Are there pencil # 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and more? If so, up to what number?

And why is #2 the most common and popular (I don't even know if I've seen other numbers)? Any specific reasons?

People used to say "cheese" for taking a good picture. Similarly, people say "qiezi" instead of "cheese" in Chinese. I'm wonderring if anybody could tell me how to "say cheese" in other languages.

So I went to the University of Missouri for my first semester freshman year. I hated it. I got really homesick (5 hours away) and depressed, and ended up coming home. I went to a community college for my second semester, and I was a lot more comfortable there for some reason. It seemed more like high school I guess, which I loved. Small classes, people I knew, etc. So this year (my first semester sophomore year) I am going to a private University here in my hometown right down the street. I know I love being in my hometown, but it kind of brings back the memories from my horrible time at Mizzou. . .I just don't want to get back in to that depressed mode. People are from all over, and I have a hard time connecting to new people. I have friends here in town, and I'm totally cool with hanging out with them. How can I feel more comfortable at this University?

Ok i am sorry i flew off the handle so ill say it right. To the union if scores are raising then why do we have the most dropouts. Just try competion we do have proof it works in resturants and things like that. I am sorry but i learned more in homeschooling. I think kids should choose where to learn. If you just care about order and nothhing to change. Have u tlked to the teens that deal with evil teachers or not being able to learn now that i think about it i am blessed i left school i am homeschooled. Now i cry just thinking of all the time i wasted. If you can homeschool ur kids but 4 those who can't understand we must fight this is AMERICA freedom of chioce and with that don't we have right to choose other schools. I don't care about taxes or places and locations where ur forced to go. I want to learn so i can be what i want to be but i want to be smart not a loser. Everyone in the union don't u see public schools are failing some winning but mostly failing Lets just learn please

How is it that two cultures, who supposedly knew nothing of each other we building similar objects that we call "pyramids"?

Is it a coincidence that the Mayans, who came up with an ending calandar and the concept of zero, knew nothing of the Egyptians but decided they wanted to build pyramids? Why? Who would come up with this idea except for the Egyptians and then the Mayans.

I believe that if the Egyptians were smart enough to find a way to build a pyramid then they sure as hell were smart enough to find their way across Africa and to the Atlantic and then to Central America as we know it today.

It's just too much of a coincidence that two peoples who were on the other side of the world from each other would be doing the same concept of building a pyramid and large bustling cities at the same time.

Who agrees with me? Who believes that it is possible that the Egyptians discovered America before Columbus and that the Mayans are Ancient Egyptians? Is it too much of a coincidence?
