The author talks about how we can't really just live off of caffeine because it doesn't have everything we need to grow and help the process of digestion without more of our daily needs.

We and the caffeine loving bacterium, need nutrients like vitamins and minerals to get certain calories, which caffeine doesn't have.

Cellulose is the primary component of plant cell walls and accounts for the fiber in fruits and vegetables. we humans can't break down cellulose, so it just passes on through the body intact. But other creatures can extract calories from it, because they have bacteria living in their guts.

The specific reason caffeine isn't an energy source for us, thus, is that we don't have the gear to digest derivatives further. We can do other things with them-usually, we pop an oxygen on xanthine to make uric acid and pee it out-but taking them apart isn't possible.

I drink caffeine almost everyday. I'm drinking coffee every morning, and also I drink soda all day long and it taste good and I feel good. But if I don't drink milk or water once in awhile, I don't think it would be a very good idea.

So you can't just live on caffeine all your life, it's not a smart choice. If you don't get your usual daily nutrients in you will get bigger and bigger and you might die depending on what you do in your life.

The author talks about the air force making a aircraft secretly known as flying saucer.

The disc shaped craft-- which comes complete with an ejector seat and was powered by a "ram jet"-- was designed to reach a top speed of Mach 4 and reach a ceiling of 100,000 ft, according to a lengthy document, titled "Project 1794, Final Department Summary Report," and dated 1956.

"Six Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbo jets-- 1900 lb. thrust, 22.0" overall diameter, 525 lb. weight each-- mounted ridally in the wing, exhasting inwards; uses gas generators to drive a pair of contra-rotating centrifigual impellers.

"The efficiency of the airframe at supersonic speed appears, good and the engine reasonable, so that a long supersonic cruise range is also forcast."

I've heard of flying saucer's from outer space, but never would have thought americans would build an aircraft thought to be from out of this world.

If we can ever get a ship built like that we can be able to go out to space without space suits or rockets, just this flying saucer aircraft.

Book Review # 1

Darren Shan's Lord Loss gripped me with shocking intensity on every single page.
When I read this book the author's style was very reviting and exciting and i loved the way he intrigued me with is wording. I love everything about his writing style, it makes me visualize it in my mind and it makes it to where i can picture it in real life like I'm almost there doing what he says myself. His voice is sort of almost demon like, the way he says things and how he puts his words. Yes it is very unusual from all the other books I've read. All I can really tell u is you should really give this book a try, it will mess with your mind and make u feel like the things that happen, what if they could happen in real life...                 

Current Connection # 2

                                                          Crucified by Disturbed:
I'm gonna do my current connections on a song called Crucified by one of my favorite bands in the world Disturbed. I'm gonna talk about what i think the meaning of the song is from David Draiman the lead singer's point of view. Well for one thing I just got to say is David is a talented artist and a very great singer. David makes alot of songs and makes very good albums and his albums are based on things that happen in life to him and the government and pretty much things that happen in general to everyone in this world we live in. Well the song Crucified is about David's girlfriend/fiance leaving him and basically the song talks about how hard it is on someone when u break up with someone special to u. When he sings the song he lets the feelings he feels inside be brought out to release what he has so it doesn't overwhelm him and maybe do something crazy. He sings songs to appeal to what kids and teens go through everyday when they lose someone important to them and he shows that he's had that feeling before and that its natural in everyday life for this to happen to someone. I think David has a really great talent for singing and making great music for what people want to or do listen to in their lifetime and if u listen to Disturbed you can feel in every note the pure awesomeness of his music.
