heh
after 6 months, I decide to write another blog. writing a daily blogs is not mandatory now, so...lol of course, i dont write one everyday anymore.
grade 10 has its ups and downs. on the up side, i met so many more great ppl, from all over vancouver! on the down side, my very best friend for 3 years decided to stay the fudge away from me. on the other up side, science is now as easy as grade 5 math.
ooh i just found out the other day that the husband of ms hu (now mrs jay), mr jay, teaches science at magee. whoooot gooo sciency couples!
i shall just list some random facts that i found out recently
1. people can fart after death (k, imagine this. a friend died. you're carrying his coffin for burial along with his other friends. you walk past weeping ppl who look as if they're gonna die from misery. then suddenly, faaaaaaaaaaaaaaart, the corpse inside the coffin flatulates.)
2. there is a type of underwear designed to absorb the smell that comes with farts
3. the largest spider web has the diameter of 3 meters
4. there is a medical condition called fetus in fetus. basically, what this means is that, sometimes, when a mother is pregnant with twins, one twin consumes the other twin. usually, both twins die, but there are rare circumstances where these twins get born. the twin that was engulfed grows inside the larger twin, feeding off the larger twin's blood supply like a parasite.
5. a defect called harlequin type ichthyosis is the most grotesque-looking disease that i have ever seen. check it out.
