Steam Team Obesity


The year is 2085. The world is a dark and morbid place, or should I say a morbidly obese place. You see our technology has advanced so much with robots and entertainment that no one moves anymore, after the zombie apocalypse of 2081. We have a one world government. This one government has no rules against monopolies so the McDonald's Corporation supplies the world’s food. The leader of this government is Ronald Machouse. He has set up a base in Greenland where he lives in a ice cube Fortress. The main area where people live is in Great Britain.  Machouse  rules with a iron fist, and no one is there to really stop him but one team.

There is a resistance a elite unit called Seal Team Obesity. There were five of them Biggs, Trap, Flop, Brock and me Mcbigity.

                                                                                                                                              

We were the survivors of Zombie apocalypse of 2081. We were trained by United States government to be a unstoppable force. Our unit was on the front lines with the rest of the Rangers. It was a bad deal there. So many Zombies were coming at us, it took only minutes for the line to fail. After I noticed that all hope was for the rest ranges, I instructed Briggs to open a man hole that was about a mile away. It took him over four hours to waddle there. At this point the guys were getting hungry so they started eating dead bodies of people what were in unrelated incidents with shipping containers. I saw a horde of zombies burst threw the wall, Briggs radioed to me that the man hole was open. We ending up rolling are way to safety. In the nastiness of what you call a sewer, Flop heard through the radio chatter that the breakout had been caused by a Big Mac. We had always known McDonald's was up to something especially after they bought chemical warfare company Blackwater. The Squad went through the sewers until they hit a brown fall, if you know what I mean. We ending up sending Flop up a sewer man hole but Flop got suck. Trap and I started rubbing fecal water and he fell right. The Squad Was all grossed out at this point. Biggs ended up planting bombs on the inside of the man hole. This caused a massive explosion that caused a huge hole to be there (where a man hole was). I waited about 30 seconds until I started moving forward. Then all of sudden, zombies started pouring in by dozens. I felt like we were in there for days, eventually Zombies stopped coming. Flop started to climb out of the man hole but Flop fell back in hole. Get it ;)         We were in a rural area. All you could see for miles was smoke, fires, undead and the occasional siren. Trap started saying words I can repeat in a school paper. Biggs tried to calm him down but trap was obviously gone for a while. Who could blame him? I heard a week later that U.S had fallen. The Squad waddled Their way to base. It took four years. The whole team had grown beards at this point. Brock was a studly fat guy. He broke open the gate. At this point Our team needed to get to the White House to talk to Bill Clinton Jr, who is the 120th president. I was hoping for some answers or maybe if there had been contact from the Avengers.

We found helicopter, the cargo one specifically. Our team couldn't fit in a normal one. We have to hook up the crew with zip line wires. We drove to White House that was burnt to the ground. There was a tunnel, though. We oiled up Flop and sent him down a tunnel. He later found Bill Clinton Jr was fight Hillary Clinton his mom. She was referred to as Godzilla in Japan. Either way, he said that McDonald's had taken over the world or what was left. So we rode in are cargo helicopter to Greenland. Greenland is a frozen ice cube with MacDonald’s fortress that was in the middle. Seal Team Obesity had a fart to heat converter. They spent two months of non stop farting and got their way to middle of the cube. Then they had to break into the fort. So he planted the bombs on the walls and broke through but then thousands of Ronald McDonalds showed up and captured them. They captured us, they put us in separate rooms. I was chained up, I had Twinkie in my pocket. I tweaked on the wall until it, fell out but then Machouse came in. Then said nice to meet you Mcbigity I thought you would died already. Mcbigity panting at this point said you..........su.........ck......... He then thrustered out of chains and stabbed Machouse with the sacred Twinkie, he got from Han Solo. Machouse jokes on you I can see the future and I turned everyone into creatures. Then a bomb went off and everyone turned into dinosaurs, wait what?

               

 

The bomb to destroy them all


            When the U.S started to fund the Manhattan project (1942). They had no idea what to expect. The Manhattan project to a normal person sounds like a crazy idea. Like come on, your telling me if I spilt an atom and it's going to cause a colossal explosion, more than typical bomb?We'll this was fact to the highest degree. The nuclear bomb was by far the strongest bomb in world by 1945. It was lucky that scientists in Manhattan project didn't blow the United States up.

