A kid named David has found the blue box Elfangor used to create the Animorphs. Now he knows the secret, and will do anything to become the most powerful Animorph of all.
Now we have the first portion of the three part David trilogy. I think it was a good idea, showing that not everyone who found out about the Yeerk threat and became an Animorph would be able to handle it as well as the original team. I'll try to focus on a segment at a time but it might not be easy.
With this one, we already see that he didn't want to listen to Jake or follow any orders, he wanted to do things his own way. My main issue with that would be disorganization, it would render the group less effective if everyone simply did their own thing and didn't coordinate themselves.
Was it simply the loss of his family that made David unstable? Or was there more to it do you think?
Was there a way David could have been saved at this point and trouble averted, or was he doomed from the start?
What do you think of his attitude toward Jake being the boss...he was sort of like "who put you in charge?" the whole time. I would say Jake's knowing more would be a good reason to listen to him though.

From Pubmed.gov (via NCBI ROFL):
Rat pants. XD
I'm curious as to how they got the tiny pants to stay on without them being chewed to pieces and/or wriggled out of almost immediately.
Someone needs to duplicate this study...and take pictures...and post them all over the internet.
"The effect of wearing different types of textiles on sexual activity was studied in 75 rats which were divided into five equal groups: four test groups and one control. Each of the four test groups were dressed in one type of textile pants made of either 100% polyester, 50/50% polyester/cotton mix, 100% cotton or 100% wool. Sexual behaviour was assessed before and after 6 and 12 months of wearing the pants and 6 months after their removal. The rate of intromission to mounting (I/M) was determined. The electrostatic potentials generated on penis and scrotum were also measured by electrostatic kilovoltameter.
...The polyester-containing pants generated electrostatic potentials while the other textiles did not. These potentials seem to induce 'electrostatic fields' in the intrapenile structures, which could explain the decrease in the rats' sexual activity."

Here in Illinois we have a yearly book award called the Caudill award (Rebecca Caudill was apparently an author from this state). Anyway, one of the 2010 nominees is KAA's book Home of the Brave. I saw it won a couple other awards too.

For me, the best part of Halloween (besides getting to dress up) is the week after, when the Halloween candy goes on sale. I mean, who doesn't like cheap candy? Kimberly Daniels, of Kimberly Daniels Ministries International, for one. According to her, these fun-size holiday treats are the work of Satan! Or at least his minions. From Charisma magazine:
Oh, that crafty Satan. Trying to tempt us with delicious half-price Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Quick question, though: Are the praying witches part of the manufacturing process, or do they just visit random stores and pray over the candy there? If I had some Easter candy, would the 'holiness' of my chocolate bunny counteract the evil of black and orange M&M's?
Also: The reason the root word of 'Halloween' is 'hallow' is because it's a shortening of 'All Hallows Eve' (more specifically, the Scottish All-Hallows-Even), which is the day before 'All Hallows Day' (also called 'Hallowmas' or 'All Saints Day'), a christian holiday which honors the various christian saints. It's true that Halloween also has roots in the festival of Samhain, but a lot of supposedly christian holidays are like that.
BRB, I'm off to exorcise* my leftover Halloween candy.
* Did I say exorcise? I meant eat.
The word "holiday" means "holy day." But there is nothing holy about Halloween. The root word of Halloween is "hallow," which means "holy, consecrated and set apart for service." If this holiday is hallowed, whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very easy—Lucifer's!
...During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.
