Current Projects
Since I am currently very busy so I am only taking on one or two projects at a time. Right now my project is helping making the Scienceworks Museum page become more than a stub. I have added all of the information about both museums in Australia and Oregon. If anyone has a comment, post it on my talk. I have almost finished the Sumatran Tiger page. I only have to make a few more adjustments. It looks really good!

Facts

 * Statistics and Facts are fun for people of all ages. Do you have a fact to share? Get them from anywhere- magazines, newspapers, television shows, books, internet (check author credibility), and other everyday items such as Gatorade bottles and Snapple caps. This next part is completely dedicated to these short and fun items.
