Tech Tips: Twitter Follows

I've never really used twitter, nor browsed people I may want to follow, so I thought why not for this week's Tech Tip.

See, in first hour of darkness the ants would stop working, and exactly a minute before nine, the last ants would arrive one by one with their catch of food for the day. The mantis knew this was his chance to strike, his chance at survival. So the mant...

After a long enough time, the rats were curious and approached him. He stood on one foot and looked at the sun. He told the rats he worshipped the sun, and at no food. In a way, the cat posed as a deity to the rats. And so the rats worshipped him. They passed by him every day with offerings and bows, and sometimes the cat would offer life advice or words of wisdom. He managed to pick off rats one by one when the others weren’t looking till one day he was caught red handed. The king of the rats was suspicious of the cat, as his “troops” were going missing...hmmm. They caught him in the act, the rat victim jumping out of the way in time to survive.  The rats were vicious and overthrew him, killing him, and eating him. What a vicious way to die... There was a crocsdile couple that lived in the river, and a money tha...
