There is no rhyme or reason for this article. There is no underlying meaning. No sentimental value. I simply have compiled a list of strange animal facts. I may or may not look them up on the regular.

1.) There are monkeys in Japan known as "Snow Monkeys".

Their interests include frequent dips in the local hot springs, and snacking on sweet potatoes. I would get along with these monkeys.


2.) A Blue Whale's tongue weighs more than an elephant.


A freakin' elephant. I would show you a picture, but it turns out most people do not photograph whale's tongues.

3.) Female Kola Bears have two vaginas, and males have two penises.


Weird. Just weird. No wonder they don't wear pants, cheeky creatures.

4.) A group of jellyfish is referred to as a "smack".


Just a smack of jellies looking for their slap of peanut butter.

5.) Snails can sleep for more than three years at a time.


I'm sure they are exhausted from their quick movements, lazy bums.

6.) Hippo's have pink sweat.

It gives off an aroma similar to that of melted strawberry ice cream. Okay, I might have made that last part up.


7.) A "Dik Dik" is a is a bread of tiny antelope found in Africa.

Quite frankly, they are so cute that I want to throw up, look at that face.


8.) Sloths may be clumsy on land, but they are excellent swimmers.


Is there anything more majestic? Nope. There isn't, beauty and grace.

9.) A certain breed of turtle can breathe out of their bums.


They have the ability to choose between their mouth or bum. Why? Why do turtles choose to intentionally breath out their bums? It requires less energy. They are beginning to go extinct. I wonder why.

10.) Goats have accents.


Did you just imagine a goat with a British accent? Yeah me too.

11.) Squirrels will adopt other squirrels' young if they have become abandoned.

We should be more like squirrels. Selfless lovers.

12.) Octopuses have not one, not two, but three hearts.

Not to mention six arms to hug with. Does this make them the most loving creature around? Probably.


12.) Wombat poo is cube-shaped to stop it from rolling away.


They have very poor eyesight so they use their poo cubes to find their way back home. For some reason, I just find the thought of a semi-blind,wombat following a trail of its own poo cubes endearing.

13.) A group of flamingos is referred to as a "flamboyant".


Reasoning? It is flamboyantly obvious.

I hope you just retained some necessary facts to get you through your life. By reading this you have already increased your level of "grooviness" in my book. Cheers, happy facts.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
