The magician’s words “hocus-pocus” is said to be taken from the name of a mythological sorcerer, Ochus Bochus, who appears in Norse folktales and legends.

Now to find an answer to my next question: why would parents call their child Ochus Bochus?

A kangaroo can only jump if its tail is touching the ground.

Maybe it’s true what they show in cartoons. The tail acts as spring to make the kangaroo go BOING! BOING! BOING!

Dog food is apparently the most profitable food on the market. People actually spend four times as much on dog food as they do on baby food.

So instead of this, the baby should be doing dog impressions instead to get treats?:P

On an island in northern Wales there’s a village called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllandysiliogogogoch.

Poor villagers. I can just imagine how much of a hard time they have trying to fill in forms.

Yep, you read it right. A middle school in North Carolina is said to be selling test scores to students to try to raise money. Twenty test points will be sold to students for $20, where students can add 10 extra points to each of two tests of their choice. The principal defends that the points would not have enough impact to change the overall grades, while officials of the Department of Public Instruction says that the exchange is teaching them wrong lessons.

And to think, they did this because last year’s bake sale didn’t work. Have they thought of carwash first?
