So, I'm bored, and I'll post five random facts my research uncovered.Some of them I might have recently discovered, others I might have known for years. Just depends.
1. In Hinduism, people love cows so much, they let them wander the streets. They're considered holy. This is because Hindus believe in reincarnation, being born into another life after you die, and that some people are reborn into animals, like cows. And rats, and insects. If you're lucky, you get reborn into a higher social class.
2. Honey isn't just used for culinary purposes. It can be used on burns, rashes, sore throats, AND Ancient Egyptians used it for embalming the dead.
3. If a person in a coma is unidentified, then hospitals are still required to take care of them, until they can be. They might be assigned a court appointed guardian, who wouldn't pull the plug unless it could be proven that they wouldn't live for long and they were in pain.
4. Justice translates to "Iustitia" in Latin.
5. Color therapy can help cure depression in some people. Not everyone, but some.
I've started reading Mirrorscape now. I'm swamped with schoolwork, and it'll probably be awhile until I post anything again. I'll try, though. And now, a quote:
"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying." -Oscar Wilde

My Life is Average
So, it's September now. I'll be going back to school next week, and to take my mind off stuff, I'm posting some MLIA. It's a website, and if you don't know what it stands for, look at the title of this post again.
1. Today, I joined the yahoo vs google war. I typed in "Edward Cullen is a..." in both. On yahoo, I got "Edward Cullen is dead." On google, I got "Edward Cullen is an abusive fairy." I think it's quite clear who the winner is. MLIA
2. Today I was having a random conversation with Cleverbot, when it all of a sudden started talking a language I didn´t understand. According to Google translate Cleverbot was talking gibberish in Croatian. I answered that I didn´t know Croatian. Cleverbot´s answer? "Polar bear language, man. Polar bear." MLIA
3. A few days ago, I was bored during math class and drew a few ninjas in my notebook. Today, I went to show them to a friend, and I couldn't find the pages I'd drawn them on. Well played ninjas, well played. MLIA
4. Today was the first day of school. As I got my new French textbook, I opened it up to find that it had previously been owned by Bellatrix Lestrange. French class definitely just got a little bit cooler. MLIA.
5. Today on facebook, I saw a page called "Unicorns are real, they're just fat and gray and we call them rhinos."
6. Today, while opening a bag of M&Ms I found an red heart shaped one. I always knew candy loved me just as much as I loved it. Mlia.
7. Today, my mom and I were driving home from my martial arts class and at a stop light I looked over at the car next to us. Instead of seeing the guy texting or on the phone, I saw him brushing his teeth. MLIA
8. Today in science, the boy next to me was writing OK in rows down his paper. Remembering reading this on an earlier submission to MLIA I said, "Stick figure army?" and he replied, "Ninjas." if you're reading this, you're awesome. MLIA.
9. Today, I learned how to say Hogwarts in spanish. Win. MLIA
10. Today, the girl I was babysitting said "I don't like Disney princesses. I like real princesses like in Narnia and Pirates of the Caribbean. Harry Potter's cool too.". This girl is going places. HerLIA.
Of all of these, my favorite is number one. Or possibly number five. :D I like this website. Can you tell?
Okay, my ending quote for the day (or night, as it's almost 10:00 pm):
