ClanAHaHA is the affectionate nickname of the Adult Heathens and Heretics Association. They are a group of adult gamers that play RuneScape together. The clan that they formed has a website www.clanahaha.com This site is the forum that is used to keep in touch and organize events. These group of adults consisting of age 21 and older RuneScape players do things together, called "clan events" in the Runscape relm. They have a wide age range from age 21 and up some into their 40's, 50's, even 60 and above. the average clan members age is 42. This social group was formed by RS player names romeo3333, bisquirrel, cmydob, and talwyn. They were in another group as moderators and decided that it was corrupt and felt that it infringed on peoples basic rights to be represented by their leaders. There were a few other people that were invited in AHaHA's folds in its conceptual stages. There were power struggles after a few months, between the concept creators and a few contributors whom felt they should be in control of power. Those few that felt that they should be in charge had a revolt and left to form a much smaller clan. The AHaHA group founders set out to create a membership ruled community. They decided to share all control and responsibilities equally through majority vote. In just over 1 year AHaHA had well over 100 members join. The most unusual thing about AHaHA seems to be that AHaHA has only one rule "to have fun in a respectable manor". AHaHA does have suggestive guidelines. They only use guidelines to protect and keep the clan as a strong family unit of friends And remind people to play nice at all times. The guidelines are decided by the membership through a majority vote, and controlled by that membership. The clan was based on a few simple concepts. Concepts such as "Every member has a voice and a vote", "a group by the people, for the people" and "a small active group of friends is better than a large group of inactive strangers". AHaHA during its beginnings tried to get the url ahaha.com, but it was taken, so they settled on www.clanAHaHA.com to represent the unity of a clan or family in its url as well as the "humorous" AHaHA abbreviation. The clan officially opened October 10th 2006. They have become one of the top, of the few adult clans in rs in many peoples opinions, offering a place for adults to gather to enjoy and discuss a game that they all share in common. AHaHA has many members whom have children that play. A sub-section of AHaHA was formed called Tyrants to represent members children under age 21.

Stanford Hall (Loughborough)

Stanford Hall is a Stately Home in the village of Stanford on Soar in Leicestershire, UK.

The hall was originally built between 1771 and 1774 for Charles Vere Dashwood. Perhaps the Hall's most interesting owner however was Sir Julian Cahn who bought the hall in 1928 and proceeded to make many additions including a professional grade theatre designed by Cecil Aubrey Massey

Sir Julian Cahn died in 1944 and the family was forced to sell the house to the Co-operative union in order to pay death duties. The hall stayed in the ownership of the Co-operative union until it was sold to the Raynsway Group in 2001.

The property developer Chek Whyte purchased the hall in 2007 and has announced a large scale renovation of the property.

The Leach Center at Florida State University

The Bobby E. Leach Center at Florida State University was established in 1984 in response to Big Brother's advice as well as the overgrowth of a swelling (literally and figuratively) student population. Names under consideration included George Orwell Scullery and Natatorium, Eli Tatem Weightlifting Center, Bobby E. Leach Center, Fresh Foods, as well as others. In the end,it was named in honor of the famous stuntman, Bobby Leach. The main objective of the Recreation Arena is to rejuvinate, rehydrate, and reenergize students, faculty, staff, and locals.

Bobby Leach

Born into a broken home in colonial America, Leach was the son of a baker. Not just any baker, Jason Leach could make the best empanadas anyone had ever seen or tasted. His mother was no college student, as she could whip a cheesburger that could make your mouth water like Angel Falls during the wet season. Faring nary the best in his class at sport, Bobby Leach sought other adventures. He dreamed of the outdoors, someday dreaming of hiking Cherry Hill, or slip 'n' sliding down the aquaducts. At such a time in his life, little Bobby could never have dreamed of what would become his lifetime feat. After gaining worldwide renown in eating competitions, Bobby looked to heavens. It just so happened he was tube-floating on the calm Hudson River staring upwards at none other than the great Niagara Falls. In just under a decade, he had assembled the courage, and the barrel to fall down the falls- and survive. Sure enough, when he exited the water, he was rushed by photographers and women alike.

Natatorium

In keeping with the spirit of water, the Center was decided to contain the most pristine and functional natatorium in the county. At first blueprints, the sector contained but a kiddie pool and enlarged fireplace room with wood panels covering the floor, walls, and roof. Once the Governor got wind of such atrocities, the plans were quickly revamped. It now houses the second largest swimming pool in Northern Florida, nearly 50% the length of a football field, or half that of a soccer pitch. It also has ovens for steaming vegetables, as well as people, along with boiling pots lifeguarded by some of the best lobster curators in the business.

The Bobby E. Leach Center

The Bobby E. Leach Center at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida was established in November of 1986 in memory of those fallen in the Freedom space shuttle explosion of January 1986. Bobby Leach, the captain of that ship, had the long-term life goal of having an exercise facility built for his family and friends. This was discovered in his daily journals from the years 1975-1983. These journals have been read in literary circles and are considered to be instantly ingenious and of Classic status. Published by Vanderveer Books^TM in 1989, his journals have made statements of aversion of Racism, Support of Jehovah's Witnesses, and of the imminent possibility of a Big Brother role in United States government.

Bobby Leach

Bobby E. Leach was born on January 21st, 1949 to parents Jason Leach and Margaret (Fizzletoffer)Leach. Born into a gluttonous household, Bobby E. Leach was spoiled as a child. He received outrageously expensive gifts from family and friends, and was doted on every day of his life. However, the rich pumpkin pies he would eat every Friday night would soon turn into humble pies, as the tables began to turn. The Depression of 1956 hit hard - especially the Leach household. Just as it did 85% of all American families, the Leach's economic status was destroyed. Bobby was left out in the streets to fend for himself. His father made him move out, so that he could go off and ride horses for money. Bobby Leach's favorite horse, Seabiscuit, was his favorite and most efficient. Leach rode into success, money, and power from the ages 12-21. With that success,money, and power, however, came sex, drugs and Rock 'n' Roll. Leach nearly overdosed on Crack Cocaine and contracted HIV.
