TODAY'S COOL WEBSITE
==================================
Since the first issue of the Tower Tipsheet was published, there have
been over 300 websites featured in our newsletter. The Tower Tipsheet
began in 2001 with just a hand full of subscribers and now there are
over 2300 people who recieve the Tower Tipsheet.
So, I thought it would be nice to feature some of the past cool websites
in the next few issues of the Tower Tipsheet so that our newest members
could benefit from our past issues. With that in mind, I chose two web
sites to feature in this issue. I hope you enjoy them.
Cool Website #1 -Autowraps-
******************************************************
http://www.towerofenglish.com/autowrap.html
******************************************************
Companies are always thinking of new ways to advertise
their product. Autowraps is a new and very unique kind
of advertising.
Your Turn:
Look at this site and answer these questions:
1) How does this advertising work?
2) How much money can you make as a driver?
3) Find 3 requirements for drivers who sign up.
4) Do you think this is a good idea? Would you
sign up for this program? Why or why not?

Cool Website #2 -Animal Crackers-
******************************************************
http://www.towerofenglish.com/streetplayphotosgalleries.html
******************************************************
Here's a collection of very strange animal pictures. At first,
they look like real pictures, but if you look carefully, you can
see that there's something strange about them. The animals seem
to be in the wrong place!
Your Turn:
Find your favorite picture. Why do you like this picture? Why
is this picture unusual? Write a description of the picture.
How would you change the picture to make it a "normal" picture?
==========================================================
-Today's Idiom -
Back talk
Back talk - n. - A sassy or impudent reply.
Back talk like that will only get you into more trouble.

- Today's Joke-
Dinosaur theory
OK, let's consider the physical evidence.
The moon is moving away at a tiny, although measurable distance
from the Earth every year.
Do the math and you will clearly see that 85 million years ago it
was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the
earth's surface. This would explain the death of the dinosaurs;
the tallest ones, anyway
