Gappie Hour =)

I've been chomping down food like a blender these past few days. Now that I'm back home, my appetite has swelled up to twice its original capacity.Guess I missed amma's cooking. Or maybe it's just my system's way of telling me that I've got to gain weight. Either way.. who cares? Food is elementary. Just like air. Now, when we breathe, is it wrong to inhale more than what we're suppose to inhale? How much are we suppose to inhale anyway? Does it matter? Now that's something worth pondering about, don't you think so?

So as I ramble about things not worth rambling about, I came across a few interesting facts that might be useful to some people I know ;) Did you know that :

-Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete?

-Coca- cola would be green if colouring weren't added to it?

-Slugs have four noses?

-Beetles taste like apples, wasps like pine nuts and worms like fried bacon?

-In 1386, a pig in France was executed by public hanging for the murder of a child?
( so what about those who loved bacons huh?Gosh seriously.. aren't we a bunch of funny people)

-Most lipsticks contain fish scales?

-The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth is called Arachibutyrophobia?

- a group of crows is called a murder?


Well. Neither do I. Except for the part about the lipstick. I've heard of that before but I thought it would be nice to include that too. I mean, everyone is rushing to find out who LiLo is going out with, when JT would be coming down to have a concert and a million other things about someone who doesn't even care what your first name is but very few take notice of how strong their thigh bones are. Sad. Sorry for being a party-pooper. But that's reality isn't it?

I should really take some time to learn things that actually mean something to me. Things like my dog and why he goes berserk everytime the recycling guy does his 'surat khabar lama' routine, the shrubs at the back of my house, the stuffs that go into iko biscuits ( I love them ;) ) and well, you get the hint.

I know that I won't regret it.

Toodles,
Gappie
