Alternatives for Keys

I researched three alternatives for keys.

Iris Recognition

Good point- Very accurate.
Bad point - Costs a lot of money.

Password code

Good point- It’s very simple, and cheap.
Bad point- People can hack it, and you might forgot the password.

Fingerprint

Good point- There is only one kind of each pattern of fingerprint in the world, so others can’t hack into your home.

Bad point- You’ll be mistaken if your thumb got a cut.

Dihydrogen Monoxide Poster

In April 2013, two presenters at Gator Country 101.9, a radio station in Lee County, Florida, told listeners dihydrogen monoxide was coming out of their water taps as part of an April Fool's Day hoax and were suspended for a few days by the station's general manager, Tony Renda. Renda later told NewsPress: "It is one thing when radio stations change their format or other crazy things they do. But you are messing with one of the big three, food, water or shelter. They just went too far; I just knew I didn't like that." The prank resulted in several calls by consumers to the local utility company, which sent out a release stating that the water was safe.


Make your own warning poster about this substance to put above the tap in the classroom.

The English Languge

Some people say that you’re a dear,
yet dear is far from cheap.
A jumper is a thing you wear.
yet a jumper has to leap.
It’s very clear it’s very queer,
and pray who’s to blame
for different meanings to some words
pronounced and spelt the same?
A little journey is a trip,
a trip is when you fall.
It doesn’t mean you have to dance
whene’er you hold a ball.
Now here’s a thing that puzzles me:
musicians of good taste
will very often form a band -
I’ve got one round my waist!

Harry Helmsley

A desert is something sweet you eat,
yet a desert is full of sand.
Kids whine when they hurt their feet,
yet some drink wine of a certain brand.

North pole is where Santa works,
yet a telephone pole deliver signals.
Presents are given to children who behaves,
yet people are present at a funeral.

Nice work

Never use the word YUMMY, our teacher said.
It doesn’t mean a thing!
Try…  delightful, pleasant, delicious,
tempting, mouthwatering, tasty,
appetizing, flavourful, juicy–
the choice is as long as a string!
But please, never use the word YUMMY,

it just doesn’t mean a thing!
