Ha ha ha, look at the poll! So far there are equal cat\dog lovers!
I know!
For today I have only one question...share a fun fact! And make it a new one, not one of the oldies because I really am getting tired of those...Okay here's mine. Did you know that there once was a law that chickens couldn't cross a road? For real!
Alright, I've got more! 1. A sea turtle can weigh as much as a water buffalo. 2. Oscar the Grouch was originally orange. 3. The light you see from stars is actually light that left the star millions of years ago- that's how long it takes to reach the Earth. 4. You see color differently than the person next to you. 5. Scientists have created pieces of white dwarf stars in a lab. 6. Chromophobia is the extreme fear of colors. 7. In Connecticut, a pickle has to bounce in order to be called a pickle. 8. By law, you cannot purposely harm Bigfoot in Skamania County, Washington. 9. Butterflies can see more colors than humans can. 10. Red and yellow make you feel hungry and happy, which is why fast-food chains use these colors most. 11. According to one study, six-year-olds laugh about 300 times per day- adults less than 100. 12. The saliva you produce in one lifetime could fill nearly 30,000 water bottles. 13. Some people can hear their eyeballs moving.
AHHHH WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THESE? Also number 13 must drive people insane. And 11? I guess I'm six :) and 3 is so cool! So that means starts are disappearing all the time, but they are still there!
I know, right? So confusing and cool and amazing! I feel like I usually laugh MORE than 300 times a day!
The only letter that does not appear in any U.S state is Q!!!!
Hmm, nice!
A giant squids eyeball can be the size of your head.
Hey, did YOU know that food passes through the giant squid's brain on the way to it's stomach? Pretty weird!
Woah, duuude! Could you imagine if WE had eyeballs that big!!!?!!!
Crazy! Now imagine if you came face to face with one in the deep sea.... --BKS
That's cool!
In the U.S state of Arizona, you can be sentenced to 25 years in prison for cutting down a cactus! 🌵🌵🌵
Wow, who knew? There's so many, I feel like that doesn't make much sense. Although, there might be so many because of that law.
And THAT'S why you shouldn't cut down a cactus, kids! Really though, why? There are some mighty strange laws out there. --BKS
Ok then, did you know that the line "Elementary my dear Watson" was never said?
Whaaaat???? That's INSANE!!! That's the only line I know and it isn't even real??? --BKS
I just said it!
In some state, I don't remember which, there is a law that you can't carry a violin in a paper bag. There's also a law somewhere that you can't put an ice cream cone in your back pocket.
XD I would like to see someone try and fit a violin in a bag. Or an ice cream cone in their pocket, it would drip everywhere.... --BKS
Hahaha, yeah. Violins can actually be pretty small though. I used to play.
I wish I could play! My parents got me a flute instead.
The flute's cool!
Rats can last longer without water than camels can! ->FUN FACT<- --BKS
Wow, I never knew that! It would be crazy to last as long as either without water!
I was away for some time so what did I miss?
Miss Dogo books! I can't wait to read your book! Are you going to publish it ?
Yes! But it probably wont be finished for 4-5 years, I have only been designing the title lol
