72 Dangerous Animals

By: Alex Porter

10. Portuguese Man O’ War

This is a jellyfish that is actually

multiple different creatures and

you shouldn’t mess around with

these things. You can find these

jellyfish in the Atlantic area

around Portugal, or in the

Caribbean Sea. Man O’ War stings

are as common as they are

dangerous. And they are

dangerous. The way to treat the

sting is how to treat other

jellyfish stings, which is usually

warm water.

тሠ〇 բ।៴ල ¢ሮпtร A hijacked column by Michael Allen Licheam Lenal (Happy Valentines Day!)

NOTE: Michael here. Just in case you missed the last Two Cents, this once fair and just column has been corrupted by Licheam Lenal, an evil mastermind and hater of yours truly. I’m hatching plans involving a skeleton key and a fake fire drill to take back Two Cents Headquarters (pun intended).

Five - Cent Symbols Here are some cool symbols. I guess. Michael was bad at this column stuff. Ω This is omega. It’s in the Greek alphabet or something. *sigh* I should really be doing my own stuff, not this trash that Michael had planned. π Oh great, a math symbol. This is pi, a thing that you use for doin’ math stuff with circles. It stands for 3.1415926... Ø Another math symbol, null. It means that a question has no answer. Sadly, most teachers won’t take this as a valid answer. ≅ The last math thingie. I think that it means “approximately equal to”. At least that’s what Michael’s notes say. ➠➟ And here are some pretty arrows. Reminds you of Back to the Future, doesn’t it?

Five - Cent Code: Five-Cent Story

Go jump in a lake, Two Cents. This is MY column now, and I will do WHATEVER! I! WANT! Ok, I’m done venting. Here’s my sob story, The Ballad Of Licheam Lenal:* *Not actually a ballad I was once a small boy, living in the small European country of Coenquidinck (Co-Ink-ee-dink). I was poor, and had 10 siblings- 5 brothers (Mincheam, Binkeam, Figeam, Doopeam, and Bob) and 5 sisters (Leamette, Beamette, Cleamette, Pheamette, Eeamette). Did I mention that I was poor? Oh yeah, my parents had leprosy too. I’m not the villain anymore, am I?

Ok, ok. I was an only child and grew up in California. But i’m still not evil!

Winnie The Pooh Backstory (Kind of)

By Lilly Goldfarb

This might ruin your childhood and make it sad if you watched Winnie The Pooh, so beware. Also people with mental illnesses definitely aren’t crazy and deserve respect. So, supposedly, some of the characters in Winnie The Pooh have mental illnesses. I heard this from a video (credit to Shane Dawson who inspired me) so it might not be true, so it's basically a conspiracy. According to this theory, Winnie has impulsivity. Impulsivity is where someone immediately reacts instead of thinking before they act. In this theory, Piglet has anxiety. Anxiety is where you get stressed a lot and sometimes you get really nervous. Roo (the baby kangaroo) has autism. If you have autism it is difficult for you to socially interact. Tigger has ADHD. ADHD is a condition marked by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and sometimes impulsivity. Eeyore has depression. Depression is when your brain messes up your emotions, like it might make you extra sad or make it hard to feel things the way you used to or the way other people do. Rabbit has OCD. OCD means you have a tendency towards excessive orderliness, perfectionism, and great attention to detail. According to this theory, Kanga (the mom of Roo) has social anxiety. Social anxiety is where some people are really quiet and they don’t talk a lot. And Owl has dyslexia. Dyslexia is where people’s brains mix up their words and letters and can make them read words wrong. These might not be true so it's just a conspiracy theory. I might start doing more conspiracies so tune in next time!

Upcoming Movies

By Alex P.

1. Avengers Endgame

This is most likely the final battle between the rest of the Avengers and

Thanos. With half of the population wiped out it is gonna be difficult to

win this battle. Who will win? Rated PG-13.

