1.Why is a backpack also called a knapsack? I mean you don't nap with it, or if you do then you nap with it on a long bus ride. But come on the name is really weird!
2.Why is the bathroom called a bathroom when most of the time there is not even a bath tub or shower in there? In addition to that, why is it called a restroom when you don't really rest in there to get more energy. These are also bizarre: water closet, powder room, lavatory, and out house. the only one that makes some sense is washroom because you wash your hands in there, so... it sort of makes sense. Sort of!
3. Why do we call soccer soccer when we don't even play with our socks? Geez, is it really that hard. I mean, the Europeans got it right and it made sense. Fotbal, it is played with our foot.
Just saying, we have some really weird named things.
If you have answers, please, and I mean PLEASE, send them in.

Earth Day
What are you doing on Earth Day? Are you going to watch T.V.? If yes, then wake up! We are going to celebrate this year's Earth by giving the Earth a break. If we all turn off the lights for one hour, then we can let the Earth take a deep breath. Submit any ideas that you may have to help our Earth take a breath on Earth day. Plant a tree, turn off the electronics that are plugged into the outlets, collect trash off the street and parks, and TURN OFF THE LIGHTS! If you do decide to let OUR Earth breath for a hour, then please leave your name and when on Earth Day you did it in the comments. I also want anything that you have done for our Earth on Earth Day. My goal is to get more then 50 people participate in this event on Earth Day. I know that Earth Hour has past, but it's Earth Day for crying out loud! Earth Hour should be on Earth Day. Sorry, just had to mention it. Please send in the things you have done or if you participate in the second Earth hour of the year.
