Fact of the Day: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984 and debuted as a comic book. This inspired a television cartoon show, which catapulted the characters into a nationwide merchandising craze. The four anthropomorphic turtles - Donatello (purple bandana), Leonardo (blue bandana), Michelangelo (orange bandana), and Raphael (red bandana), each named for their master's (Master Splinter) favorite Renaissance artists - avoided overt violence and any semblance of real conflict.


I loved these guys as a child! and some of the girls in my childrens lit class like them now and everyhting is all about them!

Yawning

Fact of the Day: Yawning
Yawning is an involuntary action that causes us to open our mouths wide and breathe in deeply. No one knows for sure why we yawn, but there are some interesting theories. One states that yawning is physiological: we yawn to draw in more oxygen or remove a build-up of carbon dioxide. Another theory states that we yawn because we are bored, fatigued, or drowsy, while a third suggests that yawning is evolutionary; according to this theory, our ancestors used yawning to intimidate others by showing their teeth, or to signal a change in activity. The use of yawning as a form of communication would also explain why some people find yawning contagious; 55% of people will yawn within five minutes of seeing someone else yawn. Reading about yawning usually makes people yawn as well. The average yawn lasts about six seconds. All animals appear to yawn, too!

Its true No one knows why we yawn and I want to Know! and its also true that I could not not yawn while reading this! Hope you faught the temptation!
