An Average Kids' Brain Weighs As Much As...

-about 700 gummy bears
-26 ipod nanos
-66% of one the crowns of the queens of England
-3823 blue morpho butterflies
-.0000008956 of a cruise ship
-a pair of gloves worn by astronauts
-an Indian flying fox

English

Have you've ever noticed that in English, they force us to read the most depressing books, Romeo and Juliet, The Crucible, Oedipus Rex to name a few. Just a little interesting insight.

An Interesting Fact

40% of the world's population gets water to live off the Himalaya's glaciers, what's going to happen when that ice melts?

Winston Churchill Quotes

Here are some of my favorite quote from Churchill:
-A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
-We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.
-A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
-A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
-A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

So there are millions more good ones out there, but I'll just leave it at here. Have a great week:)

Just a Little Something to Think About

You know those crazy people who tell you if you put your mind to something you can do anything? Well I here to tell that person to bugger off. I mean to say have you ever tried slamming a revolving door...hmmm...? It's absolutely impossible! Just something to thing about, :D, with this too, a FITNESS CENTER in AMERICA! This proves Americans are lazy.

School Started for Those of You Who Didn't Know!

Yeah...school did start, and so far my hardest/most annoying class is English. Can I pleaaaasee get a good English for ONCE! While last year's English teacher was like a grown up hippie child with her world peace talks that confused the heck outta you, this has us evaluating poems EVERYDAY!! Also she wants us to read a book before Oct. 13. Now usually I perfectly okay with reading a book before a deadline, but the teacher wants us just to read ONE SINGLE BOOK between now and then. I go through a book a day, if I'm not too overly busy. So the teacher is getting annoyed at me for reading all these books, and laughing as if I'm going to slow down (yeah right), and also believing that I'm not reading them, *sigh*. I straight out told her that I go through books fast, and yeah, I'm just rambling about a stupid teacher, sorry... :D

UFO's

Sorry....
A few weeks ago camping, miles away from anywhere, staring up at the amazingly clear, and starry night sky:
Collin: Did you know that UFO's only come out on Friday?
Me: Collin it is Friday.
Collin: Oh...
