I’m sort of thinking of running to the store to pick up a pint of that Godiva Belgian Dark Chocolate Ice Cream. mmmmmmm. . . only 2000 calories. ---

Actually, the “calorie” used in nutrition is much bigger than the calorie in science measurements. ---

Hips over waist = .7. According to some scienists who study these things the closer a women’s measurements are to .7 after being put into that equation the more likely it is that she is considered attractive. I recently sat down with a stack of old Voluptuous and Score magazines and a calculator and found that the majority of the women’s were indeed within .1 of .7. A notable exception is Sylvia Panda with a ratio of 1.1. She’s still has a great rear, though. ---

Why is it so rare for pandas to breed in captivity? I have no idea, but I do know that pandas are not bears at all but are actually far more closely related to raccoons. They eat bamboo and are very cute but going extinct, sadly.☹ ---

I have no idea why they have such a problem with it. Breeding in captivity sounds like a great time to me. E-mail if interested, serious offers only. 😃 Also, “Bred in Captivity” would make a great band name. ---

There are several different types of Dragons, you know. I don’t know how to tell them apart, at all, I just know there are Fire, and Water dragons, American, and Japanese. There are probably more, and there are ways to tell them abart, but I don’t know. There is a girl that I go to school with that knows everything there is to know about dragons, and how to tell them apart. She also knows everything about Asia. She also thinks she is a good srtist, but she kinda sucks a lot. ---
