I Can't Think of a Better Title

Aiks!! Didn't update my blog these few days because I've been stuck in front of the TV watching "LOST". Its a great series!!! Its about the survivors of a terrible plane crash, who find themselves stranded on a tropical island with seemingly little chance of a rescue. But everything is not as it seems, as the island offers potential danger in the form of a large, mysterious creaturem and evidence is found that plane crash may not have been an accident.

Yeahhh...I'm addicted to it!!!!!

Anyways, Biology class yesterday was pretty interesting. We learnt about species that cross-breed with another type of species. Eventhough their off-springs are infertile, but they come up with pretty creative names for the anyway.

Ok, a few examples :

Horse + Donkey = Mule (Sounds familiar??)

Lion + Tiger = Liger!!!!

Whale + Dolphin = Yup!!!! You guessed it!!! A WOLPHIN!!!!

And the best of all...

Here's something more interesting:

In the 1500s

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying . It's raining cats and dogs

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

(That one is really Zhar Dou looo... Nothing to say..)

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell. or was considered a ...dead ringer..

( 1 out of 25!!!! Walao...thats quite a high chance of you waking up in a coffin one day..)

Yup, interesting eh?????

Whoever said history was boring??
