How nice are we...

Have you ever walked down the hallway and saw a confrontation between two people, and you know that it won't end well? If it ever happens to you watch what happens. It seems like people just come from no where and circle around the two people in hopes that a fight will break out. My question is why? Are you that desperate to be entertained that you will encourage two people you probablly don't even know to beat the crap out of eachother. Were not animals. Ok i have to admit that i have seen a couple of fights in my day, but i don't go around school looking for one. And the thing i think is halarious is when that big crowd forms and other kids see it and join it in hopes to see whats going on. Get real people im sure you wouldn't want the whole school in your personal business.

Blue Ringed Octopus

This week in my marine science class we are doing a project on any sea animal. I got the pleasure of researching the Blue Ringed Octopus. Not a choice a would have made but my partner made it for us, and I'm happy to say that it was a good choice. I didn't know much about this animal, only that it had eight tentacles, and this not some thing to be proud of due to the fact that any kindergartener would know that. It turns out that there is alot more to thisanimal than meets the eye. I learnedsome very interesting facts over the last week and i would like to share them with you, your welcome.

  • The blue ringed octopus is born the size of a pea, and only grows to be a size of a golf ball, and by looking at the pictures online i would have never guessed that look...
  • Pretty colors right, wrong! By showing its blue ring that is a sign that it is pissed off. This is probably the last this that you will see if your close enough to see it.
  • Despite its small size this little guy really packs a punch. It is poisonous, in fact it is one of the most deadly creatures in the sea, huh. With one bite it can kill a grown human within minutes. There is no know antidote for venom the only thing that can save you is hours of heart massage. So don't get bite.
  • Blue Ring's are native to Pacific Ocean tide pools ranging from parts of Japan to Australia
  • They mostly feed on crabs, shrimp, and some small fish if they catch them.
  • Females usually give birth to about 50 eggs,and she nest them under her arm until there born. They dont eat the whole time that there waiting for them to hatch and once they do they females die, of course.
  • And the most interesting fact i think that i learned was they have 3 hearts, how do they fit 3 hearts in that tiny body.

Wild Thing

Why do some people think that it is ok to have wild animals as pets. I know there cute and all but really. There called "wild animals" for a reason. Just because someone has money doesn't mean that there allowed to mess with nature. I have a friend that lives in sunshine ranches, and her neighbor owns two tigers. Not one but two. Some times when im over there we can hear them roar and i have to admit i was close to wetting my pants. What happens if one day they escape there cage and are just wandering the streets. No big deal whats the worst that can happen. Ahh i don't know maybe eat a few people!!! Why cant people just be happy with dogs or cats you know.

Burn Baby Burn

Last weekend when it was really cold me and family went to a bonfire at a friends house. It was fun all our friends and family, great food, everyone was having a great time. Well around nine o'clock we are gathered around the fire pit and the guys are making fire. This is when i realized that everyone is truly fascinated by fire. Once it was going strong everyone just sat down and stared at it. I don't know what it is but it is engrossing. I could just stare at fire all day, but you know some people want to do more than just stare.

Always always always it is the men who start poking and playing around with fire. Whether it's throw a glass bottle in to watch it shatter, or set a set something on fire to make a torch. i observed this when i was at my bon fire. The guys would get really close to it and start throwing random objects in, while the girls just rolled there eye's. Smart move ladys because the guys would always find a way to get hurt for being idiots. Despite everything else everyone had a good time and that fire was great in the cold weather.
