World Knowledge Contest

Meep Jammers! ^.^

Thank you so much for the 135,000 views! :D
Now, as I promised, here's the contest! :3

First of all, the world-dreaded RULES.

No looking up answers on the internet.
No asking someone else to look them up for you.
No finding a way around either of those two rules.
You can look for the answers in books or ask someone else.
Blank answers will be counted as wrong answers.
You cannot enter your answers, leaving  a few questions blank and then want tofill them out later.
Sorry but that gets confusing when I'm trying to figure out the results.
Only enter once.
Be sporting. 
The person with the most correct answers wins.
Post your answers in the comments or email them to me at animaljamtimes@yahoo.co.uk
If there is a tie, I will make another round in which only the tie-ers may enter.
MAY PENGUINS TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

I hope you agree with that last statement, otherwise you'll be very sorry.
Now, this quiz is going to be about all the countries in the world - ok, fine, not all of them - and the continents.
It may be more to do with animals, plants, history or geography.
Or something else >:D

And the Winners are...

Meep Jammers!

I am SO sorry about the delay! Dratted computer... *sigh*

Well, it's been pretty hard judging this contest! 
Lots of entries.
One person who had to be disqualified for stealing someone's drawing.
Lots of really good entries which it's so hard to choose between.
Trying not to get influenced into saying "yes" or "no" just because I like / don't like the style.
Debating whether or not it's ok to make someone win several times in quick succession. (Poll over there -->)

Anyway, I've finally chosen the two winners! ^.^
(Well, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be posting all of this...)

FIRST PLACE GOES TO...

AllRiseSilver!

Here's her amazing entry!

Name: Yifan, Jin
ID Number: 764193
Status: Anomaly
Date of Birth & Age: May 13, 2030‐ 19 years old.
Ethnicity: Chinese
Height: 175 cm.
Weight: 54 kg.
Appearance:
Jin is described as having a lithe and thin, yet strong, build. He has naturally black hair with streaks of
sapphire blue. The blue was a side effect of experiments conducted on him. His eyes are dark gray, with
specks of blue in his irises. He was last seen wearing a buttoned, long sleeve blue shirt, black jeans, a
long violet scarf, and old sneakers. An armband with his name written backwards on it was tied around
his left bicep. Jin is armed with a post‐war, ice colored dagger that is believed to be extremely valuable
to history.
Family:
Mother: Cara Yifan (Deceased)
Father: Kris Yifan (Deceased)
Background:
Jin was raised in east Saphyr City (Formerly known as New York City) by his parents. His parents, who
were biologists employed by Society, refused to carry out orders and were terminated. Jin was taken to
be a test subject for Gaia Medicines and Sciences for Society, since he had no other living relatives to
care for him. In June, 2049, Jin took advantage of a malfunction in security and escaped. Aided by illegal
Felons and an unidentified young man, Jin freed the rest of the test subjects and destroyed the Saphyr
City lab. He successfully escaped in an unlicensed heli‐plane; his whereabouts and intentions remain
unknown.

Test Subject: Yifan, Jin
Formula(s): SN542K, KS998J
Results:
Subject is shown to have heightened sense of vision and hearing. Subject has also displayed higher than
average stamina, speed, and agility. Has become exceptionally resistant to pain, grief, and fear. Subject’s
capacity to sympathize and show remorse or regret has been diminished.
Personality & Ability Summary:
Jin is stubborn, hot‐headed, and easily lashes out at anyone against him. He is acutely aware of small
details and his environment. He shows no signs of becoming docile and complacent, despite different
drugs that have been tested on him. When provoked, Jin becomes savagely sadistic and will fight for
hours on end. Even when his opponents are down, he will continue hurting them unless taken away. He
was questioned about this habit, and he only replied, “I liked it.” This issue will be dealt with soon.
However, he shows slight compassion for the younger test subjects and has more than once attacked
the guards when other test subjects were terminated. Jin is known for his snarky and sarcastic
personality and he enjoys shaming others by pointing out their flaws. He blames Society for his parents’
termination, and has sworn vengeance against the leaders of Society.
Jin has no unnecessary fat on his body; it has all been replaced by pure muscle. He is able to leap
exceptionally far and high. When under severe pressure, he can run at a steady pace for 6 hours and 47
minutes straight before collapsing. Due to his higher metabolism and stamina, Jin must consume 3,200
calories per day and will faint if not given food for more than two days.
Notes:
‐Rather short‐tempered and quick to show anger and frustration.
‐Frequently refuses to comply with commands and tests.
‐Has unsuccessfully attempted to leave the compound 19 times.
‐Drugs such as laudanum seem to have no effect on him.
‐Is left handed and is able to wield weapons such as guns and knives with both his right and left hand.
‐Flawed by claustrophobia; it is unknown if his fear is part of his own nature or a result of
experimentation.

Character Contest

Meep!

Thank you all so much for 135 followers!
(That doesn't mean you should stop now, hehe. The more followers I get, the closer we'll get to the 150 followers contest.)

A character contest is where you...
Create a character draw a picture of it.
 Write about it's personality, appearance, behaviour, species, where it lives, it's friends/family, etc.
In short, everything a total stranger would need to know about the character.

TO LET ME KNOW YOU'VE READ THE RULES, WRITE "PARASOL" IN YOUR COMMENT OR EMAIL.

Rules
Your character must have nothing to do with any books - unless you wrote the book/story.
I will be judging the entry on how well the description is written - punctuation, grammar, etc - and how good the drawing is and how well it represents your character, and also by the creativity.
Your character can be anything - though obviously don't include any inappropriate stuff in your entry.
You can draw the character either on the computer, or on paper, or whatever. Make it creative!
To let me know you've read the rules, please write "ostriches" in your comment/email, so ignore the fake codeword I've put above.
You can either comment your entry and picture URL, or email them to animaljamtimes@yahoo.co.uk
This contest will end on the 5th of November 2013!

There will be prizes for 1st and 2nd place.

1st place will win...


...and 2nd place will receive...


Good luck! ^.^

Or what? ^.^
