Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

A news website I've heard of only has good news. Here's some stories from it:

- Inspired by a "Secret Santa," an anonymous person who gave out $100 bills to people and said kind things to them, a bunch of kids at an elementary school raised $8,000 with the help of their teacher and gave it to people in their town who needed it. They helped a person who'd been out of a job for a while and a person who'd recently been diagnosed with cancer.

- After a mother and her two kids were trapped under a car, a group of teens ran in to help. They lifted the car, saving all three people. The mother had some injuries that were not considered life-threatening, and she went to the hospital and got the help she needed. Her kids only had minor injuries. The teens saved the family!

Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. Remember that ball pythons exist.

did you know that some CBers are thinking about bringing the zoodles back? :OO

also, i got a bunny and his name is napoleon bunnyparte >:D

did you know that animals with smaller bodies and faster metabolisms see in slow motion?

a flamingo's head has to be upside down when it eats! that's...crazy. can you imagine eating upside down?

a cockroach's brain is in it's body. weird.

cats will headbutt you to show you that they trust you.

finally...a group of kittens is called a kindle!

hope you're feeling better after these weird but cool animal facts <3

Ya know how otters hold hand when the float while sleeping so they stay next to each other? I just think that's freaking adorable. Also, honey bees do that too sometimes.

Okay so I'm looking up a bunch of happy/cute facts:

Apparently a newborn panda is smaller than a mouse, and Scotland has more than 400 words for snow (now I wanna ask my Scottish friend if this is actually true), rats laugh when tickled, Vikings used to give kittens as wedding presents (which actually makes a lot of sense in a way bc Freya, the one with cats, is the goddess of love and fertility, sooo. But Frigg is the goddess of marriage), Norway knighted a penguin, goats hae accents, Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest and LOST (how did that happen??), all people in your dreams are real (okay so that mean Leo Valdez and Nico di Angelo [but mostly Leo, he has been in at least 4 dreams, and Nico only 1] are real. Ha, take that, my friends who say they aren't!!), octopuses take shiny things and make gardens out of them (I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus's garden with you... /lyr), a group of porcupines is called a prickle (which makes so much sense), a baby puffin is called a puffling (so cute!!), moon flowers bloom when the moon is out (sounds gorgeous. also reminds me of Moonwatcher for some reason), ducks shake their tails when happy, there once was a cat named Mr. Stubbs who was an honorary mayor of a town in Alaska for 17 years, the national animal of Scotland is a unicorn (unicorns have got to be real then), pink dolphins = real (also reminds me of Anenome from WoF), and in Switzerland it's illegal to own only one guinea pig (if you're gonna have one, ya gotta have at least two).

Now look up this animal: the quokka. They are so cute.

Also: you are very awesome and I think you're super cool and always have interesting/funny things to say  

Hope this helps! :)

-when you go outside and look at the moon, it's the exact same moon that every other CBer has looked at. We live all over the world, but we all see the same moon... it's also the same moon that important figures of history saw, which seems kind of interesting.

-whenever I think of Muffin and Cupcake, my brain switches it to "Cuffin and Mupcake"

-the CB Valentine's Day Reunion is coming up

-now that it's January, spring is just a few months away

-also now that it's January, it's the season for drinking hot chocolate, snggling under comforters, sledding if you live in an area with snow, and watching movies

-look up the painting "Sunrise on the Matterhorn" and maybe also some Tiffany stained glass windows

-you're a really fun, witty person, as well as a stupendous artist! your dragons have to be seen to be believed. we're all glad you're on the CB <3 *sends hugs if you want them, and if not just virtual friendship*

I am watching the animated version of 101 Dalmatian's and I do not like the start. Judging women on how they look. It is very old fashioned.

Except when your foreign neighboor Keith receives eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters.

WEIRD.
