How Not to Drown, Monday, October 6, Period 3

[sith_happened]

Steve was back in the water, his shoulder in a much more low-key brace. Anakin was busy corralling the pool noodles and looked up as everyone arrived.

"Since I'm still only about 80 percent," Steve began, "it's an excellent day to show how even not-great swimmers can help someone who's flailing. Today, we're going to work on floating on your back."

Thrilling, right?

"Everyone in the water," Anakin said, nodding.

Cryptozoology, Monday period 2

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"Today's creature is a 'not deer'." Jon grimaced, but it was hardly the cryptid's fault its name brought unpleasant memories. "If it exists, it's in the Appalachian Mountains, predominantly in Tennessee. As the name suggests...or as it doesn't, I suppose, it's described as looking like a deer from a distance, until you realize that something is off. Its eyes are said to be on the front of its face rather than the side, more like a predator. Some accounts give it multiple pairs of eyes, but most claim only two. It may have additional joints or be double-jointed, and its limbs are longer than a typical deer. It's aggressive and has no fear of humans."

He shook his head. "Which you would think meant we had plenty of pictures of them, but you would be wrong. Despite them being unafraid to approach and only dangerous if threatened, we have no conclusive pictures of them. People have apparently been chased up trees by them, and yet still not thought to snap a picture."

So yeah. Take that as you would.

"Leading theories involve deformed or mutated deer, a deer with chronic wasting disease, which would make its movements difficult and its behavior odd, or, strangely enough, a kangaroo. I am not entirely certain why people think a kangaroo would be mistaken for a deer or would be wandering the Appalachian Mountains in the first place, but there you go. So, let's discuss."

Flight and Flying- Monday, 1st period

[solo_sword]

Welcome back to the Danger Shop, which was made out like the roof of a skyscraper. And behind Jaina was a helicopter, because sometimes in this class it was hard to make something a real surprise.

"Helicopters," Jaina greeted them. "You've probably seen them at some point, even if it's just in movies. They have military uses, they're used by news stations, or sometimes you can just pay to take a ride for fun. Thats what we're doing, but for free. Again, I'll I've a little demonstration, and since it'll fit all of us we'll all go together and then land to change places. And remember, you can't crash here."

Because people could soooo crash in real life.
