Poem.

So I am seriously bored so I decided to write a story poem to entertain myself.
Here it goes!

So it is just a normal day, with loads of time for laugh and play.
But somehow I feel sort of down, there is something missing in this town!
So I set out to find that thing, with my bow, my arrow, and my string.
I searched high and low, till I found a thing that gave me a blow!
For all around me I could hear a terrible sound, the sound of silence was around!
I gasped in horror, it had to be stopped! I had to make a ruckus till I dropped!
I marched into town, yelling the news and as I walked, they came in two's,
banging and pots and singing a song, "keep on going!" I said "It won't be long!"
Then suddenly we became still, for coming down the hill, 
was a mob whose peace was destroyed, yelled and to us who were overjoyed!
We had destroyed the silence for the while, so we headed home with a run and a smile.
That was the end till the next silent day, with loads of time for laugh and play.

Hope you enjoyed!

Random.

I decided it's time to write again and since I don't have any ideas I will write random facts, pictures, and stories! So I will start of with some weird facts.....

1. Did you know that you are actually paralysed when you sleep? It's most likely used to stop you from acting out your dream in your sleep.

2. The sentence, "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" contains every single letter of the alphabet!

3. In Vermont it was illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole!

4. In Louisiana it is illegal to wear an alligator suit!

5. Wearing headphones for more than an hour increases the bacteria in your ear by 700 times!!

Now for a few random and funny pictures!

Questions and answers.

Have you ever asked your mom or dad a question like "Who made the first marshmallow?" or "Who invented the can can?"
Well, I had a few questions like that and I decided to find the answers and I would like to show you my results........

1.Who made marshmallows?(I am hungry!)
It turns out that marshmallows were made in ancient Egypt, made from the sap of a Marsh-Mallow plant.
Marsh-Mallow plants were harvested near large bodies of water and then the juice was extracted, cooked with egg whites and sugar, then whipped into foamy meringue that hardened, creating a medicinal candy for children's soar throats. Later on they excluded the sticky gooey juice all together which is now a Marshmallow but unfortunately stopped it's use to cure people.




2. Who opened the first McDonald's?
The first McDonald's was a barbecue restaurant and was built in 1940 by Richard and Maurice McDonald.
Later, they reorganised their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles. Then Ray Kroc joined them as a franchise agent in 1955. He purchased the McDonald's chain from Richard and Maurice and spread it worldwide.

3.  Who invented the skateboard?
There are many people who were involved in inventing the skateboard. The idea mainly came from surfers who didn't just want to surf on the sea but also wanted to "surf" on land. That's when the skateboard came in. Of course, the body of the skateboard has a more specific history. The shape of the skateboard was of course almost the same shape of a surfboard just smaller and shorter. Then of course there were wheels attached at the bottom. It became very popular when people realised the fun of riding a skateboard and lots of companies opened to sell skateboards.

4. Who created the first virus?
Bob Thomas created the first virus but surprisingly not on purpose. He was associated with BBN and tried to create a way for a program to replica itself on other computers.He didn't intend to create a virus But because he did not have the program check to see if it was already installed on a PC before (again) installing itself, the program when out of control and took down their entire computer network. It is referred to as the Creeper virus.......scary!

5. Who invented jelly beans?
Well....no one can say for sure who invented jelly beans. They come in all shapes and sizes and became very popular in the 20th century when president Ronald Reagan declared them his favourite treat.
Though no one can say for sure, the earliest known reference to jelly beans is from William Schraft in 1861.


Well, I guess that's enough for now!
I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Dog!(again)

Well..I already told you about my dog, but here is the latest developments.
1. Ivan gave him a bath and used human soap on him when we weren't looking. (aaaaaaaaak!)
2. He pooped on me when I picked him up.
3. We had a tug of war to see who gets the shoe.
4. Seems to have developed a taste for toes.....
5. Decided to adopt the skateboard.

In all it has been pretty rough but we have survived (barely)

PS. That dog is not ours.

Smallest!

Well....Some of you have seen my blog on longest(I skipped shortest) so I have been inspired to do smallest!
I have searched the internet for ideas and it is amazing what you can find!
There are loads which I can come up with but I decided to share just a few today.

In favour of my sister, Nadia, who plays the violin I have looked up the worlds smallest violin made by a 66 year old man named Chen Lianzhi. 
This violin has a 1cm long body!

I also looked up the smallest roadworthy car!
It is amazingly small and I can NOT believe it is roadworthy!
It is 41 inches high and 26 inches wide.
 
Of course, someone else may have made a smaller car but if you ask me this is still a really small car!

I also love to read so I looked up the smallest book ever published.
It cost an amazing $15,000 (Don't ask why) to make and is called Teeny Ted from Turnip Town which was written by Malcom Douglas Chaplin and you would need a scanning electron microscope to read a copy!
Of course I couldn't find a picture due to it's small size. Measuring just 70 micrometres by 100 micrometres I am not surprised.

Stanislav Konenko and Anatoly Konenko have made the smallest aquarium ever!
Measuring 33mm wide by 24mm wide and 14mm deep, it is the smallest aquarium ever made.
You can actually held it in the palm of your hand.
 It contains several  miniature zebra danio fish.
Wow!
world's smallest aquarium by Anatoly Konenko








Ok, well that's it for now but be sure to check soon for more posts by me.

PS. Sorry that I couldn't get any pictures but it sort of...malfuctioned.

Dog!

We got a dog!
Yay!/AAAK!
We got the dachshund yesterday and wasn't that hard to do!
First we had to drive there(a hour and a half trip) through the heat with my brother, Ivan singing at the top of his lungs!
Then, when we got there, we couldn't decide which one to take. We finally settled on the golden brown male and had tea with the owners.
When we got into the car we realized that we didn't have a box or basket for him to sit in!
I had to hold him for a while but Ivan, who held unto the dog whenever he could started to scream and the dog started to struggle.
Me and my sister, Nadia started to panic!
We pulled over, got a box for the puppy and some snacks, and settled in the car.
Then the REAL trouble began!
We couldn't decide what name to give him and all through the 2 hour trip back, we were suggesting names and trying to come up with a perfect name.
Finally my mom suggested that we should name him something to do with music so we came up with the idea of Treble!
Like the treble clef! We decided that the name suited him and his nickname was Trouble!(Ivan insisted)
Then me and Nadia had to care for him through the night! Getting up to take him to the bathroom every hour!
We were exhausted by morning and I thought "That was a lot of work!" But when I look at the tiny bundle sleeping on the floor I think it was worth it.

 PS. I wanted to get a picture of our dog here but I couldn't.
