Ok, let's see here...
Fleas are essential to the health of armadillos and hedgehogs; they provide necessary stimulation of the skin. Deloused armadillos and hedgehogs will die.
The world's termites outweigh the world's humans 10 to 1.
When the Black Death swept across England one theory was that cats caused the plague. Thousands were slaughtered. Ironically, those that kept their cats were less affected, because they kept their houses clear of the real culprits, rats.
Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was- well, you get the picture!
Duelling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.
10 percent of the Russian government's income comes from the sale of vodka.
The chances of your dying on the trip to buy your lottery ticket is greater than your chance of winning.
Rats can't throw-up.
On that note, Take a pie pan, fill it with coke & leave it on the floor. If a mouse or rat drinks it, they will eventually explode because they cannot burp.
The poison-arrow frog has enough poison to kill about 2,200 people
If Brooklyn, New York became independent of New York City, it would be the third largest city in the United States, after the remainder of New York and Los Angeles.
Cool, huh?

I learned that "inflagration" is among the best words ever, up there with "Kirby" and "perambulation".
"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

That my friend Kaitlin is going to be able to come to my birthday party and I'm going to finally meet her in real life! (My friend Zach knows her in real life so I know she's not a 40-year-old truck driver or something)
That we still have that Monster Jam monster truck game on our computer.

Um, that you shouldn't try to do your math, fold clothes, watch a movie, & eat soup at the same time. It could have disasterous results.

Sometimes life stnks
when it rains, it pours (ok so I already knew that, but I'm remembering it agian)
That Heaven can't come soon enough
even if you don't know someone super well, their death will still affect you. Thank you Father that he loved you.
THat God has a plan in this even though I don't know what it is.
That sunday is NOT going to be a fun day.
That two young beleiver's deaths by cancer in as many weeks may unite or divide my youth group, (though neither went to our church, they were both known by many there)
That God WILL give me the strength for tomorrow
That this is why He has been preparing me to encourage others
THis is why I have been reminded so often of 2 Corinthians 1 so I can encourage others in their hurt
That any and all prayers would be wonderful
That you guys are awesome
that hugs, chocolate, encouragement, prayers and tears are all really really good for situations like these

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man would have to seek Him to find her.
