They often lie to Calvin when he asks "how many monsters are under my bed?,
when they'd usually reply there's "only one" or "none and go to sleep".
Although various monsters were known to exist under Calvin's bed, two named monsters "Maurice" and "Winslow" appeared and re-appeared during the strip's middle times.
G.R.O.S.S.
Get Rid Of Slimy Girls is Calvin's anti-girl club.
The club's goal is to annoy and bother girls, and  Calvin's main target is Susie Derkins.
The club has only two members, Calvin and Hobbes.
Calvin is "supreme dictator-for-life" and Hobbes is the "first tiger".
They two usually make plans like throwing water balloons or snowballs at Susie.
Often these plans have a bad ending.
However, every time G.R.O.S.S finishes a mission or meeting, they always get awards such as medals, honors, and promotions.
Of course, the word "gross" also means disgusting.
School and homework
Calvin hates school and homework so much.
He usually tries to avoid them.
His Mom always makes him ride the school bus even though he does not want to, and sometimes tries to run home and not go to class.
In one Sunday comic strip, Calvin's imagination became so wild and creative that he imagined getting in a F-15 Eagle airplane and blasting his elementary school to pieces with many missiles.

Tony Randall (February 26, 1920 - May 17 2004) was an American actor.
He was best known for his role as Felix Unger on the television series The Odd Couple.
A lesbian is a homosexual woman.
This means a woman who is sexually attracted to other women, and not to men.
The word lesbian comes from Lesbos (), an island in Greece.
An ancient poet, Sappho, lived on Lesbos.
Sappho wrote mostly poems about love.
Many of her love poems are written to women.
So her name and the island where she lived make people think about women who love women.
Sometimes lesbians are also called Sapphists from the name Sappho.
Sapphic can be used as an umbrella term for love between women, regardless of their sexual or romantic orientation.
Lesbians and feminism
Lesbians were involved in the early feminist (a movement of women who want to be treated equally to men) movement.
Feminism is the political and social movements that promote women's equality and rights.
However, there was conflict between lesbians and straight (heterosexual) women in the feminist movement.
In the 1960s and 1970s some straight (women who like men) feminists wanted the lesbians out of the women's rights movement.
They wanted feminism to be accepted by society.
They believed lesbians were less accepted by society and might hurt the feminist movement.
Eventually, the women's rights movement accepted its lesbian members.
Now many important feminist leaders are out (out means that they make it known that they are lesbians) lesbians.
Lesbians as parents
Many lesbian couples want to have children of their own.
In order to raise children, they sometimes adopt.
However some places do not allow homosexual couples to adopt children, so many of them want to be able to adopt children.
Some lesbian couples also have their own biological children.
To do this they may have artificial insemination.
This is when sperm from a donor male is placed in a woman to make a pregnancy.
Some lesbian women do this at home with a friend they choose to be the donor.
However many may use sperm banks.
These are medical businesses that match couples who need donor sperm with men who will donate.
Sometimes this is done anonymously which means the couple does not know the donor.
Sometimes this is done with the donor known and even chosen by the couple.
Law and religion
Unlike gay sex between males, lesbian sex is not against the law in as many places.
Some religions that condemn gay male sex say nothing about lesbian sex.
Abrahamic religions usually see gay as well as lesbian relations as immoral.
Saint Paul in Epistle to the Romans 1:26 describes lesbianism as 'unnatural' and 'shameful'.
There are some religions, however, mostly new religious movements that accept lesbian relations.
In most parts of the world lesbian couples cannot marry.
This means they do not have the legal benefits and protection of marriage.
This can cause lesbians, and gay men, many problems.
A lesbian relationship wherein one of the partners is underage is called korephilia.

Dominique Marie François René Galouzeau de Villepin (born November 14, 1953), simply known as Dominique de Villepin, was Premier (or Prime Minister) of France from 31 May 2005 to 17 May 2007.
He was made Premier by Jacques Chirac after the French President removed Jean-Pierre Raffarin from the premiership.
Raffarin failed to gain the support of the French people for the European Constitution.
Dominique de Villepin said that his government's most important task would be job creation.
He knew that the French people were concerned about the condition of the French economy.
This was one of the reasons they had voted against the European Constitution in the referendum on 29 May 2005.
On 15 May 2007, the last full day of President Jacques Chirac's term, Villepin gave his resignation from the office of Prime Minister and it was accepted by the President.
He was replaced two days later by François Fillon.

