GAS
Goodafter noon ladies and gentlemen my name is astin today i will be talking about gases as known as farts .  Did you know a fart is a wish from your butt NOW lets get
to the serious stuff did you know farts are flammable.

The longest fart was held in france
2009 december the  3 for 59: seconds wow i know.
Although” they won't admit it, women fart as much as men”.
The temperature of a fart at time
of creation is 98.6 degrees.
These days There are some food that make you fart like beans,cabbage,cheese,radishes, and peas and and dry aprocots for your mum she can take 1 or 2 but when she gets to 3 you may need to evacuate the building.

A fart has reached the speed of 10 feet per second.
                      If someone puts their finger out and says pull don’t trust
them before you know it they’ve
put gas into your system
thank you” for listing to my speech about FARTS

     Ostriches   

Where do ostriches live?

Wild ostriches live in the dry, hot savannas and woodlands of Africa. They once roamed all over Asia, Africa and the
Arabian Peninsula, but because they have been hunted so extensively,
wild ostriches' range has been reduced to sub-Saharan Africa,

  what do  ostriches eat?

Their diet consists mainly of roots, leaves, and seeds, but ostriches will eat whatever is available. Sometimes they consume insects, snakes, lizards, and rodents. They also swallow sand and pebbles which help them grind up their food in their gizzard, a specialized, muscular stomach.


Ostrich eggs & baby ostriches

Ostrich eggs are 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter and can weigh up to 3 lbs. (1.3 kg). Eggs are laid in a communal nest called a dump nest, which can hold about 60 eggs at one time. Males, as well as females, sit on the eggs until they hatch, which can take 42 to 46 days.
Ostrich offspring are larger than any other bird baby. At birth, chicks can be as big as chickens. The males and females share the responsibility of taking care of the young, according to the San Diego Zoo. During an attack, the male tries to lure the predator away from the chicks while they run for cover with the female.
By six months, a chick is almost at its full-grown height; at 3 or 4 years, it will reach maturity. An ostrich can live 50 to 75 years.



Other facts

It may seem amazing that an ostrich's thin legs can keep their large bodies upright. Their legs are perfectly placed so that the body's center of gravity balances on top of its legs.
Their thin legs give them great speed and maneuverability, too. They can run up to 40 mph (64.3 km/h) for sustained periods of time, according to the American Ostrich Association.
Contrary to popular belief, ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand, but they do lie down with their heads against the ground when they feel threatened. It only looks like the ostrich has buried its head because its head and neck blend in with the color of the sand.
Ostriches fight with their feet. They kick forward because that's the direction in which their legs bend, according to the American Ostrich Association. A solid kick can kill a lion.
Ostrich feathers look shaggy because they hang loosely and don't hook together like feathers on other types of birds.

Have you enjoyed the facts

bad boys
Thud! The fresh silky water flowing down my
puffed up pants.
Two sets of ice cold hands grabbed me by my hips.
Looking into the blu ray mist while gripping harder and harder. A row of passengers traveling down the slide.
A roar of giggling echoed down the tunnel.
We were in a dark situation and all i heard was mumbling.The slide felt as rough as sandpaper.

Looking ahead and seeing a patch of light.
Whoosh!!!! a gust of water slapped us across our face. Gazing higher and higher, there i saw was a man that was a disgrace to his mother. Warts covered his face, wrinkles everywhere and there. His eyes were bloodshot the deepest of all reds.

His ears were dangling on his shoulders. Step by step he was getting closer. My eyes were burning ‘’What do you think you're doing?’’ yelled a screechy voice as i walked off I said ‘’What an old grumpy man’’.’Opps i hope i didn't saw that out loud’

The grass shuffling around. A echoing voice said come on. 
 My heart was pumping like never before. 
I saw heads bobbing while taking a glance at my ermines.
 Fixed emotions filled my body. 
Wrinkle lips suffocated the whistle on your marks get set go!.
Galloping rhythmically looking ahead at those in front while my naked feet got strangled by the long wet grass.
The Southey wind blew past my ears with a cold sting the turf getting smashed by hundreds of feet a gust of wind slapped me on the face and put me to a stop.
The razor sharp dart stabbed me.
Slowly collapsing pumping my legs harder and harder I could hear thunderous hooves my ermines where close in hand I could feel them breathing down my neck.
 My thighs are burning my caves are stiff.
 sprinting my hardest with all my might 
scrapping into 4th.
Wosh I full to the ground like a snake pouncing on its pray. 
straggling to stand.
haaa I'm covered in sweat. what a run.
