Yes it’s me, Mystery Blogger, Blogger in tights, the
Stig of Blogging.
OK so she’s already given the game away as to who this could be, but hey, there’s something alluring about the mysterious, so just leave me alone to live out my fantasies in piece will you? Please?
Anyways, onwards and upwards…
I believe one of Gems regular readers (Lisa from the good old U.S. of A.), requested some more strange and interesting scientific theories about cats in Gems absence. Unfortunately though, I’m all out of dead or alive cat quandaries at the moment, but I've thought of an alternative. I'm gonna share just a few little strange scientific facts with you all… (Remember a 'Fact' is a scientific truth that hasn't yet been disproved, alternatively any random claim put on the web and signed by someone who appears to know what they're talking about! ;o) )
So proceeding quickly forward…
Firstly for all you animal lovers. Fear you’re too late to get to the abattoir to save the chickens? Not necessarily… We all know the phrase ‘Running around like a headless chicken’ but were you aware that if the brain stem is left intact after beheading a chicken, it can continue to live (with some care in feeding). There is one documented case of a headless chicken living on for 18 months after he was supposed to have become Sunday dinner! Curious hey… He lived to fry another day… ;O)
OK so you’re on a remote Caribbean island enjoying the usual stuff, sun; sea; sangria and superbikes on the TV, what’s gonna kill you? The shark infested waters while you’re out enjoying a spot of snorkelling? Nope! In fact statistically you’ve got more chance of being killed by a falling coconut than by a shark attack… I can see it now, the latest Hollywood movie, ‘Revenge of the Hairy Killer Coconuts’… (Wait a second, I might of already of seen that, wasn’t it one of the spin off’s to ‘Return of the Follically Well Endowed Vampire Teenage Tit Dancers’ ? ;O) )
OK time for just one more…
Did you know most of your body isn’t you? Nope it ain’t! OK OK, the fact is most of your Body’s cells aren’t yours! There are more microbial cells (bacteria and other stuff), in your body than cells that have your own DNA in them…! (Just wait until the schizophrenic conspiracy theorist get a hold of that one…!)
OK that’s all folk, catch up with you’ll on the dark side (oh and don’t think I didn’t notice you lot where all really crap/lazy on Gems (My!), recent Music quiz… I know such because none of you asked for the bloody answers!)
Will the last one to leave, please switch off the lights…
Ciao Ciao
MB ;O)

THAT is how education should be!!!
There is one documented case of a headless chicken living on for 18 months after he was supposed to have become Sunday dinner!
In the same vein, Dr. Beauriex reported conscious reaction by Languille's head for about 25 seconds after he was guillotined in 1905.
But then, by all reports, Languille was no chicken, as he ". . . displayed an extraordinary sang-froid and even courage from when he was told that his last hour had come until the moment when he walked firmly to the scaffold."
Lisa & Kate: If you're really lucky she'll be back soon :o)
Silvia: I learnt everything I know about teaching from my year 11 Art teacher (who curiously enough was sent to jail that year, something about Scouts and Woggles if I remember rightly!)
Bully: Sounds like your typical Frenchman to me... Willing, but just not capable!
