I could eat a knob at night
Jellyfish
I don't like jellyfish, they’re not a fish, they're just a blob.
They don’t have eyes, fins or scales like a cod.
They float about blind, stinging people in the seas,
And no one eats jellyfish with chips and mushy peas.
Get rid of 'em!
Jellyfish, Part 2
It would be spiteful
To put jellyfish in a trifle
For God's Sake
For God's sake,
me belly ache
The doctor said it’s me kidney He said he’s got to stick a tube up me knob I said you got to be kidding me For God' sake,
knob ache.

Iridescence makes things more pretty
Iridescence is an optical phenomenon of surfaces in which hue changes in correspondence with the angle from which a surface is viewed.
The word iridescence is derived in part from the Latin word Iris, meaning "rainbow", which in turn derives from the goddess Iris of Greek mythology, who is the personification of the rainbow and acted as a messenger of the gods.
Iris was married to Zephyrus, who was the god of the west wind.
Iridescence can be seen in soapy bubbles, seashells, butterfly wings, pearls, etc

Kirk!
Kirk Gleason: Excuse me, is that good?
Woman: Yes.
Kirk Gleason: And what is that?
Woman: Meat loaf.
Kirk Gleason: Ok, so this meat loaf... is it a romantic food for you? Is it getting you hot?
Kirk: Luke is peeking!
Luke: It means you're peeking too, snitch!
Kirk Gleason: Oh, I can tell you what they're saying.
Lorelai Gilmore: How?
Kirk Gleason: I read lips. My girlfriend taught me. It's so we can have quiet time and keep a conversation going at the same time. Okay: she just said "Hardwood sponge is the authority of the hostile biographer." And then he responded, "Just phone cords to original samovars."
Lorelai Gilmore: Are you okay?
Kirk Gleason: My mother has developed a knee condition. It makes her knees enormous. Yesterday I spent all morning cutting holes in her pants so she could sit. But other than that, and the dyspeptic parrot problem, everything is fine.

Superstitious sailors!
Sailors are the kookiest; here are just some of their kooks:
• The feather of a wren slain on New Year’s Day will protect a sailor from dying by shipwreck.
• It's bad luck to sail on a Friday. Related urban ledgend: The reluctance of seamen to sail on a Friday reached such epic proportions, that in the 1800s the British Government decided to take strong measures to validate the superstition. They laid the keel of a new vessel on Friday, selected her crew on a Friday, launched her on a Friday and named her HMS Friday. They then placed her in command of one Captain James Friday and sent her to sea for the first time on a Friday. The scheme worked well, and had only one drawback ... neither ship nor crew was ever heard from again.
• Black travelling bags are bad luck.
• If you whistle or sing into the wind on a boat, a storm is sure to follow.
• Sailors who wear earrings or have tattoos won't drown, the accessories were thought to keep evil spirits away.
• It's bad luck to have women onboard because they make the sea angry or jealous.
• Rats leaving a ship are a sign of trouble.
• On some fishing boats it is strictly prohibited to bring bananas or suitcases on board, even images of bananas can’t be brought on board and banana republic clothing cannot be worn.
• Coming into contact with red heads when going to the ship to begin a journey.-Red heads bring bad luck to a ship, which can be averted if you speak to the red-head before they speak to you.
• Disaster will follow if you step onto a boat with your Left Foot first.
• Pouring wine on the deck will bring good luck on a long voyage.
• A naked woman on board will calm the sea.
• Black cats are considered good luck and will bring a sailor home from the sea.
• Cutting your hair or nails at sea is bad luck. -These were used as offerings to Proserpina, and Neptune will become jealous if these offerings are made while in his kingdom.
• Coins thrown into the sea as a boat leaves port is a small toll to Neptune, the sea god, for a safe voyage
• Fishermen should never speak the word "pig" out loud, but instead refer to the animal by nicknames such as Curly-Tail and Turf-Rooter. Mentioning the word "pig" will result in strong winds. Actually killing a pig on board the ship will result in a full scale storm.
Alot of these are based on biblical stories and greek myths, some are just crazy sailor guff. But Maybe if George clooney had read this perfect storm would be a less horribly deppressing film?
HAPPY SAILING

HELP SAVE THE HONEY BEES!
Honey bees pollinate a huge population of all the tasty fruit and veg, but they are vanishing due to colony collapse disorder, though it’s not actually know what exactly causes CCD there are some probable explanations scattered around:
• The process of transporting bees over long distances in order to pollinate crops may cause stress, depress the bees' immune system, expose them to additional pathogens or affect their navigational abilities.
• Mites that generally feed on bees, such as the varroa and tracheal mites, may be exposing the bees to an unknown virus. These mites have caused colony collapses in the past, but they have also left evidence for beekeepers to find, which is not the case in CCD.
• Some unknown pathogen or other factor may be affecting bees' ability to navigate.
• Honeybees may have too little genetic diversity, making the species as a whole susceptible to widespread disease.
Häagen-Dazs ice cream has joined in on the campaign to save the honey bees, Nearly 50% of their ice cream uses honey bees in some way, and they have recently brought out a new flavour- Vanilla Honey Bee (proceeds go to honey bee research)

What you can do:
• Don’t ever kill bees! If you see a swarm contact a bee keeper
• Don’t spray pesticides during mid-day, as that’s when bees are most likely to be buzzing around.
• Leave out a little dish of water for them as they get mighty thirsty.
• Plant honey bee friendly plants; Bees like round daisy shaped flowers, especially sunflowers.
• The great sunflower project you can get free sunflower seeds to plant as long as you keep them up to date regarding the number of bees that come to visit your plants.
• Again, don’t kill them, even if you’re a sissy and are scared of the little cuties. Just a little tip: bees are repelled by the smell of alcohol and leather; so get drunk, throw on some leather trousers, hunker down and plan some daisies.
