    This year I started a new programme at school called the IB diploma, and for that I need to do a thing called CAS. That doesn't actually matter for my question, but it's just a bit of background.
    For this, I have to do something called a CAS project, and I think I am going to do an awareness raising campaign for some kind of wildlife or nature charity thing but I'm not sure exactly what I should do :p. Any suggestions?

    I was thinking what I could do is raise awareness about endangered wildlife to culminate on some kind of event that I could organise at my school for UN World Wildlife Day on the 3rd of March. Do you think this would be a worthwhile cause? I would also need to have some kind of fund raising as a focus for this, so do you have any suggestions of a particularly good wildlife charity? I'd quite like this to be a bit more unusual than the typical kind of stuff.

    NASA didn't add anything. That constellation has always been there. The shifted dates are also the correct astronomical dates when those constellations appear. Still asstrology is hokum.

    Yes. Big space has oodles of cash to spare to pay poor lowly me.

    seems to me that if you're that poor and lowly then they wouldn't need oodles of cash to persuade you to be their government shill. Twenty-five dollars would probably do it.

    Am the only one who has an Elephant (among other things) in their nativity scene? Surely there are people here who have put even weirder things on theirs (assuming they have one.)

    I used to add a plastic Triceratops to the nativity scene. It became a family tradition.

    I've been known to add various hoofstock to mine, also I'm thinking of putting a Killer Whale in mine this year. I need to find my little stuffed one, it'll look so adorable next to the manger.

    Not sure if is really a valid place for this, but i'm ridiculously excited at this. Something I never expected to happen to me happened- I found a mysterious egg sac on a banana!!! It's gone in the reptile incubator for now, hoping something will hatch! :p

    I will do! :p Having googled 'egg sac on banana' this one looks almost identical to several others labelled as Brazilian wandering spider egg sacs on various tabloid newspaper articles... meaning it almost certainly isn't the egg sac of a Brazilian wandering spider....:rolleyes:

    The real news with this post is that you googled "egg sac on banana" and came up with relevant results :D
