So the answers to the scavenger hunt I found on someone elses blog - how convinient!
Found at : sanchia.blogspot.com
1. What is the weight of the world's biggest pumpkin?In October 2002, a pumpkin was reported from Manchester, New Hampshire with a weight of 1337 pounds.
2. What is the best way (quickest, most reliable) to contact Grant Hackett?If you want to contact Grant, please write to the Miami Swimming Club, their address is:Miami Swimming ClubPO BOX 2461BURLEIGH QLD 4220
3. What is the length of a giraffe's tongue?It can be as long as 22 inches in length.
4. How would you define the word "ontology"? What does it really mean?Ontology is the most fundamental branch of metaphysics. It has one basic question, what actually exists?
5. What was David Cronenberg's first feature film?"Shivers" in 1975.
6. When was the original "Hacker's Manifesto" written?January 8, 1986.
7. Why do all phone numbers in Hollywood films start with "555"?It began 30 years ago when the use of exchange names as part of the telephone number was still popular in the USA. Dials had letters as well as numbers and the first 3 letters of the exchange name were dialled followed by numbers. An example might be CENtral 78978. You dialled CEN 78978 or, using all numbers, 236 78978. It so happened that 5 on the dial corresponded with J K and L and you can’t make any English place names using any combination of J, K and L as the first 3 letters. So the 555 code was allocated to service levels such as Directory Assistance, Operator, Repair Service, etc. Due to the "low fill" of the 555 code, Hollywood was encouraged to quote 555 numbers in their productions to prevent real subscribers being harassed by members of the public trying out the numbers quoted on the screen. Generic and satirical advertisements and commercials often used 555 numbers. In the early days of exchange names the prefix KLondike-5 was used as this exchange did not exist.
8. What is the cheapest form of travel from Crete to Rhodes?Ferry
9. What song was top of the Australian Pop Charts this week in 1965?Do the Clam by Elvis Preseley (although I'm not certain about that, the website it really difficult to understand.)
10. Which Brisbane band was (still is?) Stephen Stockwell a member of? Black Assassins.

Whilst doing this task, it has helped me formulate my topic for this next assessment piece; music downloading - is it illegal? Some key points that helped me formulate my topic are:-
* Music downloading is considered life threatening due to the considerable erosion of traditional sales.
* Customers consume music in two forms, either as a product they own, perhaps in the form of a CD, or as a service, through a radio station.
* CD's are perceived as expensive due to the commercial value of music being widely devalued by mass copying and piracy.
* CD's genrally only have 2 or 3 songs that are considered to be of value to the consumer.

This Arvo
just updating you on what I plan to do this afternoon! Some friends and I are actually looking for a house to rent with us all, so fingers crossed that we get to inspect some of the houses today! We've found some really nice ones with a good location and fairly good price. We're all just hoping that they will allow 6 young people to rent in their house! Then its off to one job and then off to another job; fun fun fun! It's all good because I have tomorrow off yayyyy, so its sleep in for me!!
The beginning!
I'm Christine or nicknamed as Xtine! Just fresh from school and straight into university. I would have to say that I'm not all that keen to be studying again, but these things have to happen if you want to get anywhere in life I suppose. At the moment I'm doing a bachelor of arts, transferring into journalism. I'm not so much into the writing side of this course, but rather the performance side! My passion is performing in all areas of the arts, such as drama and dance. After finishing my journalism degree, I would predominantely like to break through to the television presenting side of journailsm. How awesome would it be to be like one of the hosts off of the great outdoors or something like that!
