Weird News: World's Tallest Man Gets Married

Some of you may remember 54-year-old Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man. He is the one who saved two dolphins by using his long arms to reach into their stomachs and pull out dangerous plastic shards which they had swallowed.

Bao is 2.36m tall and he put his long limbs to good use in December 2006. Veterinarians approached Bao for help after the dolphins became ill as their stomachs were unable to digest the plastic.

And after searching...

HIGH
and
LOW...
he has finally found himself a bride! Bao married Xia Shujian, a 29-year-old saleswoman from his home town of Chifeng. His new bride is about half his age and no more than half his height! (see the picture below)

Do you think it is cool to be as tall as Bao? What do you think are the benefits (advantages) and drawbacks (disadvantages) of being so tall? Share your thoughts!

Weird News: "Monster" Toad Found in Australia

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) - A huge cane toad the size of a small dog has been captured in the Australian tropical city of Darwin, startling environmentalists who are fighting to stop the poisonous reptiles from spread across the country.

"It's a monster toad," said Paul Cowdy from FrogWatch which captured the cane toad on Monday night.


"We've never seen a cane toad this big," he said on Tuesday. "It's a male and normally females are bigger."


The cane toad, regarded as a major pest in Australia, was one of 39 caught by a group from FrogWatch near Lee Point in Darwin. It measures 20.5 centimetres (8 inches) in length and weighs 840 grams (1.8 pounds) -- twice the normal weight.


Cane toads are one of Australia's worst environmental mistakes. The spread of the toads, whose skin is poisonous, has led to dramatic declines in populations of native snakes, goanna lizards and quolls, which are cat-sized marsupials.


"We capture them, put them in plastic bags, freeze them and turn them into liquid fertilizer," Cowdy said of the cane toads.


Cane toads were introduced from Hawaii in 1935 in a failed bid to control native cane beetles. There are now more than 200 million cane toads in Australia.


Source: CNN.com


Here's a riddle: What happens if you keep feeding a cane toad?

Answer: It just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

Captive cane toads will allegedly eat everything from dog food to mice and they keep growing until they reach 25cm in length and over 4 kg.


Points to Ponder: Perhaps the Australians should have thought carefully about food chains before introducing the cane toads to get rid of cane beetles.

Now the population of cane toads is beyond control because all stages of the toad's life are poisonous. Therefore, the cane toad has no natural predator.


What do you think Australia can do to solve this problem? Think about it and post your comments!

Weird News: Millions of Honeybees are Disappearing!

Beekeepers,researchers and farmers are all abuzz about a mysterious wave of disappearances. Millions of honeybees are vanishing, leaving no clues and no dead bodies behind. The bees fly away from their colonies in search of pollen and nectar and never return.

Experts have a name for the honeybees' disappearing act: colony collapse disorder (CCD). Two dozen states have reported CCD.

Researchers are desperately seeking an explanation. CCD could be a result of a widespread disease.
Another possibility is that honeybees are reacting to a harmful pesticide that confuses them. If bees are unable to find their hives, they could starve to death or freeze in the field. Yet another theory suggests that last summer's dry, hot weather led honeybees to stop working or to become ill.


Source: Time For Kids - Bad News For Bees


This sounds like a real mystery! Why do you think the bees are vanishing without a trace? Could they have been kidnapped by aliens? ;)

Tiny Rare Owl Spotted in Peru!

This long-whiskered owlet (small owl) has been seen in the wild for the first time, the American Bird Conservancy said Thursday. The long-whiskered owlet, one of the world's smallest owls, was discovered in 1976. Researchers have caught a few specimens in nets after dark but had not seen it in nature.

It was spotted in the wild in February by researchers monitoring a private conservation area in Peru's northern jungle.

Weird News: Pet Fish Learns New Tricks

Albert Einstein, a calico fantail goldfish, is not your ordinary pet goldfish. He has learned to take food from his owner's hand, swim through hoops and tubes, and even put a miniature soccer ball into a goal!



