By Lou Mumford 1 EAU CLAIRE Apparently, spitting tart cherry pits, an
activity that began at Eau Claire's Tree-Mendus Fruit
Farm as a neighborhood get-together and evolved into
an international competition, is a difficult habit to
break.
2 Don't believe it? The orchard at 9351 E. Eureka Road
on Saturday will host its 40th annual pit spit.
3 With every such event, it seems, there has been
suspense and even shock as contestants let the pits fly
across the 100-foot asphalt court. Usually, it's Rick
"Pellet Gun" Krause, a 15-time tournament champion,
or members of his pit-spitting family who are
responsible for the shock and awe.
4 Take, for example, Brian "Young Gun" Krause's spit in
2003 that traveled, with the roll-yes, rolls count-an
incredible 93 feet, 6 1/2 inches. Spits like that are the
reason a Krause usually walks off as tournament

I'm not going to write 150 words lol, but i will you with giving you examples of how they kept the animal population from revolting. napoleon made a list of rules, and told everyone how "important they are even though he was known to break them and then have them changed by the only animal who could read on the farm. none of the animals were intelligent enough to read, so they never knew if they had been changed or not which was an advantage to napoleon. napoleon constantly reminded them that if they revolted they would have to go back to mr. jones' way of things, which in retrospect was "worse" (wasn't really worse though, he was just saying that to intimidate since he didn't wanna lose his power). one of the main reasons they revolted in the first place was food, and of course if they revolt napoleon will not share food with them.
