The ALS Ice Bucket challenge is, according to Wikipedia, "an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head or donating to the ALS Association." Basically, once you're nominated, you have to dump a bucket of freezing ice water over your head and donate $10, or instead just donate $100. The money goes to help people with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that slowly destroys a person's ability to control their muscles (that's the best I can understand it). Stephen Hawking is a brilliant physicist who has lived 72 years despite only being able to move one cheek muscle, even though he was given 2 years to live when he was 21. Stephen Hawking->me as Marie Curie->C.J. Anyway, moving on.
 | First our Poptropica Comic heroes, Oliver and Jorge, accepted. Then things heated up (or, should I say, froze over). Zeus, Dr. Hare, and Black Widow accepted in their own quirky ways, and the former two managed to stoneface it. That's not all. Captain Crawfish just said... From two adventurous boys to one angry god of thunder, the Ice Bucket Challenge continues to spread across Poptropica. We're not done. Who will be next? Cross your fingers that Crawface, Comic Kid and Binary Bard are next! |
In other news, another three Land creations have been featured: a house by Mad Tiger (who has done cool stuff before), a haunted house by Hyper Drummer, and my personal favorite, a train by Striped Fox. All of them would look awesome to enter in Poptrickia's Land Contest (which got a shout-out from the Creators, by the way!). If you're a member, please enter your creations!
