1984, a heinous vision of a past future, shows a terrifying concept of complete control of the human race. It teaches that power is only ever used for power’s sake, and that nothing else matters, except for power.

many hear the phrase "straw man," they people probably think of a man made of a straw, or maybe a scarecrow.

A scarecrow, other than the facade of straw on the outside, has nothing

“The straw that broke the camel’s back”, an idiom reflecting reaching maximum capacity of strain or tolerance.

conducted to observe clear, short-term effects of straw and the straw applications on pigs that were raised and housed in pens. The researchers’ hypothesis was that both the straw and the straw dispensers would have an observed and clear effect on the attractiveness of the dispensers to selected pigs. The study consisted of a total of 96 pigs in groups of 6 a week and four different types of straw dispensers. For the first two weeks all four of the straw dispensers were presented (one per a pen) afterwards

Mega straws are two straws taped, the mega straws go on each edge of the pyramid. The genius behind this amazing design that came from my mind, is when it falls it will land. Without the egg (which is inside the pyramid) touching the ground, the straws are purposefully long for just that reason. The other great thing about it is, the straws go beside the egg, not directly pointing at the egg. Which means when the straws hit the ground the energy will go up through the straws, and not into
