FUNKY CHICKEN

I like birds.
I like birds of prey in particular.
We know hawks, falcons, & owls etc.
But ever heard of a secretary bird?
Me neither until last night.
It just might be my new favorite.
It's called a secretary birds because of the way it 
stomps its feet to kill its prey, this makes 
it kind of look like someone typing.
Oh and guess what it likes to eat....SNAKES!!!

Answer

☆How to Cure the Hiccups★


There are many different things people do to try cure themselves of the hiccups.  Some say to scare the person or drink out of the wrong side of a glass.  I personally use the "think about something else" trick.  I ask what you ate for dinner last night, then what you ate for lunch, and then what you ate for breakfast, and keep going back.  It sometimes works.

But according to this article, this is the way to cure hiccups.  You simply take the person's hand and squeeze hard on the fingernail of pinky finger for 10 seconds.  That's all!  No more heart attacks or thinking really hard.  Give it a try and let me know if it works.

To all the fries lovers!


I just saw that horrifying picture and was surprised to read that this super-sized portion of fries is going to be sold in Japan (and not in the US as I thought first although it may already be sold over there!!). Obviously, it is supposed to be shared by several people and not enjoyed by yourself only! I am pretty sure some people might though...