 

The reason I take the stance I do is that Nuclear bombs are just plain terrible. My first beef is that when you drop a nuke you’re more than likely to kill innocent civilians (just because of its destructive power) and another thing there is no reason that the kids who didn’t know who or what U.S is should be wiped out of the face of existence. It’s really easy if you’re American to make jokes or say we had to but think about all those poor innocent people just gone, they had lives and stories. I felt very differently when starting this assignment. I know Japanese were going to fight till end but I’d rather kill 400,000 soldiers than children and women. Just think of that happened in Iowa and we were on losing side of the war. If a nuclear bomb was dropped on Iowa City on a normal day. My mom and my uncle would die. Now think if you lost family in a nuke. You think nuclear bombs would appear as much in popular culture if U.S city was attacked. I play videogames frequently and I have played call of duty modern warfare and Battlefield 3 what both feature a nuclear explosion going off. I don’t think that would be “ok” of 9/11 would have been a Nuke going off in New York City. Ironically when modern warfare 2 came out, it cause an uproar because it had an Airport shooting and people are very sensitive about a terror act what happen in an airport setting. It’s hard even to comprehend the number 400,000 let alone have that many people die. I don’t know what is  more terrible the loss in life or that they didn’t know it was even coming.

Here are a couple of reasons that nukes didn't have to be dropped.  My first reason is that japan was already up to their neck with U.S troops and with Germany destroyed this would’ve opened Russia to get a quick land grab and to fight side by side with U.S. The next reason would be that they could've just simply could've shown it to the Japanese, I think they would’ve backed off if they would’ve seen a 3 mile wide mushroom cloud and 11 miles tall mushroom cloud . Another reason is that it cost 24 billion dollars (adjusted for inflation). Think all of schools what could’ve been built and all the wasted tax payer dollars. Another reason is that this is America and we should never take the easy way out and using nuclear bomb is the easy way out. Another reason this is bad is that it kicked off the Cold War and it caused the  world to turn into uncertainty. It also caused every kid In the 50s to be paranoid that a nuke was going hit small town, middle of nowhere. Cold War also caused nukes to get more lethal and there are approximately 4,300 nukes armed and ready to go in a moment’s notice. The last case I have to make not to drop the bombs is that just think of 400,000 civilians what died in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. In a blink of an eye a population worthy 10% of Iowa just gone. They were school teachers, nurses and children just gone for what, some petty war.

Complex numbers



Complex numbers are used in Quantum mechanics , Video games and engineering.  Either way Complex number are a important part, of todays  society and are important to the 21st century. What are Complex numbers  well they are numbers that can’t  be given a numerical sign but a alternative sign such as I but to fully understand complex numbers we need to go to their origins. The godfather of complex numbers is Gerolamo Cardano and Raffael Bombelli was the mathematician what came up with rules of multiplication…… for complex numbers

Batman V. Beowulf

How do you compare these legends of pop culture that literally have thousands of stories about them. Well we going to try are best to go in depth.
                Well time periods would be a good place to start. So if you look at Beowulf it takes place in a mythical universe, I would like to think that he would be in the middle ages. Whereas Batman (the Christopher Nolan Trilogy ia the basis of this paper because it’s the greatest rendition of batman). Another difference is that Beowulf has super powers whereas batman has none but  he is trained and has technology. I think there both smart in their own ways such as Beowulf is wiser and Batman uses more of smart tactical approach where as Beowulf goes more of a gun blazing approach and figures out as he goes. Batman also has emotional baggage with parents and Rachel dying and Beowulf really doesn’t seem to have any real problems. I think at their core trying to do the same thing defeat “monsters” that harm people. The one big difference is Beowulf has more of a mercenary vipe where if Russians have a problem then Beowulf will get a boat and go there with his best 14 men and then about half of them will die and then Beowulf might feel like doing something. Where Batman pretty locked down in Gotham. You could debate what strategy is better because Gotham is going to be safe but Chicago is going to pretty rough or in Beowulf he will go back in fourth.  There fighting styles are very different In the way that Beowulf fights a mano a mano (aka when he’s naked) and Batman fights with every gun known to man and is Bricked out in armor.

