Friday Facts are BACK...

...and they're better than ever!

After a long break[which I regret taking] from doing Friday Facts, I'm restarting Friday Facts. In addition to ten facts, I will also start letting whoever comes to my blog take a pole to vote for the subject of the first two facts in next week's Friday Facts. I will also post a Guinness world record.
Here are ten Friday facts and a Guinness world record!
1. If you never cut your hair, it could grow more than 30 feet in your life time- long enough to reach from a third story window to the ground.
2. In outer space, liquids become sphere-shaped.
3. Dolphins can hear sounds underwater that are 15 miles away.
4.Baby rattle snakes are born without rattles.
5. Messages from your brain travel along your nerves at 200 miles per hour.
6. If you traveled at the speed of light, you could reach Pluto in just 4 hours.
7.The first bubble gum, made in 1906, was called"Blibber-Blubber.'
8. The world's largest pizza was 122 feet, 8 inches across and weighed 26,883 pounds, as much as 2 male African elephants.
9. About 10,000 of the cells in your body could fit on the head of a pin.
10. Some salamanders can regrow their tail, legs, and even parts of their eyes.
BIG BUNNY!
How long is Amy the rabbit? She's so big- 2 feet, 8 inches from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail- that she sleeps in a dog kennel. Each day the longest rabbit on record eats a bowl of rabbit food, 2 apples, several carrots, hay, and half a cabbage. She may have a big appetite, but she's a picky eater. Amy won't eat her carrots unless the stems are still attached.

Chloe


My favorite dog...
Chloe.
Me and Chloe go way back. We got her when I was about four years old, and we've been BFs[best friends] ever since.
Chloe is a crazy, energetic, and loving dog.
When I was about five years old, I taught her a trick called "cowgirl'. Here's how it works: I bend over till I'm on all fours, then say,"Cowgirl!" then Chloe will go through my legs.
I love you,
Chloe!

In memory of Ariel

My sister Rachel's old hermit crab Ariel died anything but a peaceful death. Ariel had molted a few days before her death and became very vunerable. She survived a couple of nights. On the night of her death, Thorin came over and flipped over Ariel's shell and began tearing off her legs. When I woke up around 6:30am Friday, April 3rd, I rushed downstairs to see if Ariel was ok. I was so shocked to see her shell opening facing the sky and her legless body. I rushed to wake mom up so she could see what had happened. As I was about to tell her I nearly burst into tears because I was so sad about Ariel's death. I love working in the crab cage but I did not want to handle Ariel's remains. We were going to the dentist that morning and after the dentist I was going to boil Ariel's old shell to get rid of any germs and sediment that was left in her shell. But when we got home with Crabby, Hermie and Fluffy, Thorin had already moved into Ariel's old shell. Below you can see a picture of Ariel's remains.