Albert learned "ball handling" through training. Here he nudges a miniature soccer ball toward a goal in his tank.

(Photograph courtesy Dean Pomerleau)








It all started when Kyle Pomerleau, 9, won two goldfish at a school fair. Soon he noticed that the fish would react to his movements whenever he came near the tank. He wondered if they were smarter than he'd realised.

First Albert earned a food reward every time he swam toward the net. This training technique is called positive reinforcement. The fish likes the treat, so it learns to repeat the action to get additional treats.

Once Albert learned to go toward the net, Kyle and his dad added a new step—ball handling. Eventually Albert learned to push a ball into a goal.

The trainer learns patience and persistence, the father-son team says. It may take five or six training sessions a day for three weeks to teach a fish to swim through a hoop. Just like kids, individual fish learn at different speeds!

Something to think about: Does this mean we can train our crayfish, Daddy and Mommy, and our terrapin, Redhwan, to do tricks? What do you all think?

Weird News: Colossal Squid Caught Off the Antartic
February 22, 2007—In Antarctica's Ross Sea, a fishing boat has caught what is likely the world's biggest known
colossal squid (yes, that's the species' name), New Zealand officials announced today. Heavier than even giant squid, colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) have eyes as wide as dinner plates and sharp hooks on some of their suckers. The new specimen weighs in at an estimated 990 pounds (450 kilograms).

Source: National Geographic News



*colossal = of extraordinary size and extent; gigantic; huge (e.g. If you steal that watch, you will be making a colossal mistake.)


Check out the picture above! While a giant squid is about 10m long, the colossal squid is 13m long! That's even longer than a school bus! You can have squid for lunch and dinner everyday for months!

What is "Gobbledygook"? What does "Gibberish" mean?

Are you already scratching your head ? You must be wondering, "Are 'gobbledygook' and 'gibberish' even English words?"

The answer is YES.

Gobbledygook = language that is hard to understand (e.g. Sometimes no one understands the gobbledygook of scientific reports.)


Gibberish = meaningless talk or writing (e.g. Jack used words from 7 different languages to form one sentence, so everyone thought he was speaking gibberish.)

So which - "gobbledygook" or "gibberish" - has a closer meaning to the word "nonsense"? Post your answers!

Here's a clue: watch this funny music video called "Gibberish" featuring Japanese anime. The singer is singing absolute gibberish half the time! Check it out to see what I mean!

Polar Bears and the Greenhouse Effect



Do you like polar bears?

Well, they may not be around for much longer. Global warming is causing the Earth's temperature to increase. As a result, the ice that the polar bears live on are melting more easily and quickly.

So what if the ice is melting?

The answer is simple: the polar bears will find it more and more difficult to hunt and survive.

Why is there global warming?

The Earth is getting hotter each year because the atmosphere is trapping more heat from the sun. This is known as the greenhouse effect. Man's activities such as the clearing of forests and burning of fuels release greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide) into the air. Greenhouse gases can trap heat from the sun. Thus, the more greenhouse gases there are, the more heat is being trapped!

To find out more about how greenhouse gases can cause global warming, check out this website: The United States Environment Protection Agency

We can recycle paper and save trees so that they can photosynthesize to take away some of the carbon-doixide we have in the air.

Some Facts (And Trash) About Us

Our Class: 6 Orchid
Our School: Woodlands Ring Primary School

We're a class of 40 pupils who will be graduating from Woodlands Ring Primary School (WRPS) at the end of this year. Intelligent, fun-loving and determined - that's what we are.

Teaching us are two ugly and fearsome monsters, Miss Stephanie Ho and Mrs Sharon Toh. One can kill you simply by staring at you and the other uses her loud booming voice as a murder weapon. When we do not behave well or do our work, these monsters.... [IT'S TOO TERRIBLE TO SAY WHAT THEY DO TO US.]

Want to find out more about us? It's very simple! All you need to do is to stay tuned to this blog. Don't worry, it won't be a waste of your time. We don't talk trash... at least not all the time =)
