District 9 Story and ideas behind it

******->WARNING: SPOILER<-******

District 9 was a fantasmic Movie. The movie was about this Alien race who got stranded on earth in the mother ship which was floating above the city of Johannesburg. For quite a while the mother ship was untouched until the government cut they're way into this ship that was hovering many miles above earths surface. Now when the government gets in they finally come across millions of this insect-like race. So because of how many of these aliens there were they had to put them in a part of the city that wasn't occupied and that was District 9. But when they go to evict all the aliens from District 9 an alien was killed, this one in particular was a partner to another alien and those two were trying to collect enough of this fluid that was never named and it wasn't ever told what it was but at one point a little alien child was explaining how it worked when he wasn't supposed to and he said you had to insert the fuel then away they fly so I'm guessing it was fuel. But after the alien was killed the main character Wekus i believe was how it was spelled but anyway he went into the shack he was living in because they all got shacks and lived in the slums but he found this silver canister that had the believed-to-be fuel and accidentally sprayed some on him. Now this is the part that makes me think it wasn't fuel and that was that it was recreating his DNA into the Aliens DNA but honestly i may be wrong because they're weapons required the holder to have alien DNA but this is what most of the movie is ACTUALLY about. So from there it really was that they were gonna kill him for the answer to how he could use the Alien weaponry so he escapes with his new superhuman strength, and goes to District 9 where he runs into the aliens partner. The human and alien make a deal that if he can get the canister that started to mutate him then the alien (who's name is Christopher) would return his species to they're planet then return him to normal which is where it starts to go wrong cause around that time the government found out he was hiding out in district 9 so the government comes in to get him but ends up having and alien slaughter fest, they capture Chris, and by the end Chris leaves, and when Wekus was going to die i think it was that they either excepted him as one of them or he generated something from his mutation that the others recognized but they helped him. That was the movie.

Ideas behind it

Greed-> this was the main problem in the story because they confiscated all these weapons to use them in wars so when they found out this human could use them they had to know so they could use them but in doing so harming others.

Racism-> this one isn't as big as i thought it would be but it was really a side effect of the greed but they were treating them like crap the whole time.

Other lessons were taught but they're isn't a single word for.
Some of these lessons were ones like don't trust someone increasingly which was taught when Chris put his faith in Wekus and told him he would have to wait 3 years for him to be fixed so Wekus knocked him out and took his personal ship to the mother ship but failed to do so. But that is all i have to say my overall thoughts on the movie is that it was absolutely my favorite movie.

half-cooked lobster caught in maine- National geographic

Well actually the lobster wasn't cooked halfway it was found with a color difference that made it look like it. Actually the color difference was genetic. in lobsters the dark brown color they have is actually a mixture of reds oranges yellows and blues. Now this particular lobster just didn't have much blue tint in its shell so it only had reds oranges and yellows in it, exactly what you need for orange. This lobster was caught on July 20, 2006 near the town of Bar Harbor Maine. The fisherman Alan Robinson donated his catch to the Maine's Mount Desert Oceanarium. Unfortunately only 3 of these unusual lobsters have been caught in the last 35 years, so the chances of finding one are 1 in 50000000.

Fossils reveals bus-sized 2,500 lb snake- discovery.com

In Northeastern Columbia fossils were found of an old prehistoric snake that was around 15 meters and 38 cm long, reaching more then 1133 kilograms it was easily the worlds largest recorded snake. "This thing weighs more then a bison and is longer then a city bus" says enthused snake expert Jack Conrad of the American Museum of Natural History.
The gihugic beast ate the ancient relatives of crocodiles, scientists think, and scientists also think this gihugic behemoth was on this earth some 58 to 60 million years ago. The snakes name is Titanoboa Cerrejonensis which means "titanic boa from cerrejon" the region it was found.
Now interestingly enough it was part of the boa family but acted more like an anaconda which i don't believe is part of the boa family. The snake was actually revealed in 2007 in Florida's university of Florida's Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville.when they realized it was a snake that they were looking at they quickly pulled out an anaconda skeleton to compare the difference. The difference was that the anaconda backbone was the size of a silver dollar and the fossils was the size of a large Florida grapefruit. Now my thoughts of this article was that I really like snakes, so to know that they found one that was originally 15 meters long is just amazing.

Allegory of the Cave part 2- my feelings

I really liked the story that is being put in by Socrates and Glaucon because its a good example of what could happen... that and it makes sense, I mean to kill someone for your beliefs would be understandable, if it wasn't completely wrong. I think what drives this along sorta is that its a conversation of what ifs, which i like cause i go with what ifs well. I think the thing about this is that Socrates is trying to point out to Glaucon that this can easily be an idea that could easily get one of the prisoners killed.

Burmese Python Swallows Electric Blanket- National Geographic

Yes a Burmese python ate an electric blanket. So basically the python they think got the electric blanket they give it every night to keep it warm cause they don't generate they're own body heat and they think the blanket got mixed in with the Rabbit they give it to eat. Now honestly we probably all knew this would happen eventually, its funny it took a 3.5 meter long Burmese python named Houdini to get a electric blanket 2.5 meters into its digestive track. I feel that it shouldn't of happened in 2006, but 2001 maybe 1999.
