You expend more calories eating and digesting celery than there are in the celery itself.

Does that mean that the more you eat celery, the more you will lose weight?:P The veggie must be that tough. Imagine chewing something that would make you thinner.

Come to think of it, I’ve never tried chewing raw celery before. Have you?

Ever wondered why most spiral staircases turn right as they ascend?

That’s because right-handed knights could better defend the castles (who had the staircases) against invaders as they climb up the stairs.

What about left-handed knights? No wonder left-handed people live shorter, if that’s the case. Man. Imagine an empty can of tuna tumbling down the stairs and then multiply that with ten. That must’ve been some racket.@_@

ROFL! Never underestimate pretty girls.:P People seem to think that just because someone’s good-looking automatically makes them weak. I wanted to cheer for Maria Sharapova when I saw this video.:P

This is my favorite character from the anime Yu Yu Hakusho. The “black sheep” of the gang of otherwise friendly, supernatural-crime fighting gang, not a lot of people would love this character because he is angsty, dark, rude, cold, and also kind of morally gray.�This fire-and-ice demon��has a reason for being like this though.

He is known as the Forbidden One, born to an ice maiden of a land where there are only women. If that wasn’t enough, he’s also part fire demon, his father (who was never seen) was one. Because of this, he was thrown off a cliff while still a baby. He was eventually found by a gang of bandits, but they also eventually rejected him when he grew a bit older because he enjoyed killing too much. He began living on his own then, being forced to fend for himself.

Eventually, he sought the demon surgeon Shigure and asked him to implant a Jagan (a third eye) on his forehead. Despite warnings that his demon class (measures their power) will drastically be lowered because of the procedure, he still insisted on it, and Shigure reluctantly carried through with it. As such, his demon class lowered from A to D. Because of this, he�took on Shigure’s offer to teach him how to fight with a sword so as to be able to survive.

He later finds out that his mother died because of his supposed death and that he has a twin sister, an ice demon named Yukina.��He decides to use his Jagan to watch over his sister (it gives him psychic abilities, among other things). However, as he parted ways with Shigure, the surgeon demands that his payment be that Hiei will never tell Yukina of their kinship. The latter promises, saying he never meant to tell her anyway.

That promise didn’t prevent him from trying to look for his sister though, and his search eventually brought him to the human realm, where he meant two other demons, the other one being Kurama. They were eventually caught by the spirit detective Yusuke. Strangely, the three, with Kuwabara, became allies after. Coincidentally, one of Yusuke’s cases was to rescue Yukina from�the cruel human Turakane. Eventually, Hiei finds out about this and almost kills him, but was stopped by his sister. He didn’t tell her about their relationship though.

In one of the demonic fighting tournaments that he and the rest participated, the tattoo on his right arm was revealed to be a mark of the Dark Dragon, which he could unleash via the Jaou Ensatsu technique and create a Dragon of darkness flame. This is a very damaging technique that could at least blow off the caster’s arm when used incorrectly. However, he only received a crippled arm when he first tried using it. His second shown casting was eventually successful, blowing off half the stadium because of its strength.

A peanut is actually a legume, not nut.

I wonder why they’re called peanuts, then. Why not pea-gumes?

I wish I could invent words too.:P
