Capybaras are the world’s largest rodent at one and a half to two feet tall at the shoulder, four feet in length, and up to 150 pounds. They were once thought to be related to beavers but it has been discovered that they are more closely related to the rat. They are simi-aquatic animals and use water to escape from predators. They can stay submerged for up to 5 minutes and can press their ears to their heads in order to keep water out. They eat grasses and aquatic plants and have special…

One of the most prominent things that I have realized from my first month of college is the importance of all the small things. Details have been essential for everything and everyone I have come into contact with, ranging all the way from what assignments I have due, to the hours of the dining halls. These first weeks in my freshman writing class we have held discussions on the most random—and what I believed to be at the time—irrelevant subjects. These discussions were just the opposite. After…

because 1 MOA very closely corresponds to 1 inch at a distance of 100 yards. One major benefit of MOA adjustment is that it allows for more precise zeroing than milradian scopes because MOA adjustment increments are smaller. The MTAC offers .5 MOA adjustments which translates into 1/5 inch at 100 yards. For example, when adjusting in MOA a shooter must keep in mind that adjustment of .5 MOA means a 1/2 inch shift at 100 yards and therefore a shift of 1 inch at 200 yards. Therefore, if your…

After all people do look up to you, so it is important that all…

Jade's kick was swift, hard, and hit it's target perfectly. And what was the target? Vriska Serket's balls. The troll bit her lip, trying not to scream as Jade's stocking covered foot slammed into her testicles, pinning them against her own pelvis. The thin panties Vriska wore doing absolutely nothing to stop the pain. "Now what do you say Vriska?" Jade asked, her voice just as kind and sweet as ever. How she could keep that tone while throughly dominating her was something Vriska could never…

Prologue Unknown POV It happened so suddenly you know. My life wasn’t the best out there but it was something. I had friends even if it was just two people. I had a roof over my head, even when the people that I lived with hated me. I had food and a job as well, though the pay isn’t the best. I was thankful for the life that I had. I wasn’t bullied too much in school. In fact most people pretended that I wasn’t even in the same room as them. I was happy because my life could have been worse. I…

All people get taller as they get older even the shortest man in the world who is only a mere 21 inches tall, that's not bigger than my dog (miniature schnauzer) or two of my shoes together. But, even he grew maybe not a lot, but he grew. We human grow some faster and some slower than each other, and I am a very tall kid for my age. For this reason, I want to know how I achieved my height. Since I was a newborn, I was a big baby, and my baby stats are 8.1 pounds, length 21.5 inches, head…

Chlopolean At my physical this year my doctor confirmed what I already knew deep, deep down in my heart of hearts: I’m done growing. I’ve seen pictures from when I was born, and even then I was tiny. Still, I’d never really thought about my size much until I was about eleven and I realized that I was the only one in my class still wearing clothes from The Children’s Place. I had always just assumed I’d catch up to my peers. My mother and father are 5’8 and 6’3 respectively, and they too had…
