Give us your suggestions!

*Too long? Don't want to read anything? Here's the link.

Today, I'm here to present something that I've always wanted to add to SkyAkes, a suggestions feature. The biggest problem I've found in managing and writing this blog is that writer's block can be pretty uncooperative when it's 3:00 AM on a school day. In order to remedy this and add a feature to allow you, the readers, to become more interactive with this blog, I've decided to add a "article request-ation" form at a cool site called "Papyrs".

Here are some of the writer's blocks I talk about. Dang them and their weight!

Pretty much, the idea is that you, the reader, can ask us to cover any topic your little heart desires, and we'll consider writing about it. (If you want an article musing the ideas of string theory and Q-balls, we may reconsider) Along with that, this will allow us to concentrate on the topics that you guys really care about, and less on things like "fun facts about your toes" that I sometimes resort to.

The horror!

In order to satisfy your irrational suspicion that we're simply trying to steal your one million dollar ideas, feel free to leave your name in one of the provided boxes, and we'll gladly credit you for the idea. However, you can remain anonymous if you wish.

Without further ado, here's the article request-ation link. 

3 Important Things To Do In A Fight

We've all gotten in a physical one-on-one fight before, right? Regardless of you being the person dealing the punches, or the one receiving all the pain, I think it's safe to say that we've all seen humanity's tendency towards conflict. Due to this, it would be an exceptional time to discuss three very important fundamentals that everyone should know before entering a fight. While you won't suddenly become the Bruce Lee in the battlefield after reading this article, it'll certainly help you get started.

At very least, it'll help you get 4.6% less dominated in the arena.

3. Curl your thumbs on the side of your fist (aka. Remember how to form a fist)

One of the most important thing you can do in a fight is to make sure your tools of fighting are in proper condition, before throwing the first punching. While we're sure that you have enough common sense to not fight someone if your hands are bandaged up from a severe chainsaw accident resulting in the lost of all your fingers, there are some precautions to take for everyone that are vital to the resultant fight. The first thing you can do is to curl your thumbs on the side of your curled fingers. (Consult below image if the your visual brain centers of your brain fail you)

Feel free to angrily shake your fist as such to celebrate such accomplishment.

4 Suggestions To Pull Off The Perfect Crime

While we don't endorse crime, haven't we all thought, "Hey, I wonder how I would pull off the perfect murder" or "Wow, that criminal's stupid, I would have totally done it this way" at one point of our lives? Of course! Can't blame you! But before you stroll around like the perfect criminal, why don't you read some of the following suggestions to help you pull off the perfect crime? Ahem, I mean "business meeting". Pull off the perfect "business meeting".

4. Go With Generics

You know those people that dress for murder? Those people are probably already in jail right now, so lets completely disregard them. One of the first things you can before you plan to rob a store or murder someone is, make sure that none of your tools or possessions can link you to the crime. 

When collecting evidence, forensic scientists classify evidence as either individualized evidence or class evidence. Individualized evidence directly links a specific person to a crime while class evidences only narrows down the possible suspects to a specific group or "class" of people. Wouldn't it be better if any evidence found in the crime scene can only link people with Nike shoes to the crime scene to opposed to people with hand-crafted shoes made out of extremely rare material only found from a specific region of the world?

If you're a horse, then you're on your own.

When purchasing clothing and tools to commit a crime, it's generally better to use 'new' and extremely common clothing and tools in order to increase the possible suspects of a crime, therefore reducing the chance of being caught red-handed the instant you leave the crime scene. Using 'new' generic items also assists your cause because any scuff marks on the "item" can make that item individualized evidence. For example, if you have a giant cut in the sole of your left shoe, your shoe print will mark out that special cut in extreme detail for your criminal investigators.
