Can opener clashed against sword as Our Valiant Hero fought his arch nemesis Señor Pato on the deck of his well-worn ship. Though Our Valiant Hero was drenched to the bone, water seemed to roll off his arch nemesis’ form; due to being a rubber duck. The wind blew and foam sprayed as the sea churned and a gruesome monster, with strings of drool hanging off of its snarled mouth, leaped out of the water. Señor Pato gave one last swipe of his sword before turning and waddling to the edge of the ship, jumping onto his faithful sea monster. With roar as rough as bark, the sea monster and Senor Pato rushed away, taking with them the Book of Prophecy, entitled 1984, that was stolen from Our Valiant Hero. If Señor Pato read the prophecy he would gain the knowledge that would transform him into a being with magical powers capable of world domination though controlling his robot army of Thought Police. These Thought Police would ultimately turn all humans into bumbling idiots. So with his arch nemesis escaping to his lair, Our Valiant Hero sheathed his can opener, slung on his robe and steered the boat in the same direction, following as fast as he possibly could.
Eventually reaching land by trailing the wake Señor Pato’s sea monster left behind, Our Valiant Hero set off on his arduous journey to retrieve the book of prophecy. Far off in the distance, with ominous black clouds swirling around the tip he could see the peak of Señor Pato’s mountaintop lair. Trudging through a dank marsh Our Valiant Hero lifted his robe above his knobby knees, attempting to avoid the sludge from destroying the important tools in his pockets needed for the rest of the quest. Drawing ever nearer to the vast swamp Our Valiant Hero began to see an object in the distance. As he moved towards it, the unrecognizable object began to take form. It was a rickety wooden bridge connecting the two cliffs that were situated beneath Señor Pato’s lair. As soon as Our Valiant Hero put one foot onto it preparing to cross, the bridge swayed violently as a hideous hand grabbed onto the swaying bridge from below.
Swinging itself onto the bridge and revealing themselves, the misshaped mustard-colored troll bared her painted claws and screeched “Leave or die, nerd!” Cautiously, Our Valiant Hero continued to approach the deformity. Smoothly, so as to make no sudden movements, Our Valiant Hero reached into the pocket of his worn robe and drew out a treasure. “I bring payment, your malevolence,” Our Valiant Hero calmly proclaimed. With that, the troll glared at him and snatched the Canadian nickel from his outstretched hand. “Fine, whatever nerd. Just don’t bother me anymore.” And with that, the troll jumped off the bridge, leaving a clear path for Our Valiant Hero.
Up ahead, at the top of a speckled mountain, was Our Valiant Hero’s arch nemesis’ lair. As Our Valiant Hero began to climb, his feet sank mildly into the spongy surface of the mountain. With every step that was taken, the aroma of fiber and chocolate seemed to seep out of the mountain. It appeared to resemble a Fibre One bar. Noting the similarity, Our Valiant Hero quickly broke off a piece of the mountain gulping it down in an attempt to keep his strength up for the future encounter with Señor Pato. With the added help of his snack, Our Valiant Hero eventually reached the peak of the mountain, where a rose gold door was fashioned into the Fibre One.
As he looked closer, he saw that in the left top corner of the door there was a calculator with “password” scrolling across the screen. Reaching into his pocket and drawing out his magical pink high lighter. Keeping in mind it only has enough magic to perform one simple task, Our Valiant Hero pointed it towards the calculator commanding it to enter the correct password. With a sparkle one nine eight and four appeared on the screen. The numbers disappeared from the calculator screen and the word “enter” replaced them. With one final beep, the door thunked
Showers or Baths? The debate between what is better, showers or baths has gone on far too long, and I will prove that there is really only one real correct answer. Showers are a more superior way to cleanse oneself than baths for many reasons. Showers save water by not having to fill a bathtub of 70 gallons, you’re not bathing in your own filth because it washes off in a downwards motion and you can change the temperature and pressure of the water if needed instead of sitting and waiting for the…
Arch 290 24 November 2014 Baths of Diocletian, Rome VS Great Bath, Mohenjo-Daro One important practice that early civilization and the modern population still continue is our use of baths and bathing. Todays baths are much different compared to earlier times. During the early bronze age one of the civilizations known as the Indus Civilization or Harappan Culture flourished in the city of Mohenjo-Daro, Pakistan. The city name meant Mound of the Dead.

Geoffrey Chaucer writes about thirty characters, but one stands out: the Wife of Bath. The Wife of Bath is one of the livelier and more enthusiastic characters on the pilgrimage. From the General Prologue and the prologue to her tale, we can see that she has extreme views about women and marriage especially in this time period when women listened rather than debated. The prologues also depict an unattractive Wife of Bath: her gapped teeth and wide forehead. She often refers to the Bible and states that…

There are a number of ways that the bath bombs can be tested. The tests include how acidic the water becomes when the bath bomb is dissolved and the rate of how fast the bath bomb dissolves. Bath bombs are used to scent the water and soothe the skin and the ingredients that are included will assist that objective…

Chaucer makes many political and social observations in The Canterbury Tales and the Wife of Bath is no exception. Chaucer writes her character as a suitable vessel which embodies true statements against the misogynistic and socially backwards ideas of her time. He accomplishes this by subtly planting radical ideas about society’s view of sexuality within the entertaining caricature of a “town slut.” The Wife of Bath is described as having “headkerchiefs…of the finest weave” (Chaucer, 14) and “stockings…of…
is not socially acceptable. In The Wife of Bath, the woman does whatever she pleases to make herself happy, not having a care in the world of what other people think about her. There are many things that the woman in The Wife of Bath does, that would not normally be socially or morally acceptable. In the time period that the story took place, the husband would be the dominant in a marriage and the wife would do whatever the husband pleased. The Wife of Bath, on the other hand, manipulates and deceives…
The Wife of Bath There are several stories within the Canterbury Tales. One of Chaucer’s more contemporary and popular stories is The Wife of Bath. The tale takes place during the days of King Arthur and is about an ugly woman who learns by accident that true beauty lies within. How might The Wife of Bath fit in today’s society? Would her standing be that of what we consider celebrity or royal status, or would she be looked down on due to her numerous marriages? This tale gives a look into the…