Usually, the people choose someone who belongs to a political party.
When all the parties get together, the party or coalition with the most members is the government and runs the country.
The leader of that party is called the Prime Minister.
The House of Commons hold their meetings in the Palace of Westminster.

Powers and Abilities
Note that all these abilities are from Bhagavata Purana and Vishnu Purana.
Omniverse manipulation/Absolute Manipulation/Meta Manipulation/Preservation: As the preserver, Vishnu can control anything and everything.
The power to protect everything from anything is the reason why he is also called the Supreme protector of his devotees.
Absolute destruction: In the Vishnu purana, Vishnu is also described as the creator, destroyer, and preserver.
As the destroyer, he can even destroy infinity or the omniverse.
Omni-Creation Or Absolute Creation: As the creator in Vishnu purana, Vishnu has the power to create everything, even infinity and beyond.
The power to have limitless power upon seeing the Supreme form of lord Vishnu arjuna describes him having infinite prowess or power.
The Lord has the power to do absolutely everything, even creating something that is bigger than infinity itself.
In Chapter 11 Of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna/Vishnu shows Arjuna everything—all of creation: time, space, past, present, future, omniverse, fictional and real human beings, and more.
It is beyond human imagination to actually comprehend it.
Omnipresent: The power to be everywhere at every time including beyond the omniverse in both past present and future.
When Lord Krishna/Vishnu shows his Supreme appearance, it is described being everywhere, yet people can't see it because they don't have the divine vision.
Only Maharishis/sages, gods, Sanjaya, and arjuna are able to see this Vishvarupa.
Absolute Transcendence/Being Above All Things: The Vishnu Purana also describes Vishnu being above all descriptions such as logic, time, space, etc.
He is an infinite dimensional being according to Vishnu Sahasranamam.

Money laundering is something some criminals do to hide the money they make from crimes.
Criminals do money laundering to make it hard for the police to find out where the criminal got the money.
One way criminals launder money is by using the money earned from illegal activities to buy things (like gold and silver, shares or casino chips, other legitimate business activities like food or liquor stores) and then selling those items to get the money back.
If a criminal buys and sells things many times it is hard for the police to find out where the criminal got the money.
Some countries have laws to try to stop money laundering.
These laws help the police to find out when criminals try to do money laundering.
Under the laws in some countries, business people must:
tell the Government when someone pays them a lot of money (for example $10,000) or when someone puts a lot of money in their bank
tell the Government if they think someone is doing money laundering, and
write down on paper, or on a computer, every time someone gives them a lot of money or they give someone a lot of money.
In 1989, some countries set up a group of people from different Governments to tell countries the best ways to stop money laundering.
This organization is called the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering.
The following countries have joined the Financial Action Task Force (FATF/GAFI):
Saint Maarten
Money laundering in Canada
In Canada money laundering is a serious issue.
The government of Canada has allocated more than $70 million to fight money laundering.
Zeus is the god of the sky, lightning and the thunder in Ancient Greek religion and mythology, and ruler of all the gods on Mount Olympus.
Zeus is the sixth child of Cronos and Rhea, king and queen of the Titans respectively.
His father, Cronos, swallowed his children as soon as they were born for fear of a prophecy which foretold that one of them would overthrow him.
When Zeus was born, Rhea hid him in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete, giving Cronos a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes to swallow instead.
When Zeus was older he went to free his brothers and sisters; together with their allies, the Hekatonkheires and the Elder Cyclopes, Zeus and his siblings fought against the Titans in a ten-year war known as the Titanomachy.
At the end of the war, Zeus took Kronos' scythe and cut him into pieces, throwing his remains into Tartarus.
He then became the king of gods.
The supreme deity of the Greek pantheon, Zeus was universally respected and revered throughout Ancient Greece; the ancient Olympic Games were held at the site of  Olympia every four years in honor of him.
Highly temperamental, Zeus was armed with the mighty thunderbolt, said to be the most powerful weapon among the gods.
Zeus was married to his sister, Hera, though he was infamous for his infidelity, taking on an almost innumerable amount of lovers and consorts, both mortal and divine including Karis and Hercules' mother.
Zeus was known for throwing thunderbolts at people.
The god of honor and justice, Zeus was the one who both established and enforced law, and served as the standard for kings to follow, ensuring they did not abuse the power of their position.
His symbols were the thunderbolt, a sceptre, an oak tree, and the eagle and bull were his sacred animals.
His Roman equivalent is Jupiter.
Zeus was the strongest Greek god, the ruler of all gods.
He also had a lot of children that he was not supposed to have.

