Little known facts that are really important

1. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. - (Hardly seems worth it.)
2. If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. - (Now that's more like it!)
3. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. - (WOW!)
4. A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
5. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour (Don't try this at home...)
6. The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Hmmm... so guys- aren't you glad you are no praying mantis??!!!)
7. The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
8. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
9. Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (Hmm... somethings your science teacher wont teach you...don't go telling your mother now..)
10. Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.)
11. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm......)
    
12. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?So Andrew - switch)
13. Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (okay, so that would be a good thing)
14. A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?and you say finding a job is difficult!!! what about Dog's poo?)
15. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. ( I know some people like that.)
16. Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.HAHAHA)
17. Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
    

Interesting facts eh...so go make a difference.... cheers

Meeting up at an unusual time of 9am was a drag for many of those who came but I pray that it had been worth its while - at least the smile on the photos below do imply that at least we had fun!

Friendships Not Labeled.

Arlow Arlow!!

Whoa..It's been sometime I've came here and...quietnya. Haha!! *Where's everybody?*

Anyway, today was the first day I went to youth ever since it started..except the first one at the cafe. =P And, me think that today's session was pretty good. =) Thanks Uncle Michael.. Here are some friendship poems.

#1: Kindda summarises the list we had today. =)

You are friendly, kind and caring

Sensitive, loyal and understanding

Humorous, fun, secure and true

Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise

Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes

Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright

Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others

Generous, charming, but not one that smothers

Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game

But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold

Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old

You'll always be there, I know that is true

I'll always be here... always for you.

- Angela Lee Hillsley -

#2: The best that I found. =)

Sometimes in life,

you find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life

just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh

until you can't stop;

Someone who makes you believe

that there really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you

that there really is an unlocked door

just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

When you're down,

and the world seems dark and empty,

Your forever friend lifts you up in spirit

and makes that dark and empty world

suddenly seem bright and full.

Your forever friend gets you through

the hard times, the sad times,

and the confused times.

If you turn and walk away,

your forever friend follows.

If you lose your way

your forever friend guides you

and cheers you on.

Your forever friend holds your hand

and tells you that

everything is going to be okay.

And if you find such a friend,

you feel happy and complete,

because you need not worry.

You have a forever friend for life,

and forever has no end.

-Suzin Polish Schwartz or LaurieAnn Kelly-

Cheers,

Eunice!! =)
