Do you want to explore new worlds?

• In a distant and second-hand set of dimensions,
  in an astral plane that was never meant to fly,
  the curling star-mists waver and part
• See
• From The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett

Do you believe in fairies?

• With the moon already rising on the surface,
  there was no time for a proper breakfast. Holly
  grabbed the remains of a nettle smoothie from the
  cooler and drank it in the tunnels. As usual
  there was chaos in the main thoroughfare.
  Airborne sprites jammed the avenue like stones in
  a bottle. The gnomes werent helping either,
  lumbering along with their big swinging behinds
  blocking two lanes.
• From Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

What about adventure?

• Though nothing of the vault except the roof was
  visible from where I lay, and so I could not see
  the visitors, yet I could hear every word being
  spoken, and soon made out one voice as being
  Master Ratseys. This discovery gave me no
  surprise but much solace, for I thought that if
  the worst happened and I was discovered, I should
  find one friend with whom I could plead for life.
• From Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner

Or do you want to know about real life?

• Believe me, if youve been shut up for a year and
  a half, it can get to be too much for you
  sometimes. But feelings cant be ignored, no
  matter how unjust and ungrateful they seem. I
  long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the
  world, feel young and know that Im free, and yet
  I cant let it show.
• Taken from The Diary of Anne Frank

What about the weird and wonderful?

• Amazing Feats
• HEAVIEST WEIGHT DANGLED FROM A SWALLOWED SWORD
• Matthew Henshaw (Australia) swallowed a
  non-retractable 40.5 cm (15.9 in) long sword and
  then held a sack of potatoes weighing 20.1 kg (44
  lb 4.96 oz) attached to the handle of the sword
  for five seconds at the studios of Guinness World

  16 April 2005.
