Well, that's it. I hope you did well. And if you didn't, don't worry about it. You probably won't find this stuff any useful in your lifetime. A special thanks to the good people of 321 Contact magazine as a question source.
I am a student at Franklin Magnet Middle School of Champaign, Illinois, and did this page for a project for my gifted class. I am 14 and am the eldest of three boys in my family. To the left isn't me, but something completely stupid that I made up. (Of course, that assumes that Monty Python's Flying Circus didn't beat me to it.)
