Well I was going to

post some photos of my fingernails.

We had a Welsh lesson today in which we watched bits of Welsh TV. And me and my friend had some tip-pex and pens. So.....
I had a terrible Hello Kitty drawn on my thumb nail.
Dots on my second finger.
A really nice flower on my third.
The union jack on my fourth (I had to teach her how to draw the union flag first though)
AND
on my little finger.........

..............A NINJA.


Oh dear me, we are childish.

I got too excited and started showing everyone my 'ninja', and the amount of sympathetic 'it's okay' pats and hugs I got...... made me feel very popular. It is sad when I have to show my little finger with a cute ninja to be able to feel popular.

I also got the alphabet wrong in maths. I sat next to a friend and we were going through the alphabet and I missed out a few letters.
So he taught me the alphabet, and the guy behind me shook my hand to congratulate me.

Oh, and recently I've started putting toothpaste on my face before I go to bed. As apparently they help with spots and stuff. But then, my uncle also said that cutting the blood circulation in the feet is good for them.

I just need to find the right balance between gullible and. Cynic? Cynical? I think that's the word.

Hmm.
Pudding tomorrow.

True Story: The maths genius who got a bean stuck in his ear.

He will hate me for this, so lets not make the future worse and call him by a fake name. JB, again.

Once upon a time, when he was about 8, he was doing work in his room, and I was elsewhere.
He recently made a rainmaker in school, one of those long used toilet roll filled with beans and the ends taped together.
I think it was the boredom, but he decided to empty the rainmaker. He probably sorted the beans into groups or something.

So, unfortunatley, no one was there to witness this first hand, but he put a red bean in his ear.



He put a red bean in his ear.



Probably, attempting to retrieve the bean from his ear, he used a cotton bud. That only made it worse. The bean only got further in his ear.

We tried vacuuming it out, we literally put a vacuum against his ear but that came to no avail.

So we went to sleep for that day, ignoring that there was a red bean in his ear.

Then my dad came home from work, we had called him earlier about the bean in the ear, and attempted to pick it out. But that was a fail too, so they went to the hospital together.


I just went along with my normal life, went to school, and tried to keep it a secret.
All my friends knew about it by first break, I was torn between amusement and sympathy.


He was put on the waiting list for a surgery to remove the bean. A nurse thought this was outrageous, as he just a kid who needed a simple surgery. So he received the surgery in the same week.

Now I missed out all the fun, because I was busy at school updating my friends on this.

*I was just told that, he needn't have the surgery, he was bribed with chocolate to let the doctor retrieve the bean with some simple tools. But he was scared and said it would tickle. Half an hour was wasted trying to get him to agree, he curled up to mum and said he would prefer to keep the red bean in his ear than let the doctor loose on him.

He had one of those injections which made you unconscious and they removed the red bean from his ear.


Of course, the doctors wouldn't just let us forget about this incident, so they returned the red bean to us, the rightful owners in a little glass bottle.
And JB was presented with a sticker that said 'I was as brave as a lion.'

Theorem of Alberty II

As everyone knows, if there is a website or a url for something, then its obviously true.
SO, to Harvey in particular, because there is a url for this theorem IT EXISTS.

The theorem of Alberty II.
Alberty was one of the only female leaders of an aboriginal tribe in Kasukee and extremely interested in the Sun.
She somehow discovered (somehow?) that, erm, the sector of a circle is equal to pi squared the tangent of the area of the circle minus the angle in degrees of the sector. This is all very true.

And you won't find this anywhere else because my friend dug this up in the Sydney Opera House. And this wasn't on the news because (typing error)

I now only need £100,000 from the governement of maths for making this ground breaking discovery. I thank you.
