The Den of Wolves is one of Aesop's Fables, although not as well known as most others. Due to its obscurity and moral, it has sometimes been titled in modern retellings as A Communist Dictator or A Socialist Regime.
Story
A wolf who was the leader of a den decreed that all the wolves must take what they have hunted and divide it up to be equally distributed among all, so that the den would not starve. This continued until one such meeting when one of the older wolves said that the leader was observed living in a comfortable cave on the side of the mountain, so by his own laws he needed to somehow transport the cave to the meeting so it could be divided up equally amongst all the wolves. This revelation of the leader's secret residence causes uproarious laughter amongst the other wolves, which mortifies the leader into repealing his decree and saying that wolves may now keep entirely what they hunt or find.
Moral of the story: Those who advocate equality for all and forced redistribution of wealth do not live by the standards they impose on others.

Malmesbury Morris are a Morris Dancing side based in the town of Malmesbury, Wiltshire. They draw their membership from the town itself, and from many of the surrounding towns and villages in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
There is a reference to Morris Dancers from Malmesbury dating back to 1641 though the tradition seems to have died out before the 20th Century:-
It was the custom in Long Newnton, Wiltshire of marking Trinity Sunday by having a maid of the town drape a garland of flowers around the neck of a bachelor from another parish while claiming a monetary payment and granting three kisses. In June 1641 men carrying the garland were met by a gang of men from nearby Malmesbury, led by one “with a hobby-horse and bells on his legs”. “Win it and wear it” challenged one of the Malmesbury morris men, “come three score of you, you are but boys to we.” A bloody melee ensued. - The Acoustic World of Modern England - B.R.Smith
The modern side was started in 2004. They perform traditional and new dances from the Cotswold Morris and Border Morris traditions.
Malmesbury Morris meet on Thursdays at the Reading Room in Corston, Wiltshire - about 3 miles South of Malmesbury. New dancers or musicians are always welcome.

The Science Stuff Network is a website known primarily for its collection of interactive science resources. The collection of web resources include videos, images, demos, animations, Ask-A-Scientist and breaking science news in multimedia format. The aim is to explore new technologies like blogs, podcasts, and videos to create a virtual laboratory - a place where learning can happen by performing virtual science experiments.
A registered user can write a science blog - full of your observations, discoveries, and eureka moments, recommend science resources, and make scientist friends.
Science Stuff Network was launched as www.sciencestuff.net in November 2007 at CAST - Conference for the Advancement of Science Teachers organized annually by Science Teachers Association of Texas at Austin, TX. Recently, a Facebook application was launched to create a social dimension to the website by introducing collaborative filtering of science resources.

The Nintnedo Princess are as follows: (note that they all are cousins and this has been proven as canon.)
Princess Peach
She is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and gets kidnapped by the evil King Koopa/Bowser all the time. Mario however comes to her aid, and he saves her and the kingdom from Koopa. She is often a "damsel in distress". She has appeared in all Mario Kart and Mario Party games, including sports as well like Golf and Basketball. She shares a very strong cousin relationship with Daisy and Zelda. Daisy is her cousin, and so are Zelda, Rosalina, and believe it or not, Midna. She appears with Zelda in the Smash Bros. series. With Daisy, it is usually in the Mario Kart/Party games and sports. She made two appearances with Rosalina in Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii. No appearances with her and Midna have been made yet. Her symbol is her crown.
Princess Zelda
She is the princess of Hyrule. Ganondorf/Ganon is always kidnapping her, and attempts total power over Hyrule. Link however, saves Zelda and Hyrule from the horrible fate it receives from Ganon. She bears the Triforce of Wisdom on her hand. She is known to be very wise and graceful. She has the ability to transform into Sheik, who is a Sheikah girl. She shares a very close cousin relationship with Midna and Peach. She appeared with Midna in Twilight Princess and appeared alongside Peach in the Smash Bros. series. She has appeared in most of the Zelda games. Her symbol is the Triforce. She has made no appearances with Daisy or Rosalina yet.
Princess Daisy
She is the princess of Sarasaland. Tatanga, the evil alien, kidnaps her and plans to marry her and rule her kingdom. But, Mario comes to her aid and rescues her. She is more athletic (tomboy). She appeared in sports games, party games, and kart games. She has appeared alongside Peach in many games, and with Rosalina in Mario Kart Wii. She shares a close cousin relationship with Peach and Rosalina. She enjoys sports and athletics. Her first appearance was in Super Mario Land and later in Mario Party 3 and Mario Tennis. Her symbol is a flower.
Princess Midna
She is the princess of the Twilight Realm. Zant causes trouble for her, and turns her into something that she isn't. She shares a close cousin relationship with Zelda, and has only made an appearance with Zelda in Twilight Princess. Link too saves her land as well as Hyrule. However, she does not get taken by Zant, but she aids Link as a sidekick along the way. Her symbol is a Twilight Eye.
Princess Rosalina
She is the princess of the Galaxy Kingdom. However, since very little is known abut her, this is only a guess made by many that she is princess of the "Galaxy Kingdom". She loves little Lumas. She shares a close cousin relationship with Peach, and a bit of Daisy. She appeared with Peach in Mario Galaxy, and with Peach and Daisy in Mario Kart Wii. She almost made an appearance with Peach and Zelda in SSBB as an assist trophy, but she was removed. Her symbol is a star.
