Things I’ve learned the past week:
1. There are many reasons why a skeleton would wear sunglasses.
-To aid scientists develop a way to determine a skeleton’s age due entirely to bone bleaching when compared to the dark circles around the eyes where the sunglasses kept sunlight from whitening the bone. Hence, how long the skeleton’s ‘slept’ will be apparent from the dark circles around their eyes. Yet one more way that death is opposite from life.
-Being far more naked than the rest of us, skeletons may be prone to utilizing any and all accessories they can grab.
-Even the dead have a right to fashion sense.
(Discovered due to a parasail ride with turtlephoenix.wordpress.com and a parachute showing a jolly roger in what appeared to be sunglasses.)
2. Holding a newborn with hiccups is like holding a reverse squeaky toy. They sound the same and are comparable in size, but while you contract the toy to make it squeak, the hiccuping newborn expands with each noise.
3. There is an island in Michigan (Mackinac Island) which only has one mall strip without a fudge shop in the whole place. (Yum!)
