You'll have to ask Pyrotex. He is the only one who keeps talking about it.

HEY!! Most of my life is real, but not all of it. I swear. I must spend an hour a day playing computer games. So, there!

And how many hours on Hypography? And how many hours running down little old ladies with that James Bond contraption of yours?

Talking My future is brighter! Huh HA!

Hurray! I've been selected!!!

Well, I just gotta boast about it everywhere I can, might as well start here. Here goes.

This year, I've participated in the selection rituals for te international biology olympiads, and it's supposed to be a really high level exam. Or so everyone says. See, there's this national selection being done by this organisation, and they select the best of the Indians.

I cleared the first stage, and appeared in the top 1% of all appearing individuals throughout the nation. That was somewhat a big deal, seeing that a total of 150 selections were made. This was the second level of selections, and they select just around thirty-forty students.

But I expected no more from myself; I assumed that I'd not make it to the third level. I checked their list of selections for the third level minutes ago. Guess what... MY NAME'S ON THE LIST!!! HURRAY!!!!



Well... that's that. BTW, I'm number 39, if anyone's had a look at it anyway. This calls for a party!

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
