Today’s a great day to be a wikiHowian :)

About Me

Hiya! My name is ButterflyInTheStars, or Butterfly, a teenage girl who has a ton of interests. One thing you should know is that my life is divided into four parts: school, hobbies, IRL friends and family, and wikiHow. I enjoy reading, writing, crocheting and music. I have started scrapbooking and gardening. On wikiHow, however, I dabble in a lot of different topics. I love meeting wikiPeeps, so feel free to stop by my user page and say hi! Scroll down to see some UIBs. My time zone is Gulf Standard Time (GST), so if I don’t reply immediately, it means that I’m snoozing ;) I'm not so active on wikiHow anymore, but I do pop in often to patrol several edits or work a little on my articles.

Did you know that teens that have gotten their hands on e-cigarettes are twice as likely to try traditional cigarettes than those who have not tried them?

And did you know that e-cigarettes are more harmful than regular cigarettes?

E-cigarettes aren't just harmless water vapor.

Put {{No ecigs}} on your User page to spread awareness about e-cigarettes.

Important:

Forty-two percent of all teens have tried smoking marijuana.

If you have not, add {{Important}} to your user page.

Teenagers are twice as likely to abuse drugs as adults. If you think that this is the kind of behavior that influences stereotypes about teens and that this should be stopped, put {{Drug Free}} on your User Page.

Attention:
A black man walked into a caf­è early one morning and noticed he was the only African American there. As he sat down he noticed a white man sitting behind him. The white man tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Colored people aren't allowed in here."

The black man replied, "When I was born I was black, when I'm sick I'm black, when I go in the sun I'm black, when I'm cold I'm black, when I die I'll be black, but you sir... when you were born you were pink, when you are sick you are green, when you stay in the sun you are red, when you are cold you turn blue, and when you die you turn purple! And yet you have the nerve to call me colored!"

Put {{Noracists}} on your User Page if you are against racism.

In memory of:

“…of the Day”s

Word of the Day:

Poppycock: nonsense.

Historic Fact of the Day

Omaha Beach was a disaster during D-Day, because fog caused bombers to miss the enemy. Therefore, the German outpost still stood when troops landed.

Question of the Day

If parents say “Never take candy from strangers,” how are we supposed to trust them on Halloween?

wikiHow Tip of the Day

Harry Potter Quote of the Day
I should have made my meaning plainer, said Professor McGonagall, turning at last to look at Umbridge directly in the eyes. He has achieved high marks in every Defence Against the Darks Arts test set by a competent teacher.

English translation: Studies show that only thirty-seven percent of people have the English knowledge and the brain capacity to understand Pig Latin. Seventy-five percent of those people are children, and fifty percent of those children know Pig Latin. It’s really not that hard to learn, just take the first letter in the word and put it at the end. Then add an ‘A’ after the letter you moved. I can speak Pig Latin, so I’m one of the few! If you can read this, add this to your user page by copying and pasting {{Pig Latin}} to your profile!
