Holy Toenails!

It Caught On In A Flash!
I went to a Haunted House. They didn't seem to have a front door which was a bit odd, but I managed to fly down the chimney, as you do. I found a monster party on the second floor, so naturally I joined in. Until one monster started beating up other monsters and there was this whole massive fight going on. So I summoned a few more monsters like the devil and a yeti to enjoy the fun. Cthulu behaved himself, he was a good little Cthulu. It was a bit chaotic, but fun to watch. It was kind of like watching something at the House of Commons.
I found a task in the attic of the manor to release trapped ghosts from our world, and send them on to the next. I had to give each of them three objects they wanted so they could make them all ghosty and turn the ghosts into floating sheets. There was a  priest on the ground floor who wanted holy relics. I gave him a crucifix, but I wanted to give him something unique, something he could really admire. Seeing as Jesus isn't an acceptable word in Scribblenauts, I went for God instead. And thus I presented him with God's toenail.
AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED!
Okay, so it may not have been accurate (I doubt all of God's toenails would have halos over them, that'd just be uncomfortable) but he was certainly happy with it.
And then I decided to go the whole hog and throw in the big man himself.
*Summons God.*
What does this make me then? The summoner of Gods? Is that like a Super-God, am I a whole new breed of God?
Because that is what this game does. It gives you power. Power beyond belief! Look, I can even give things the adjective "nonexistent." I literally have the Death Note. Only I can create stuff too!
THE POWER! *Insert Evil Laugh Here*

The Chosen One

I thought I'd stop by at a restaurant on my way to school. Did a few shifts, helped the chef make a pizza for a gamer. It asked me for a special ingredient, so I...um...put a rabbit in the oven?
Rabbit Speciale
Well the gamer didn't seem to mind anyway. Thought he doesn't look very cooked... Next I made a phoenix which decided to roast itself, and then I made a motorbike - (your average restaurant should make these things, request something next time you go). 
Next, I figured I would help out on the floor, as they seemed to be a bit understaffed. For some reason, when a customer asked me to feed him something to help him grow, he wasn't impressed by fertiliser. So I gave him a carrot instead and that shut him up. 
I had fun with the cannibal too. So many choices! Deciding whether to be totally sadistic and give him a baby, or be a nice person and give him a woman. I settled on a nice butch macho man.
It Should Work, Damnit!

Upstairs in the restaurant, a grandmother had somehow forgotten to put something in the gift box for her granddaughter's birthday, but had remembered to bring the actual, very light, box with them. 
How the...
Anyway, she asked me to create something suitable. I thought an amoeba would be a great present, so I put the little fella in there. 
The girl didn't like it.
Ungrateful little...
So I continued my journey to the school, and somehow found myself conducting mad Science experiments... A giant amoeba was given a body and from nowhere grew wings... My next task was to integrate him successfully into society, so I got him a Sociologist.
He ATE him.
Somehow, this was acceptable. I had to give this...thing a name. What better than The Chosen One. The one who will end all civilisation by eating it, in a socially acceptable manner. FEAR HIM!
Bow Before Him.

How To Create The Perfect Date

Hoovering Water
After giving a cleaner electronic equipment to mop up puddles, summoning a bird with a tiara almost as big as itself, and giving a wannabe rock star a triangle to play in concert, I came across a boy who wanted to create the perfect date.
He asked for something to wear, and like a Genie, I gave him a tuxedo. Said tuxedo transformed into something else, which I was not happy about. Then he asked for some suitable transport to pick his date up. And the all-powerful Genie decided he would need a skateboard. And for his
An "Attractive" Bird
third wish, he asked for something to give his woman. I gave him what looked like a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk without the wrapper, and he seemed happy enough. 
Turns out his date was a glamour model. But apparently she has cheap taste.
For his fourth wish (I was currently on a buy three wishes get a fourth for free sale), he asked for something romantic, to set the tone. I tried to have a Mexican band play for them, but apparently I couldn't. +Dogknight Ington suggested I give them a nice cuddly Cthulu... so I did. Apparently he wasn't romantic enough. So I created a band, and it gave me the Village People. That wasn't romantic either... but it certainly gave Cthulu some fun.
He obliterated one member, the policeman started riding him, and everyone else ran in terror. So I hired another round of YMCA, and this was the result.
A Very Successful First Date
So after I got bored, I gave them a violinist. This passed their romantic test and they didn't mind when Cthulu instantly scared her away. And clearly this date was a massive success, because she said yes when he proposed to her. Score!

Oh Hai!

So I bought Scribblenauts yesterday, and already I'm addicted. The amount of creativity and freedom you have is astonishing. You can change the colours of objects, ride dinosaurs, fire bazookas and even summon Cthulu! So I thought I'd share some of the things I have done with this game.
The Arctic Heist
For instance, when they gave me the challenge The Arctic Heist in the museum, I was told to help the penguin steal the diamond without being caught by the security guard or camera. I didn't think to just give the penguin the adjective "invisible," but instead decided to give the security guard the adjective "blind." To my surprise, it worked. 
There are many different missions in this game - all optional - but they're all quite similar: "I need this, I want this"... but you have so much fun creating things you don't care. It's also fun trying to find out what will actually work. For example, when a boy asked me for something to scare away a bully for him, obviously my first thought was samurai sword. And it worked. 

No Harm Done... Right?
Things don't always work though, like when I tried to throw a whale at a carnival game. Apparently you can't lift a whale, you can only ride it. 
So over the course of my gameplay, I shall take screenshots of things I deem to be hilarious and you guys can look at it and think me insane.
