Riddles- On Everyone's Face

On Everyone's face:
We are a pair, We can dart here and there, Though we always stay in one place. We can smile or shed tears, Show our pleasure or fears, And you'll find us on everyone's face. What are we?

Derren Brown-Trick of the Mind


Derren Brown is a British magician/hypnotist who can make so many outstanding things happen!
I watched one of his shows last night, It is called Trick of the Mind and is shown on channel One. In the show i watched, he did something very extrodinary. He took 32 dancrs, male and female, to an old hall. The halll is very famous and very old. He was going to let the dancers witness something odd that was witnessed since the room opened. He got the dancers to get into groups of 4, and stand all around the table. Derren told the dancers to look into the center of the wooden table and visualise a life force inside it. After a minute or so, he said, " Quickly! Put your hands on the table!" The dancers did as they were told. " Now don't move. Take deep breaths and focuse on the center of the table. Feel the life force. You will witness something very weird. It will feel odd, but just go along with it."
I was shocked. After another minute or so, The tables started to move. One by one they started spinning, faster and faster. It was like seeing a group of dancing tables! No-one pushed the tables and the tables were ordinary wooden antiques. It was as if the dancers gave an inanimate object life, give the tables their own power of dancing. The hall is one of the only places this phenomenon could happen. I was happy I saw it.

H.A.N.D.S.


As most may know, Kittykat and I have started H.A.N.D.S, a club to share interest in animals. We have a club council and members will switch every now and then so people have a chance to experience leadership. We have a blog for our webpage and will be doing various things throughout the year (or how long HANDS lasts!). You will be able to take part in organising fundraisers, presenting the SPCA with the funded money (thanks to rm5!) and heaps more. You even get your own badge! As you do more for the club, you get chances to participate in more things. We also have a MOTF (member of the fortnight) system. People who do well get acknowledged and receive prizes! There will be an randomly selected animal to study on every week. It is completly optional, but we encourage you to do it!
Remember that even though Kittykat and I are the mangers of this club and wanted to be treated with a teeny, weeny bit of respect now and then, we still want you to treat us as if we were fellow students too! We just want to give animal loving people something a little extra-special:)
