1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer.
3. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
4. McMurphy fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a paper bag filled with vegetable soup.
5. Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.
6. Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the centre.
7. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
8. He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.
9. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
10. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left York at 6:36 p.m. travelling at 55 mph, the other from Peterborough at 4:19p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
11. The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the full stop after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.
12. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
13. The thunder was ominous sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.
14. The red brick wall was the colour of a brick-red crayon.
15. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut.
16. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
17. The plan was simple, like my mate Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
18. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for while.
19. "Oh, Jason, take me!" she panted, her breasts heaving like a student on 31p-a-pint night.
20. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
21. Her artistic sense was exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter."
22. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
23. The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a lamppost.
24. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free cashpoint.
25. The dandelion swayed in the gentle breeze like an oscillating electric fan set on medium.
26. It was a working class tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with their power tools.
27. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a dustcart reversing.
28. She was as easy as the Daily Star crossword.
29. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature British beef.
30. She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.
31. Her voice had that tense, grating quality, like a first-generation thermal paper fax machine that needed a band tightened.

Who are the "sons of God" and the "Nephilim"? There are three proposed interpretations:
1."Sons of God" refers to fallen angels who lived on earth and married human women. The Nephilim are giants of extra-human strength who were the offspring of these marriages.
2."Sons of God" refers to descendents of Seth, who were godly men who sinned by marrying descendents of Cain, who would have been pagans. The Nephilim were simply "heroes", not giants, and may or may not have been the offspring of the mixed marriages.
3. "Sons of God" is better translated as "kings" or "sons of nobles" and "Nephilim" is best translated as "princes" or "great men." That is, the "sons of God" were royalty or aristocrats who were generally immoral and married common women, possibly against their will or despite their already being married.
Arguments for view 1:
The phrase "sons of God" is used in Job 1:6 and 2:1 to describe angels, and apparently early Jewish writers interpreted this passage as referring to angels.
In support of the idea that angels came to live on earth and married human women, Jude 6 refers to "angels who...abandoned their own home," and other passages describe angels as being able to assume human form (Heb 13:2, Gen 19:1-3).
In Numbers 13:33, the Nephilim are described as giants.
Arguments against view 1:
"Sons of God" in the Job passages refers to "good" angels, and distinguishes them from Satan, the fallen angel. Since only fallen angels would be marrying humans, they wouldn't be referred to as "sons of God."
Mark 12:25 and Matthew 22:30 state that angels don't marry. (Supporters of this view respond that these passages say that angels don't marry in heaven, not that they can't marry on earth.)
Num 13:33 could be an exaggeration of the faithless spies.
God seems to condemn mankind for the intermarrying in Gen 6:3, but says nothing about the angels, though they were at least as responsible for it as the humans.
Arguments for view 2:
Humans are referred to as children of God elsewhere in the Bible (Deut 14:1, Is 43:6, etc.)
Genesis 5 describes godly descendents of Seth (Enoch, Noah), while Lamech, one of Cain's descendents, was also a murderer (Gen 4:23).
To support the "Nephilim weren't offspring of the marriages" view: Gen 6:4 doesn't explicitly say the Nephilim were offspring, only that they showed up at the same time the intermarriage was happening.
Arguments against view 2:
The Sethites don't sound very godly, since only Noah and his family were spared from the flood. (However, "sons of God" may refer to generations previous to those whose sin brought about the flood.)
This interpretation requires that the phrases "men" and "daughters of men" have two different meanings within the same sentence. "Men" and "daughters of men" in v.1 would refer to all mankind and their daughters, but "daughters of men" in v. 2 would refer to Cainite women.
Arguments for view 3:
Contemporary rulers referred to themselves as sons of God - the Egyptian king was called "son of Re."
The Hebrew word in the phrase "sons of God" is Elohim, which is elsewhere in the Bible translated as "judge" or other human authority (Ex 21:6, Ps 82:1)
Early translations of "sons of Elohim" rendered it as it as "sons of nobles" or "sons of kings"
The word "Nephilim" is associated in Gen 6:4 with "gibborim", which means "mighty man of valor, strength, wealth, or power."
Arguments against view 3:
While pagans referred to royalty as sons of God, Israelites did not, and nobles were not referred to as "sons of God."
This interpretation seems "forced" - a stretching of the meaning of the text.

O nce upon a time there where a land of worms. The worms lived in peace and the only thing they did were digging holes in the ground and eating dirt. But, as the time passed on, the worms got smarter, they developed horrible weapons and they had cruel
thoughts about taking over others land. A war was unavoidable.
WW1, Worm War 1, started. The war was much more devastating than the old dirtthrowing wars that had taken place in the medieval worm history. This was a war of advanced weaponry like the explosive sheep and the banana bomb, this was for real.
At the time this war raged on, Boggy B was just a little pink young shaver, two years old. His father leaved for the battle and he never came back. Boggy B started to train, for he knew that he, like all others, would have to go one day.
The warworms got tired and peace came with it's bright light to the worm world. At least to the world were Boggy lived, because the war had started war all over the world, and communications were bad. so they didn't know when the others stopped fighting, so the countries in the far reaches continued (probably). But the peace had not come to stay and due to political problems or a dictators words of destruction or WHATEVER! THE DAMN WAR GOT STARTED AGAIN!
The Worm War 2 Map
The war scenario of Worm War 2, showing the situation for
Boggy B's country. The red lines are land frontiers and the
black dashed lines are trenches... or is it the other way? Anyway
the dark red arrows show large troop movements, and black
squares are capitals.
Now it was Worm War 2 and the horrible weaponry had gotten even horribler. The worms had gotten even madder and meaner, and the screen resolution was improved... er well. And at last it was time for Boggy B to go out in the world and show it what he was made of.
In the beginning Boggy was a little bit unlearned, and he got to taste the dust a few times. Having only been training with his little brothers he had not much of a real life experience, but after a few duels against enemy worms, Boggy got the hold of what it was all about and started to win battle after battle. But it's a large world and he is probably still out there slaking his thirst for worm blood...

“Oh I do love to be beside the seaside.” That’s what a Chorley granny was singing when she scooped more than £47,000 on the Blackpool bingo. The woman celebrated her 65th birthday on Saturday and was on holiday with her husband and friend. The mother of four, wanted to remain anonymous and said that it was the very lovely birthday present to her.
The operations manager at Mecca Bingo Club, said that she was in total shock when she realized that she had won the money. She won both the national bingo game prize of £45,000 plus other prizes.
