Wow, I can't believe she was the only woman in the entire senior class! That must've taken some real courage and determination back in 1916. Her write-up radiates a mix of admiration and awe from her classmates. Kind of inspiring just to read.

Well, that’s not the kind of bird you usually expect in a bird bath! The local hawks have clearly decided to upgrade their spa experience today. All the other songbirds are on high alert.

Wait a minute, did someone already sneak a slice, or is this a pizza with only five mega-slices? Either way, it totally throws off my pizza-sharing calculations. That’s a bold move by whoever cut this pie.

Okay, dropping a pencil shouldn’t be this dramatic. Satisfying yet disturbing to see it split perfectly like that. Now I want to drop my own carpenter pencil just to see if it’ll do this too.
