I need some help translating a story from English to Spanish?

Posted on August 17, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

1. There once was a purple octopus named Henry.
2. Henry wished that he had a friend
3. He wished this because he had found a treasure map that led to a treasure chest of happiness.
4. One day he met an orange sea turtle named Pedro and they became best friends.
5. “Let’s go on an adventure to find the treasure chest!” Henry said.
6. “Alright but I hope that it won’t be too hard to find,” said Pedro.
7. Henry hopes taht there won’t be any scary monsters.
8. He doesn’t like monsters.
9. Pedro loves to fight monsters with his shell.
10. By the second day, they still hadn’t found any monsters
11. Pedro wanted to go on, but Henry was getting homesick.
12. “I don’t think that the treasure chest is that much farther away,” Pedro said.
13. Just then they walked around a big rock and saw a light in the distance.
14. “Maybe that’s where the treasure chest is,” Pedro said.
15. “I hope that you’re right,” said Henry, “I’m getting tired.”
16. As they got close to the city they realized that they recognized the lights.
17. It was where they lived
18. They watched as Gus and Lionel ran out to greet them.
19. “We missed you so much. Where have you been?” asked Lionel.
20. “We were hoping to find happiness in a treasure chest but the map led us back home,” Henry said.
21. “Maybe that’s because happiness comes from spending time with the people you love, not material things,” Pedro said
22. “Yeah that makes sense,” said Gus, “now that we’re back, let’s go play soccer!”

If evolution is true then how come my son can’t breathe underwater?

Posted on July 15, 2010 by admin| 22 Comments

According to the theory of evolution, random genetic mutations are the driving force behind adaptation. I live next door to a nucular (or nuclear in the “correct English”) power plant. Because of this, my DNA has undergone all sorts of random mutations, so my children should be very highly evolved.

I expected my son to be born with gills so that he could breathe underwater. He and I were going to become a father-son treasure hunting team. However, this is no longer possible, as my whole family has cancer thanks to the power plant. My son wasn’t highly evolved at all.

Doesn’t the fact that my son can’t breathe underwater disprove evolution?
I don’t want to worry anybody: my family doesn’t actually have cancer…

The part about wanting a son who could breathe underwater is true though…
