The Hidden Facts of Everyday Objects

Hello!!

How is everyone? With 2012 now in action, we are discovering what challenges lie ahead, what things we want to accomplish etc. I mean, it’s all in a day’s work right?

Anyway, the point of this post was to point out some peculiar things that happen everyday, yet we seem to not notice them due to the fact it occurs with inanimate objects…

For example, have you ever put a wire coat hanger in a wardrobe, then come back six months later and found a whole lot of them? Waited another 6 months and found a full wardrobe with coat hangers all over the floor,  the coat hangers being bent, broken, intertwined etc? No one ever sees how they multiply, how they manage to accomplish such feats…

Yep, believe or not, they have sex life.

You may now be wondering why the heck I am writing about this, are you not?

It is a serious issue, it happens everywhere and not just with coat hangers either. Ping-pong balls are another one. Each ping-pong ball has a colour on it somewhere, and each colour is part of the light spectrum (or the rainbow). The balls with a warm colour (red, orange, yellow) are the females, while the balls with a cool colour (blue, indigo, violet) are the males, bearing in mind that green is neutral.

Get 2 packets of ping-pong balls, one packet containing a warm colour and the other a cool colour. Open them and put them in a cupboard, making sure all the balls are in their correct packets. Come back a few weeks later, and there will be a ball missing from each packet, after which you usually find a few ping-pong balls more in the house than you actually started with…

Put one male and one female in an empty box together, and you guessed it, a full box after 6 months. As usual, it is known to happen everyday but we just don’t know how it happens…

There are continued investigations by residents that have noticed this happen with coat hangers, and people that play ping-pong have also started investigations… Just remember though, this has been happening for many years, but has only been investigated in the last decade.

On that note, I shall depart. Keep your eyes open everyone, and maybe we can learn more about this issue!

Bye for now,

Fester.

A Random Story About a Pea.

This story is about a pea that grew up in a pod.

A green one he was, by the name of Michael.

His pod was home to 3 other peas- Daniel, Jace and Corey-  and the pod grew in a field somewhere in the country.

From a tiny pea to a large pea, he grew for several weeks with his buddies beside him.

Then, it all changed in an instant.

He felt the pod get yanked off the plant it was attached to, and light poured into his home.

He was separated from his pod and thrown into a container, filled with many other peas, all from different pods.

Where was he? Where were his pod-mates? He looked and he found 2 of them, but Jace was gone.

He couldn’t get to the other two, the noise was horrific. Who did this?

The humans. Their tractors rumbled through the field, and the container he was in was thrown into one of them.

He was laying there for several minutes, then was put into an even bigger container and put in a truck. All was dark……

 

The next thing he knew, he was being taken out of the truck, and snap-frozen. He couldn’t move, but he could see.

He saw massive machines, hundreds of peas being put into packets a hundred times the size he was.

Daniel and Corey were no where to be seen. They were possibly in packets of their own, already in boxes destined for the supermarket.

He was put into a packet, and he passed out.

 

He woke, the atmosphere cold around him. He still couldn’t move. Still frozen, in a freezer.

He felt movement. The packet was taken out of the freezer, into a trolley of a lady named Jane.

 

Back into a freezer again. No sound from the peas around him. It was dark.

He sat there for hours, wondering, wondering what would happen to him.

 

Light was around him. He hadn’t known he had fallen asleep. He wished he still was.

Heat. Heat was everywhere. The sizzling of fry-pans was loud. What was going to happen??

He was jerked side ways. Out of the packet, and into a pot of boiling water. Ouch.

All he heard was screaming. He realised with a start that one of the voices belonged to Corey, his former pod-mate.

All he felt was the burn from the water. His very inside was over-heating. Michael wished it would stop.

It did. Luckily, Jane liked her peas cooked only for a short time.

 

He was bruised when he hit the plate. He was still burning. He smelt the odours of other dead veggies, and animals.

Pepper was put onto him. The poor guys had their insides crushed. YUCK.

He saw Corey get stabbed with a metal object. Then he was gone, and Micheal looked up.

Humans. They were eating them.

He was scooped onto the object, a fork. He saw the human’s mouth coming toward him.

He wished with a tear in his eye for the safe pod that used to be his home. It was too late, as his life was about to end.

He screamed.

The City of Fallen Angels

 Yes I know, I have been on a  posting marathon with this…….. anyway, this book is number 4 of the Mortal  Instruments  and it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, as the previous book was  excellent; this  book, nah.

Enough dwelling on how the book is in comparison to the others. This book is the  continuation of the war of Downworlders and Shadow Hunters against the ruthless    Demons and Valentine’s servants. Even though Valentine himself is dead, his influence is  still around.

With Clary’s best friend underestimating his ability to resist blood, he his constantly  fighting with the temptation to be what he is- a Vampire. After biting an innocent 14 year  old, he realises even though he wants to live a normal life, he has to consider the  Vampire  side of him too.

This is the Blurb on the back of the book:

 

Clary is back in New York and life is good: she’s training to be a Shadowhunter and is finally able to call Jace her boyfriend. But nothing comes without a price. When Jace inexplicably begins to pull away from her, Clary is forced to acknowledge that she herself has set in motion a chain of events that could lead to the loss of everything she loves. Even Jace.

 

Demons, Vampires, Werewolves and Warlocks.  A new world. Even a bit of romance. What else could you expect from a legendary series of books??

City of Glass

No, this is not a blog about a city made of glass. But that would be interesting if there was one, and someone threw a rock in the middle of it……..

Anyway, you may have guessed what this blog is about. It is about….. *drum roll*……  book 3 of the Mortal Instruments- City of Glass.

Written by Cassandra Clare, this book is about a legendary battle between evil and good. It has vampires, werewolves, faeries and warlocks included in it, and the secret world of the Shadow Hunters must ally themselves with the creatures they share the world with, in the battle of their lives. This is the blurb on the back of the book:

Amid the chaos of war, the Shadow Hunters must decide to fight with the vampires, werewolves and other Dowwnworlders- or against them. Meanwhile, Jace and Clary have their own decision to make: Should they pursue the love they though is forbidden?

This is the epic finale to the war between Valentine and the Shadow Hunters….. while he is alive. Read the book and find out who wins the amazing battle.
