Johnny Depp, Demented Sleepwalker?

There are a few things that could be happening in this photo of Johnny Depp.
He could have been sleepwalking and wandered into the street in these great looking pajamas. Nope. He's wearing shoes. That would mean he sleeps in his shoes. Not likely.
Maybe this is the new fashion. Walking the streets in your pajamas. It's possible. He lives in France. French fashion is notoriously unpredictable and often misses the mark.
He could possibly be filming his new film "The Tourist" on the streets of Venice, Italy.
Um, I think I'm going to go with the movie thing.
Unless Johnny Depp has just lost his mind.

Pi Day

The whole world uses the mathematical term Pi! Heck, on Friday in school I had fun doing something called Pi Day and I thought my teacher just made it up as an activity. Apparently it's real! Pi Day is a holiday to celebrate the mathematical term called Pi. It looks like this π.

Pi Day is celebrated on 3/14 - today! It's on 3/14 for two reasons. The first is because the numerical digits of Pi is 3.14 and the second is that 3/14 is Albert Einstein's birthday. What an amazing coincidence! And a great reason to have a mathematical celebration.

There is another holiday about Pi called Pi Approximation Day. It is celebrated on July 22, because of the Ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes. His first approximation of Pi was 22/7. Later, Archimedes was able to calculate a much-better approximation of Pi.

"The Book Police"

WOW! The book police are real!

Poor Aaron Henson was driving his car down the street minding his own business when he saw flashing lights from a cop car in his rear view mirror. He pulled over thinking he was getting a speeding ticket until he found out he was getting arrested for on overdue DVD! He thought the cop was kidding him! (And so did I when I read this!)

Aaron then spent the next EIGHT grueling hours in a county jail! He was fingerprinted, photographed, and booked. All for an overdue DVD. Wow! The cops in this town scare me. I wonder what you get for littering. A life sentence?

When Aaron's father came to bail him out, he couldn't believe it either. His mother's reaction was amazement too. "There's no such thing as the book police," she stated, dazed. Apparently, there is!

So if you live in Littleton, Colorado, watch out. Those flashing lights in your rear view mirror could be coming for you.

So here's my ode to the patrons of the Littleton-Bemis Public Library:

You better watch your butt

Return those books too!

Don't want the book po-po on YOU!

Yeah, baby! I'm such a poet!

Spoon Reflections

For some wierd reason, people around the world are now asking, "Why is my reflection upside down on the top side of a spoon? "

I looked further into it and found out that the spoon acts as a concave mirror. This means when an object is beyond the length of focus on a concave mirror the image is reduced in size and inverted. So when you look into a spoon, that's what you see. Try it! Look at your reflection on the top side of a spoon, it's upside down, then look at it on the bottom side and you're right side up!

A Job That Pays Outside!

The idea of me sitting inside a fluorescent-lit office all day in the future drives me crazy! But I found out some good news! There ARE careers out there that let you go out and breathe fresh air!!! A Landscape Architect is one of these jobs. I have a little green thumb if I may say so myself. If you do too, landscape architecture might be the field for you. Landscape architects have the fun job of creating outside spaces that are functional, attractive, and fit in with the natural surroundings. I'm definitely looking into this!

If you're creative and love the outdoors, this career is a blessing for you too! You can spend your time either designing and planning, or working at the outdoor site. I guess I am still going to be able to have fun when I'm an adult!

Goalie Scores Own Goal

HAHAHAHA!! This video made me laugh so hard. Soccer players, or footballers as they call it over in Europe, are always finding new ways to score on their own team. But this might be the first time overpowering winds are to blame for scoring a goal!

This video caught my eye because of the way the goalie, with an assist from the wind, scored in his own goal. I also found this funny because something similar happened to me at a birthday party! I kicked the ball from my end of the field as a goalie and it hit my friend's back on my team and rebounded off his back and into the goal again!

Bagged Salads - Not So Clean

Not that I eat bagged salads anyway, but maybe YOU should stop the next time you're about to buy one at the store. People think they're eating so healthy when they eat salad, and yes, salads are healthy, but not with all the salad dressing people slather over it! It's a proven fact that with all the salad dressing you put on a salad, a normal meal would have just been healthier.

Now, I've found out something even scarier about salads! I found out that packaged salads are not nearly as clean as their "PRE-WASHED" and "TRIPLE WASHED" labels say they are. Bleh, bleh bleh!!! Even if I did eat salad, I would have stopped! Don't want to get sick! Guess I better go warn my mom. She LOVES salad!
