wookie replied to mightyninjamom's discussion 'Education advice'"It's actually more common than I would have thought... thinking on this I asked my (very verbal, very strong reader) 10 year old what the similarities were between the main characters of the Percy Jackson series and Harry Potter.

SweetJudyB replied to wookie's discussion 'support a young animator'"Mistakenly thought it was shot in Australia and that was a kangaroo running across the scene, but glad you pointed out it was a cat.

hermit crab replied to wookie's discussion 'support a young animator'"It was fabulous! I was very relieved to see that the man appears to either have regrown his leg or at least had enough insurance to get a very realistic prosthetic following the bite.
