA of all Quizes, it is pretty hard but once you get the hang of it it’s fun.
Did you there are some school and even whole countries that have been doing well with out homework for 35 years, check out this link for more Information.
This History Page defines Halloween as:
Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).
The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.
To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.
During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.
The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of “bobbing” for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.
By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints’ Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints’, All Saints’, and All Souls’, were called Hallowmas.
Opinion: I think it’s a really good explanation and you see that fire up there is not made of wood is actually made out of bones to scare away the evil spirits.

Last day I was playing around on this site and I saw this article about Peru.It’s really funny because I never knew that a Meteorite hit ted Peru and I’m from Peru all my family lives there.
The meteorite hit ted Peru on Puno a rural place on Peru. The crater that they founded was massive with 39meters size. People are feeling ill because of the gases the crater had even cows and bulls where dying. Scientists were taking samples and not letting people get there. They think It’s a Meteorite because all the meteorites throw smelly gases when they hit earth.
