CREATIVENGLISH LEARNING 
I honestly don’t believe in any of these headlines, except the first one. They are only interesting and funny. I could be wrong, but … For example, I can’t generalize that all the Italians doesn’t like number 17 and that all the Japanese doesn’t like number four. The World Cup results depends of the players’ abilities. Triskaidekaphobia and Paraskevidekatriaphobia are just foolishness! People are not afraid of numbers, but of what they have learned about it. I’m just afraid of math! And, about the scientist, well, all scientists can be a little crazy, we like them…
But there’s a hard-to-believe story that I can write about. It’s about the story that the world will end in 2012. Is it true? I don’t think so, the world went on in 1000, 2000, 2001 and will go on in 2012…
I honestly do not believe in any such securities, except the first. They are interesting and funny at the same time. For example, are widespread that the results of the World Cup depends on the skills of the players. But it’s hard to believe the story we all talk no more sure of anything is true? I think so, Did anybody know that the day of tomorrow
I honestly don’t believe in any of these headlines, except The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper. I think maybe it’s true, but i don’t know, almost the scientist are crazy, but who know’s. The world cup to win need’s a good team obviuosly, but some money can interfere in the result, so it’s complicated.
A hard-to-believe story, I think the same of Alex, I don’t believe so.
I honestly don´t belive in any of these headlines,for example,I dont think so the world cup is a fraud because the champions have the best soccers players in the world,like Brazil,Argentina.
And the Chickenosaurus,dinosaur and chicken are of different species,so,it is impossible to create a dinosaur starting from chicken
And the firts one I dont know nothing about it…
I believe in the first one, because the hemp’s fiber is widely used in paper industry, so it may be possible that the declaration of independence was written on hemp paper. According to the theory of evolution the birds came from dinosaurs, considering that birds are bipedal and lay eggs just like the dinosaurs were, but I don’t believe it is possible to use cells from chickens to bring their acestrals, or of any other animal. And the about the World Cup, I can’t say that the results are a fraud, but it can be possible because everything that involves money we can question.
There is a book and a movie that says the Egyptian pyramids were built by extraterrestrial, it is hard to believe, because they are old buildings so there is no concrete evidence.
i don´t belive in any of these headlines. Many headlines like the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp or creat dinosaur by a chicken, and a fraud in a cup because a champions have the best players. I this just a stupid person would belive in a thisgs like these. i think we need use at firt a brain before belive in all the newspaper and magazines says.
I don’t belive in any of these headlines! It would be very strange at least a declaration of independence written on on hemp paper, Many such matters as these are only for cause polemics and foremost, we should not believe everything that magazines and newspapers speak!
