GO, TURTLE!

Or tortoise. Turtle? Tortoise? Ah, tomayto tomahto. (Go turn on your TV and go watch channel W. You know: W-TV. Wha. Te. Ver.)

If anyone DOES know what's the difference between a tortoise and a turtle, please tell me, cos I feel like this is something one should know, more importantly than learning about Orang Tua(s) in Sabah and Tuai Rumah(s) in Sarawak. Directed to the form 3's reading this: If this question appears in our PMR, you should all be taking turns paying for my Nasi Lemak Wedges every lunchtime.

Anyway, I think I'll go check out what the difference is myself. Okay... Lemme see. You gotta appreciate the efficiency of Google at times like this. Aha! Here we are!

Our answer lies here. Or here. The latter is shorter, but the first one gives a lot more info, for the hardworking.

To cut a long story short, turtles usually live in water, and tortoises usually live on ground near water.

So based on what we've learned today, this guy right here is a tortoise.

So next time some one asks you: "You know what's the difference between a tortoise and a turtle?", you'll answer them, gain some rep, and thank me later by buying me a syrup in school.

So why all the turtle-talk? Well. Have you guys heard of Lonely George? The last Pinta island tortoise to grace the Galapagos Islands. And yes, that's the place were all the iguanas live. Apparently they have tortoise-eating goats, too. *shudder*

But anyways, some few years ago I read about him, he who was the last-surviving Pinta tortoise of the Geochelone elephantophus abingdoni species in the world. Here he is.

A star in his own right after being dubbed "the most endangered species in the world", he was, unfortunately, believed to be impotent. Even after all these scientists stuck him up to watching turtle porn and took him to Tortoise's Chow Kit, he was still unable to successfully produce offspring. Why?

As the article I was reading says: "Perhaps the tortoise is too old, or pehaps too disinterested, or perhaps decided that the world was going to the dogs anyway so why bring in more of his kind if their fate was to be turned into souvenirs for spanish housewives? Or maybe he doesn't even like kids."

Well, let's wrap this one up, since I should be getting back to my studies soon. All this I was reading about many years ago. But I suddenly remembered him earlier today, so I decided to check if he has finally kicked the bucket. Or bought a farm. Bit the dust, conked, cashed in his chips, croaked, expired, went belly up, went to the wall, went west, met his maker, gave up the ghost, went way of all flesh.

Whichever euphemism you want to use. Feel free. I personally went to check up on those so as to avoid you feeling uncomfortable of a certain one.

So anyways, I typed "lonely george" into Google. And WOOHOO! Read the article! Here.

So what do ya know. Next time we take a picture of the Galapagos Islands, it could turn out like this one.

(imagine all iguanas to be replaced with identicals of not-so-Lonely George, woot!)

Back To White (Back, Not Black)

Woohoo, I've fixed the brown background. There were some coding problems, but that's now the past. So we shall look to the future!

And the present.


You know what? Mr. Balan would make a great tightrope-walker. All he'd have to do is change into a punjabi. Cos then, he'd be...

BALANSINGH!

Get. It? Balancing.

If you don't get it, then you're terrible with jokes. As Li Yang is. You know I'd wasted a completely powerful joke on him? Here's how it went.

For some reason or another, our friend Mr. Lam was talking about punjabies(plural, anyone?) to Madam Mano. So anyways, he pronounced the word as "poonjabi". Fussy as she always is, Mano immediately corrected him.

"It's pun-jabi, Li Yang. Pun, not poon."

I suddenly laughed and said to Li Yang: "Yeah, no pun intended."

If you don't get it, I'd advise you to go and jump off a bridge. I hear it's really fun. With a cord around your waist, of course. I'd really love a chance to do it. Bungee jumping.

It's actually been a pretty lame week. What was that other joke? Ah, the one about our pra-PMR papers. I've told this one to Shabnam:

"Madam, what do you call the model PMR test papers that all the form 3's are doing this month?"

"Em, tak tahu. Kertas soalan PMR?"

"No, KERTAS RAMADAN PMR!"

Kertas ramalan PMR, you know? I hope you DO know. There's no point thinking of all these jokes if there's no one around to hear it. Especially if the few who are around don't understand it.

I think I'll close with a final joke. Hmm.. Which one? Ah, the one Alistair told me. Well, I've got just one thing to say:

"The angkasawan meninggal dunia."

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA!

Think about it for a while, and you ought to get it. Haha! Until next time.

New Stuffs

I haven't been blogging much at all. But look. I have a good excuse: I have exams coming up. The big three letters: P, M, and R.

Admittedly, that isn't why I'm doing nothing. I haven't been studying that much either. I'm just lazy and uninspired.

*picture fat, balding old man whining about his remote control being too far away*

Anyway, I decided to just come up and post SOMETHING, or else y'all will think I've died or something.

So here you go. My newest artworks. First one's supposed to be me. Though it doesn't really look like me. I guess that looks like mine just can't be put down on paper, yeah?

And this one's my hand drawing my hand, drawing my hand, drawing my hand, drawing my hand... And I've lost count. But you get the picture. Literally, I mean.


Eww. I need a better copyright. Seriously. The little "Madness" box at the bottom of my pictures are spoiling it. I should just write my name at the bottom in grey or something. Sigh. Maybe next time.

Oh, and by the way. Are any of you experiencing problems with the background colour of my blog? Cos I haven't seen my usual white background in.. forever. The background that comes up on my computer is brown. At first I assumed it's just my internet with loading problems, but I thought I'd better check. Let me know in the Cbox, yeah?