Iron Man

2. Godzilla King Of The Monsters

I’m sure that most people know who Godzilla is right? Well this is

gonna be the monsters Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah and of course

Godzilla himself fighting against each other until there is the true king.

In the last fight against Ghidorah, the other three (Mothra, Rodan and

Godzilla) had to fight together against Ghidorah to actually defeat him.

So who will win? Rated PG-13.

Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah

Tips and Tricks for Pets

(Dogs Edition) Written by: Apple Majors

Do you have a dog? Well if you do, it’s your

lucky day! I will be giving you a list of

simple things that you can do to keep your

dog happy and healthy!

1. Rotate toys- Like us people, dogs can

get bored of their toys. Some people

leave out one toy; some leave out all

the toys they have. But you should

leave about two toys out, and have

some other toys that you can swap

out with the old toys. This will

ensure that you dog is very happy.

2. Go on walks- If you have a dog, you

should know that you must take your

dog on walks. Walks are good for

you and your dog; you and your dog

get exercise. Walks are also good for

your dog’s mind, they need to go

outside. It is unhealthy for a dog to

be inside 24/7.

3. Train obedience- Your dog must not

think it is the KING/QUEEN. You are

the KING/QUEEN. It will make you

and your dog happier, maybe your

neighbors too.

4. Let him sniff. You have enough time

to let your dog sniff around, right?

5. Brush your pup’s teeth. Your dog

will be so much happier if it has a

good and fresh mouth!

CALI NEWZZZZZZZZ

By Cali Swartz

Valentine’s Day, my arch nemesis. I, for one, hate Valentine’s Day. I

don’t like Valentine’s Day because of all the note-passing and the

candy buying. Note: This is all my opinion and should, in no way, be

used to insult anyone or to be said as fact, just my opinion.

Anyway, I don’t like Valentine’s Day also because of all the dances

and hearts and lovey-dovey things that people decorate with. That’s

all, folks! See you next time where I talk about video games to try.

Byeeee!

YouTube’s Most Annoying Moments!!!

BY: Jayden W.

Have you ever had a time when you were watching Youtube (or an

app you can watch something on) and you were at the best part of a

video and then, Boom! One of three things happens: Your device dies; A

two-minute ad pops up and it won’t let you skip it; or your Internet or

service is slow and the loading sign appears for a long time.

The reason I’m asking this is because, I get super ANGRY when this

happens. The only thing left that I have to say is, “GOD PLEASE STOP THIS

FROM HAPPENING, I BEG YOU!!!!!!!!” Another thing is when your video

has terrible quality but, when an ad pops up, it has godly quality. Here is

a true fact, The longest 5 seconds of anyone’s life is waiting to click the

skip ad button. If feels like that to me at least.

SAVE FORTNITE

Created by Rocco Pingue

We all know Fortnite. The famous game that is DYING because of APEX

LEGENDS!!!!!. Apex Legends is a fun game that is like if Overwatch and

Fortnite were mixed together into one battle royale game. Now, Apex Legends has only been out for about a week now and a lot of people are playing it. In fact, the number of people playing it is more than Fortnite had when it started. So I say we play both Fortnite and Apex Legends an equal amount. Please do not let Fortnite die.

PLEASE!!!

Save Fortnite PLEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE By: Fortnite Lover AKA Ben Taylor

There is currently a game contesting Fortnite called Apex Legends and I’m not losing faith or anything, but I don’t know if Fortnite will survive. SOOOO I need your help, your mission is to advertise Fortnite as much as you can. Also play whenever possible. Now remember kids, wear your seatbelt.

The History of Valentine’s Day By Laasya Shrikari Valasala

The day of Saint Valentine’s Day has an old history that traces back to Roman times. It was once

called Luprecalia and was celebrated by the Romans in mid-February to purify the city and drive

away evil spirits. Later at the end of the 5th century Pope Gelasius replaced the festival with the

holiday we now know as VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
