BARY SMITH head writer, contributer SOLAR SYSTEM

    Outer space is probably the neatest thing in the universe.  It is absolutely full of really interesting stuff to look at and our solar system is no exception.  From the tiniest asteroid or comet to the largest planet, its all fascinating.  I've got pictures of space stuff all over the walls of my bedroom and I never get tired of looking at them.  I put some of my favorites here on Zoomturtle.com.  I hope everybody who checks out these pictures likes them as much as I do.  I've also included lots of information about the objects so that people can know everything about what they are looking at.

    Someday I would like to live in outer space.  Maybe someday we'll all live in outer space.  That would be great. 

BYRON JONES contributer MARTIAN FACE

      The first time I saw a picture of the "Martian Face" I think I probably had the same reaction as most people.  I thought to myself, can this be for real?  Was this image of a face created by intelligent life?  Were there Martian people living in the solar system with us?  Living on Mars?  Yeah maybe, I thought to myself.  I showed the picture to a couple of my friends.  Wow, cool, one of them said.  Then he took another drag off the blunt he was smoking.  My other friend said, let me see that.  I handed him the picture.  That is definitely made by Martians, he said.  Just then the phone rang.  It was one of the guys' sister.  Turned out her name was Janice.  She wanted to come over and watch a movie she had rented at Blockbuster.  So she came over and we made popcorn and watched the movie.  The movie pretty much sucked but Janice was pretty cute.  I didn't make any moves on her that day but I definitely wanted to.  I was hoping maybe we'd bump into each other again but she ended up moving to Detroit.  Maybe it was Chicago.  So anyway, is this picture proof of life on Mars?  Take a look and decide for yourself.

GABRIEL DI MONTE contributer GUSTEP AND TICTOV

    Gustep and Tictov are based on real people.  The stories they tell are true.  Its all stuff that actually happened to me or my friends or maybe sometimes other people.  It is really cool being able to share these stories on Zoomturtle.  It is fun coming up with the designs for the different pictures and neat knowing that lots of people get to see them.  I think that the typical Zoomturtle fan is a lot like myself so, whoever you are out there reading this and looking at my stories and pictures, I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.

CAROL HOBBS contributer GALLERY, ZOOMNEWS

    Hi!  My name is Carol and I am the official Zoomturtle reporter.  I've been working here at Zoomturtle longer than anybody except Barry.  I really like working at Zoomturle.  It's a real blast.  And the guys are really cute.  And they're a lot of fun.  Sometimes after work we go out and have a few beers.  Then they get really funny.  They start telling dirty jokes.  My mother would kill me if she knew I was listening to those kinds of jokes.  I wish I could share a couple of them with you but Barry won't let me.  Anyway, like I said, I'm the official Zoomnews reporter and in the coming days I'm going to be doing a web blog and telling you about all kinds of stuff.  Not just stuff thats in the newspaper headlines or on TV but also stuff thats going on behind the scenes here at Zoomturtle.  I'll probably be doing some movie reviews too so keep an eye out for those.  Its all going to be cool.  I'm sure you're going to like it.  Anyway,  Zoomturtle fans, I love you as always.  So there it is.

Jerry Wilson contributor Opinion

    My name is Jerry.  I write the opinion column.  I have very strong opinions which is why I guess I was selected to write about them.  You name it-  I have an opinion on it.  I have an opinion on everything.  I have opinions on politics, on food, on entertainment...  everything.  So, if you have an opinion-  well, just keep it to yourself.  No one cares.  Just kidding.  Just joking, man.  Take a chill pill.  Is this making sense?  I feel like I'm not making any sense.  I feel like I'm prattling.  Oh, man, I think I am prattling.  Sorry.  It's no wonder though.  It's because I've only had about four hours of sleep in the last two days.  I was awake all last night at my other job.  Man, am I tired...   I told my boss at my night job to switch me to days but he won't do it.  He says he already has enough people on the day shift.  He says he only has room for me to work at night.  Thats a load of crap and he knows it.  People are always quitting the day shift.  A guy quit just last week but you know what my boss did?  He put his nephew in that position!  I was so pissed off.  I wanted to put my fist through the wall.  Seriously.  I've been working at that place for over a year and my boss's nephew has only been there for six weeks!  That sucks, right?  It sucks alright.  It sucks big time.