                I think both heroes are cool in their own respects. I think Beowulf is cool because he likes fighting on a level playing field and batman is a normal human being and I think that makes him more admirable.

The Virginia plan



James Madison was born 1751 (Virginia). He would later attend Princeton. After that he was called to battle and served as colonel in the revolutionary war. After the war, it was time to build a country, so they enlisted the help of Madison and he wrote the bill of rights and is considered the father of bill of rights because author wasn’t cool enough. Some other important things to note is that, he was sectary of state during Louisiana purchase. He later became president of united states. He also was the president during the War of 1812 or what I like to call it the “revolutionary war 2”. Now to get back on topic He also had a huge say constitutional  convention what this paper is about.
The Virginia plan is basically summed up by the current House of Representatives system where population is determining factor when comes to how many representatives you get. This was proposed by the bigger states for obvious reasons(mostly so they Would have more power). Now smaller states proposed the New Jersey plan what had equal representation for each state regardless of population. The Virginia plan had three branches of Government and they were same as ares, Judicial , legislative and executive. Now the two Legislator house are interesting because one is elected by the people and other one is selected by the other house. They also have a President in this system but he can only be elected one term. This plan also haves the revision council what bills and laws go through. I actually really like this idea because we could higher super intelligent foreigners who could look at issues objectively. I think the system has it flaws such as two legislators with one of them being appointed by other legislator. I feel that wouldn’t really wouldn’t accomplish much. I think Virginia plan is decent in its own right but like any system it has its problems.

Satire Paper:We could poison alcohol

Problem: Alcoholism

Solution: We could poison alcohol

The Concept :By poison you mean poison? Yes now the way I imagine it, is that after you drink a beer containing the poison, you will get sick and be fine. The second and third time about same results but the fourth time you will get really sick and have to go the hospital. You will hopefully recover from that. Now the fifth time, will be the final nail in the coffin. What's time span you ask well.... Two weeks.  This will help the economically as people die there will be more jobs, meaning sober younger people can take over the ranks. This would also help with overpopulation because masses of people will die.  You were going to die from alcoholism  anyway. So let's speed up the process.
How:  we will need to get every alcohol/ beer Company involved with project Poison Snake. We will need a Virus what follows the “rules” above and we will hopefully create something controllable  and very lethal.  It only take a short amount of time, for people to figure out what’s happening and Alcohol sales will drop and world will be much better place.
After: Imagine where college kids pass, Drunk drivers don’t exist and think of billions of brain cells lost every day, we got rid of all the alcohol, Crime will drop 40%.*
*40% of all crime is alcohol related.
Utopia: I must ask you is it so crazy for thirty six million people die for the greater good of the world these people are 125% more likely to commit heinous crimes and put innocent at lives at risk.
ME?: So how does affect me any shape or form, well it doesn't. I am below drinking age and have no attention of even really drinking anytime soon.

The combat of the Koreas


The war consisted of Trench warfare just like in world war one, only now there were hills. Now in the beginning of the war the North Koreans completely destroyed the South Koreans because of North Koreas tanks or the lack of the South Koreans anti-tank weapons, or South Koreas untrained army didn’t help things either. Most battles in the Korean War dragged on and took days if not weeks for the them to get over. Both sides set up barred wire and build mini forts out of sandbags to protect themselves from outside gun fire and barrages by North Korean artillery. This was the first war to really utilize tactical radio. The war also was the first one to start using this “New” Technology, helicopters. The U.S was the first realize usefulness of all of these new technologies. The Korean War was the Seed to modern warfare to a lot of historians. Most of tactics used during Korean War were to break up already existing enemy lines on both sides they were using any strategy to break the enemy lines these included airstrikes , attacking at night and a popular tactics used by Chinese is that they would just send wave after wave to put down the American defensive line.  The air warfare in Korean war was interesting to say the least because it was such a major victory for the Americans. The Planes ratio was SK/NK 10/1 so just in a numbers game that had no chance. Most of the planes were from the allies of South Korea. North Korean planes were only from North Korea so this would explain why number might look so bad. A couple of other things what didn’t help was that U.N planes were far superior to North Koreans planes. The U.N pilots were far more trained a lot of them , some were world  war 2 veterans. The Korean war tactics are very unique and make It stand out compared to other wars.
