In this all new movie we find Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time”. To reclaim their bond they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, IT, as well as many new kooky characters. What could possibly go wrong?

“I feed billions of people, and I make them clever.” You should eat fish twice a week, because it’s really good for you: it is high in protein, and low in bad fats. Most importantly, many fish have high levels of a good kind of oil consisting of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish is often called brain food, because omega-3 fatty acids assist brain development and help prevent mental decline and depression. They are also great for your heart and arteries.

Electricity has a whole bunch of uses from making our lights and televisions work to running big machines in factories. Fuel can be coal that is used in a train engine or to power electric stations, natural gas that is used to heat up homes or petrol that our parents use in their cars. As…

Many years ago, the Post Office employed a baboon. At Komatipoort, a baboon fetched the mail daily. Unfortunately, the Boer War thwarted his permanent appointment! The Post Office used to also employ cats and dogs to act as rat-catchers and watchdogs. Feed for these essential staff members were budgeted each year.Animals outside the Post Office give rise to many problems. Many postmen can testify to this. In 1957, a postman bit off part of his attacker’s ear in self-defence in Pretoria. The incensed owner wanted to litigate by all means. However, her husband found this situation very amusing and made her give up this plan. As models, animals are very much sought after. In 1975, the Post Office received the prize for the world’s most beautiful stamp. Various animal species…
