Speed Type Challenge

If you haven't tried this site yet, do it now! But be warned . . . this speed type game is not for the faint of heart. It will get your adrenaline pumping and your fingers flying. See what level you can reach. The words are not typical, so you really have to concentrate, focus, and use correct keyboarding technique to be successful.

And here's your blogging assignment for this week:
  • Play the speed type game (several times)

  • Get to the highest level you can reach

  • Take note of the word that trips you up and makes you lose

  • Look up the definition of your "losing" word

  • In a comment to this blog post, provide your "losing" word, a definition, and compose a sentence using your word. Be creative!

  • Use your creature identity and period # at the end of your comment

  • Also, include the level you reached in the game

  • Your comment post is worth 10 points

Known as "the Man of 1,000 Voices," Melvin Jerome Blank was an accomplished bassist, violinist and sousaphone player. Early in his career he played in the NBC Radio Orchestra and conducted the pit orchestra at the Orpheum Theatre in Portland.
A voice specialist from radio, movies and TV, Blanc was rarely seen by his audience although widely recognized as the voice of virtually every major Warner Brothers cartoon character except Elmer Fudd. He is perhaps best known for the voice of Bugs Bunny. Joining the Warner Bros. studio in 1936 (1937?), Blanc’s voice was also featured as the original voice of Woody Woodpecker in 1940. The following year he was signed to an exclusive contract with Warner Bros.

Lucky me huh!!! All my life I’ve been living without knowing that my birthday landed on the same day as the famous 37th president Richard M. Nixon. He was born eighty years before though. Richard resigned from office on August 8th which just so happens to be the day that my sister was born (weird right?) he was born in Yorba Linda, California which is even weirder because Linda is my grandmothers name.
