Greeeetings! Welcome to my profile where all things are about me and my person.

Firstly, I - Did you know elephants cannot jump? Really. They cannot. They have completely flat feet and no ankles, making it impossible to exert a force at a proper angle to lift their heavy bodies off the ground! Try it; just keep your ankles steady and try to lift off. Come to think of it, have you ever seen an elephant jump on Nat Geo?

Did you know, an average urban dweller spends 22 weeks of his/her entire life waiting for the traffic light to change?

The Pink Panther theme song was composed by a dude named Henry Mancini.

Johnny Depp started out with a dream of becoming a rock musician, dropping school at 15. AWESOME.

Strawberries are the only fruits with their seeds on the outside.

The first contact lens were the size of teacup saucers.

Chickens can travel up to 15km per hour.

Secondly, my - Clinophobia is the fear of beds.

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.

The plastic things at the end of your shoelace are called aglets.

Lemons have more sugar content than strawberries.

Sweat glands are everywhere, but your feet and hands have the most of them.

Back in the good old days of Star Trek, where Spock was played by Leonard Nimoy and the-actor-who-nobody-remembers-his-name a.k.a. Sylar wasn't even born yet, it was fiction to have a flip-up or slide phone. Now, that stuff is outdated and our phones have touch screens. Next thing you know, our cars will fly.

Mister Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character whose fame has convinced some millions of readers worldwide that he is an actual historical figure. Fans have been visiting 221st Baker Street yearly for decades. The poor chaps who live nearby are si bei suei Hokkien (Chinese dialect) for 'dead unlucky'.

Venus is the only planet in our Solar System that rotates clockwise.

On average, a movie makes about five times more earnings from its video sales than its ticket takings. Piracy is not such a big thing then.

The Singapore Education system is hot worldwide for the competition it produces, having many international ministries of education learning the tricks. Singaporean students are perhaps more acknowledgable in academics, on the other hand, many have lost their spirit of originality and the art of having personal personalities. There was an article in a Singaporean newspaper featuring a report written by a local university graduate who has had experience overseas, comparing the attitudes of overseas surgeons with local qualifiers. When the former made a mistake in some incision, he would take responsibility. The latter will get the patient to sign insurance and a contract that protects the doctor's ass. You should research how the local doctor teachers treat their live human examples when performing for their class.

Finally, I thank you for reading my profile.
I will be adding more facts soon,
because I think they are more interesting than anything I can tell you
about the life of a Singaporean student.
- peace!

Captain Hanson Crockett Gregory was the inventor of the donut with a hole in the middle.
Christopher Sholes with assistance from Amos Densmore rearranged the typewriter keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions. Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine. The new arrangement was the "QWERTY" arrangement that typists use today
Johnny is a name for an unknown, unimportant and insignificant man. But Johnny Depp is FAR from insignificant! Hahaha! And hot.

Objects:
The first vacuum cleaner was so large it was brought to a house by horses.

Your digestive system is six times longer than you!
Hypothalamus is a region of the brain that controls thirst and hunger. It had been experimentally removed from animal subjects, resulting in them going on an eating rampage until they died from lack of sleep.
