June 12 (UPI) -- Students at an Oregon middle school used recycled materials to design and build a prototype prosthet- ic for a dog with a spinal injury.
The seventh graders at Valley Catholic Middle School in Beaverton were challenged to create a prototype prosthetic for Ember, a 16-week old labradoodle whose back legs were paralyzed as a result of a spinal injury.
The project served as the final exam for the school's
STEM program.
The school's STEM teacher, Susan Fu, told KATU-TV the goal of the project is to "challenge students to apply their knowledge to a real-world scenario."
The students' designs, which were all constructed from recycled materials, were tested using a stuffed animal.
The school said there is a possibility of the more suc- cessful designs from the class being 3D printed in full-size to see if they can help Ember walk.
Three guys go to a ski lodge, and there aren't enough rooms, so they have to share a bed.
In the middle of the night, the guy on the right wakes up and says, "I had this wild, vivid dream of getting a hand job!"
The guy on the left wakes up, and unbelievably, he's had the same dream, too.
Then the guy in the middle wakes up and says, "That's funny, I dreamed I was skiing!"
It's game 7 of the NBA finals and a man makes his way to his seat at center court.
He sits down and notices that the seat next to him is empty.
He leans over and asks his neighbor if some- one is sitting there. He responds, "No, the seat's empty."
"The first man exclaims, "What?!? Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the NBA finals and not use it?"
The neighbor responds, "Well the seat is mine, but my wife passed away and this is the first NBA finals we haven't been together."
The first man responds," I'm sorry to hear that. Wasn't there any- one else, a friend or relative, that could've taken that seat?"
The neighbor responds, "No, they're all at the funeral."
A boy is selling fish on a corner. To get his cus- tomers' attention, he is yelling, "Dam fish for sale! Get your dam fish here!"
A pastor hears this and asks, "Why are you calling them 'dam fish.'" The boy responds, "Because I caught these fish at the local dam."
The pastor buys a couple fish, takes them home to his wife, and asks her to cook the dam fish. The wife responds surprised, "I didn't know it was acceptable for a preacher to speak that way."
He explains to
her why they are dam fish. Later at the dinner table, he asks his son to pass the dam fish. He responds, "That's the spirit, Dad! Now pass the f*cking pota- toes!"
A bus full of ugly people had a head on collision with a truck.
When they died, God granted all of them one wish. The first person said, "I want to be gorgeous." God snapped his fin- gers and it hap- pened.
The second per- son said the same thing and God did the same thing. This want on and on throughout the group.
God noticed the last man in line was laughing hys- terically. By the time God got to the last ten peo- ple, the last man was laughing and rolling on the ground.
When the man's turn came, he laughed and said, "I wish they were all ugly again."
