Who came up with this evil WORLD BOOK DAY?
There are two things that I do not like in this world:
-Kurt Vonnegut
-Books
-The Philippines
-Books
-Elitist things of intellectual value
-And lastly books.
Why did they come up with this day? It is oppressive as books are simply appendages of the vicious, conniving, liberal media. Also, WHO came up with this? If it wasnt Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Thomas Jefferson, Steven Colbert, or Bill OReilly, than I am not biting.
As a recap: Who came up with this day, and why?
Answer: It's a communist plot to wrench hapless, adolescent drones from the velcro claws of their digital nursemaids.

Any last minute ideas that a girl could go as for WORLD BOOK DAY?
I found out World book day is right around the corner, what do i dress as. (Im 13 by the way)
Any suggestions?
Answer: For very easy costumes that use what you all ready have:
If you wear your hair long - a headband, a dress and you're Alice in Wonderland
Wear your regular clothing and attach price tags, sale tags, as is tags, etc all over and be a "Shopaholic"
Wrap yourself in aluminum foil, wear a little red hat or wrap your head in red fabric - be a thermometer. Attach numbers to a line going down your center - use high numbers - "Fahrenheit 451"
"Little Red Riding Hood" costume sounds easy - and now all the stores are selling baskets for Easter, so the basket is readily available all over.
"Pippi Longstocking" - pipe cleaners make your braids stick straight out, striped stockings and you're almost there.
If you have black clothing (dress, and blouse or dress) you can go as Miss Viola Swamp - pencil on the mole.

Any good costume ideas for WORLD BOOK DAY?
Im a 14 year old girl and i cant think of any good original but recognisable book/tv characters for World book day were my whole school is dressing up. any ideas will be appreciated :)
Answer: go and have a wonder around the library. honestly as boring and geeky as it seem its quite very interesting and you'll pick up on great original ideas.
otherwise some ideas can include characters from famous books like Harry P or Lord of the Rings (or other Tolkien characters) or going back, how about Alice in Wonderland or Narnia or go as some Disney characters, ones that have been inspired from books like Peter Pan or Snow White or Cinders etc. Speaking of Disney characters inspired from books how about Aladdin or any other characters from any of the Arabian Nights tales.
Best bet I reckon is go to the library as all the books are there and you can see and get a feel of the characters and you'll also get to see if the costumes going to be easy or complex to get (or make if your adventurous).
Good luck!
