Sneak Peek of the General Store!
Shopping online? Shop with Whyville!
Do you shop online?
You probably do, and if you haven't yet, you will.
Recent studies have shown that people your age make up
a major part of the folks who buy things through the
Internet. In fact, the number of people who bought
things online last year was 22% more than in 2003.
Eventually, everybody will have bought something
online!
So why not do your shopping with Whyville?
And we don't mean face parts and projectiles. We're talking
real things like your favorite band's latest CD, the book your
cousin told you about, or even your shampoo.
How? We're about to open a "General Store" where you can
buy just about anything, like you can at
Amazon.com. In fact, Whyville is now an Amazon affiliate,
which means that anything that's on Amazon.com, we can
make available on Whyville.

A Hindu Ceremony
Xwhydivax shares the Hindu spirit!!
As I read a while ago in the Whyville Times, the Times Editor is getting married!
He said that it was "a groovy Hindu ceremony" and that if anyone wanted
to submit an article on weddings, they could do so. So, I decided to write one.
My friend at school is Hindu, and I have also been to many Hindu weddings since
my mum's friend is Hindu.
A Christian wedding is quite different from a Hindu wedding in many ways. In
my opinion, I think Hindu weddings are much more colorful, and have a great
atmosphere. There are always lots of music, people and decorations around the
time. And the food is great!
Long ago in the Hindu society, the parents of children would match up their
child with a suitable husband or wife. Arranged marriages of this sort are still
somewhat popular now, though in many cases the children have varying degrees
of input in who they'll marry in the end.
The weddings have changed from time to time, but I am going to explain one
that I went to last year. This wedding took place in London, England.
