Totally Random

I have some totally random facts to tell you guys. I gathered them over the past couple days, and I just feel like sharing them with someone.

Uberly Random Fact #1
: The largest amount of money ever spent on a cow -- I repeat, cow -- at an auction was 1.3 million dollars. Which is really bizarre. There must have been something super special about that cow -- ooh, maybe it milked liquid gold.

...


Doubtful, but an intriguing thought, nonetheless.


Uberly Random Fact #2
: Cranberries are also known as Bounceberries.

Supposedly, they get air pockets inside them when they become ripe, which allows them to bounce. Weird.


Uberly Random Fact #3
: Whenever Pop-Eye first graced our televisions in 1931, the United States' sale of spinach increased by 33%.

Whoa. How way cool is that? That means that there must have been some really muscular men, way back in the day...


Uberly Random Fact #4
: There is such a thing as fear of teeth, and it's known as odontophobia.

Fear of teeth? How would someone with odontophobia make it through the day? I mean, how would they eat, and brush their teeth, and floss, and smile at their reflection in the mirror, and all that stuff? It's a little strange -- no offense to any odontophobists out there, of course. You're probably the coolest people ever.


But your fear is a tad on the "okaaay then" side.


Hm, so those are all of my immensely odd facts -- for now. I'll probably find some more soon. And then I'll post them for you to read. =)

Oh, and seventeen more days until MR4 comes out... I think I'm going to die. The days are dragging by agonizingly slow. Sigh.

Until next blog!

Well MR4 finally came out and I am sure im not the only person who is disappointed. I love the series the last one was fine but not as good. It is in no way bad just not as good. The speech at the end of the book was one of the most inspiring things.

P.S If u look for it u can find a copy of the speech.

Fly on. Fly free,
