Just Some Thoughts

I feel bad for Bee, my host. She has been so sick most of her life and nobody can figure out what is wrong with us. It has been very quiet today in the Dome. Lor and I have been making puzzles for the littles and Tayela is preparing for our meeting later today. It has been quiet, I think, for Bee because it has been a pretty tough day for her.

My hopes for this weekend are high, so we can have fun with our friend.

Yelling for Coffee

If you yelled for over 8 and a half years, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

I don't personally like coffee or drink coffee, but this is pretty damn cool. I bet the same would work for a cup of hot cocoa as well.

Quicksand

The more a person struggles to get out of quicksand the faster they will sink. Staying still, and being calm, will actually make the body float in the quicksand because the body is less dense than the quicksand is.

As a young child, I had this ridiculous fear of dying in quicksand. Any movie that had quicksand in it have me nightmares for months. If only somebody had told me this fact sooner…

"Bang Head Here"

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.




I don't advise doing this, but hey! Whatever works...

4 year olds

The average four year-old child asks over four hundred questions a day.

Boy ain't this true! My little niece drills me every time I see her and I swear I only answer about 50 of her questions...

40

The number forty is the only number that, in the English language, has all of its letters in alphabetical order.

I am a freak about putting things alphabetically. My books, movies, shoes (by brand), clothes (by brand), and pretty much everything else I own has been placed alphabetically. Because most people do not think like that, I am able to tell when someone has touched or "messed with" something of mine because it won't be placed back in its alphabetical spot. Ironically, 40 is my favorite number and also my lucky number - and subconsciously I think I chose 40 because it is the only number that all of its letters are in alphabetical order.

Mules

The United States has never lost a war in which mules were used.

For all of you Brian Regan fans, this reminds me of his routine on mules.

Did the U.S. use mules to cause the other countries to laugh to death?
