You might be wondering what something above a box looks like. You have the box with the four same lines. Then the box with the six same boxes. You ask yourself, what is next? Well, it is easy! The next step is a box made of some number of those six sided boxes! As it turns out, that box can be made of two more boxes than before! You just need to move these boxes in a direction you can't see. You can go left and right, up and down, forward and back. But this one is towards a way these are not. But just as you move those four line boxes "up" from where they sit, you move these six sided boxes "up" from where they sit, in a direction they do not already sit. What would this weird box of boxes of boxes look like to you? It is also easy. When you look into any one of these sides, it would be like you are looking into a box! But here's the thing. It would look like you are looking into a different box from every side! It would look like the little room inside the box from one side is painted a different color from other sides you look into the box. They would also have different stuff inside of it! So you ask me. "Alright, here are six boxes! Where are the other two boxes you promised?" I will tell you where they are. Do you see the back of the boxes? The wall on the far side of the box from each side? Do you see how there are six of these far sides? Each of these boxes are right next to each other. They make, you guessed it, another box! It is on the very inside of the box. It is another room! But you can't see it. It is just like these other rooms! Where is the remaining box, you ask? Look at the whole thing. The whole thing is a box, isn't it? That's the remaining box. But just like if you placed a six sided box in a two direction world, you would only see the sides and not the top or bottom box, you can't see the room that the outside box and the inside box makes, even though they are both rooms! That is how these boxes would look to you!

My #upgoerfive submission or "what happens in the finding water animal movie": There was a animal that lived in the water and he was a bit smaller than the other animals. He went to school one day and saw a water car. Since his dad was being mean, he went to touch the water car. A man in the water caught him and took him to his mouth fixing place. He made friends there, and they tried to escape. During this time, his dad was looking for him, and met a nice lady and they teamed up to find him. They met some bigger water animals, and went to their house where they talked about not eating the smaller water animals. Then there were balls that made fire so they had to leave. They went a lot of places and met a lot of water animals. Some were green, and some were pink with weird legs. They met a flying animal who took them to the place his son was. He looked dead so they were sad. They went back to the water. But, he was able to escape through the water thing that goes to the bigger water. Then he found the nice lady, and they went to find his dad together. There were other water animals in trouble so they helped them escape by going down and they all got away. Then they went back to their house and school.

The ground moves along places where it is broken.  Those places are called faults.  Sometimes faults get stuck and then move very fast, and that makes the ground shake. When faults move, they move other things (like long land forms where water goes) into different places than they were before.  When we know how far land forms have moved and how old the land forms are, we can figure out how fast the fault has been moving.  Some faults look like they are moving faster right now than they usually do and some look like they are moving more slowly.  Maybe faults sometimes do move more slowly for a while because other faults near them are moving faster instead. There are a few ways to figure out if this happens.  Some people look in the ground to see how often the ground moves.  We look at how long land forms are or where they are now instead of where they used to be and then see how old they are.  Knowing how long it took for the land forms to go that far along the fault tells us how fast, on the whole, the fault has been going since the land form first appeared.  Then we can see if that is different than how fast it goes at other times, and know if there is a problem in our understanding of how and why faults move.

Randall Munroe's book Thing Explainer is coming November 24th, explaining complicated things using only the 1,000 most common English words. I took this spell checker for a spin: splasho.com/upgoer5/

Oh dear.Okay. Well, to start with, it’s green. It’s like a car but has two tires instead of four. (Really? That’s how I have to say it?) The two tires are in a straight line, one behind the other. It has a big box inside it. Into this box you put water that burns. Then you set the water on fire and the car with two tires goes fast. If all goes well, you are holding on tight. If not, you will fall and hurt yourself. That’s why people who ride these wear strong clothes that will save you if you fall.I have fallen a lot of times. Later this month, I will go to a place of learning and a person will show me how to be safe and not fall. This will be very good because I like my skin.

I was playing on a Mine-Make world with a player called Shake Man, but he completely broke the group town by dropping hot rock water all over it and setting everything on fire. I felt pretty shocked because he was a trusted higher-up in the group, and he seemed like a cool guy at first. Well, he eventually was given an always kicked state by the world's police for causing a bad mood, and now I'm working to fix the group's makes and homes. My group's town will become better than ever, with or without that bad mood causing fuck head Shake Man.