Jupiter - Roman mythology version of Zeus
Indra - Hindu mythology version of Zeus
Evolutionary biology is a subfield of biology that studies how species start and change over time; or in other words, how species evolve.
Someone who studies evolutionary biology is known as an evolutionary biologist.
Evolutionary biology became an academic subject  as a result of the modern evolutionary synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s.
It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that universities had departments which used the term evolutionary biology in their titles.
As a result of the rapid growth of molecular and cell biology, many universities have split their biology departments into molecular and cell biology-style departments and ecology and evolutionary biology-style departments.
These have absorbed older departments such as paleontology, zoology, botany and the like.

Mozilla Firefox (branded as Firefox Quantum or simply known as Firefox) is a free and open source web browser which is made by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.
It works on common operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.
With Firefox, browsing features can be added or removed and users can customize Firefox to fit their needs.
This was done to make Firefox safe and simple to use.
On most operating systems, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to load web pages, which uses up-to-date web standards.
However, Firefox for iOS, which was released in late 2015, does not use Gecko due to Apple's restrictions which only allow third-party web browsers to use the WebKit-based layout engine that is built into iOS.
Firefox was created in 2002, under the name "Phoenix" by the Mozilla community members who wanted a standalone browser rather than a bundle of different Mozilla applications.
Even in its beta phase, Firefox proved to be popular with its testers and was praised for its speed, security, and add-ons compared to Microsoft's then-popular Internet Explorer 6.
Firefox was released in November 2004 and was highly successful with 60 million downloads within nine months, marking the first time that Internet Explorer's popularity was being challenged.
Firefox is considered the spiritual successor of Netscape Navigator since the Mozilla community was created by Netscape in 1998.
Firefox 3.0, while it was being made, was given the name Gran Paradiso.
Like other Firefox development names, "Gran Paradiso" is an actual place; in this case, it is the second-highest mountain group in the Graian Alps.
NetApplications says that the use of Firefox 3 had been going up quickly to a usage share of 23.75% in September 2009.
They believe that this means that Firefox 3 is stable and that users are making it their main browser.
Guinness World record
The date for the launch of Firefox 3 was June 17, 2008, named "Download Day 2008."
Firefox was aiming to set the record for most Firefox downloads in 24 hours.
As of June 18, 2008, more than 6.88 million people have downloaded Firefox 3.
Many people tried going to the Mozilla website on June 17, making it unavailable for at least a few hours.
The site was not updated for the download of Firefox 3 until 12:00 PDT. "
Download Day" ended at 11:16 AM PDT June 18.
Firefox 3 has been downloaded 28,340,281 different times.
Extensions let a user add new things to the browser or change how it does something.
They are created by other users.
Because extensions are able to access all parts of the computer that Firefox can, extensions that can harm a computer could be made.
However,the extension can only change system settings if you have administrator privileges.
Firefox also has themes or skinning which change the way the browser looks to the user.
Some themes that can make Firefox look like other browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Netscape.
Tabbed browsing is a feature used in the browser where many webpages can be opened in one window, with labeled tabs on top to select the webpage.
To make a new empty tab, type control-T.
There is a search box in Firefox that can be seen in the top right corner of the window.
When someone using Mozilla Firefox types something in the search box and presses enter, the browser will search the Internet using a search engine like Google or Yahoo!.
There are "search suggestions" in Firefox 2.
When words are typed in the search box, suggested words will appear.
For example, if "wiki" is typed, the browser will suggest "Wikipedia".
Firefox can use spell checking, if a word is typed badly into a text box, like the one where someone changes a Wikipedia page, the program will underline the word that is spelled wrong with a red line.
If you scroll over that word and right click, Mozilla Firefox will list words which use the right spelling.
For example: the wrong word "chekc" will have "check" as a suggestion.
Global usage
Firefox's international usage grew to 32% by the end of 2009.
After the release of Google Chrome, Firefox's popularity began to decline. ,
Firefox has between 9% and 16% of worldwide usage as a desktop browser, making it the second most-popular web browser.
Firefox continues to be the most popular browser in Cuba, Eritrea, and Germany, with 85.93%, 79.39%, and 38.36% of the market share, respectively.
According to Mozilla, there were 170 million Firefox users around the world in December 2017.
With Internet Explorer declining, Firefox has reached second place in April 2018 as a desktop browser, behind Google Chrome.
Mozilla Firefox has been given a number of awards by many organizations.
These awards include:
