Lovely

Facts (thanks Amanda):


If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)


If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)

(O.M.G.!)

("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

(Something I always wanted to know.)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(okay, so that would be a good thing)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains
(I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)

Hmmm

So my boss just offered me (at 17 last evening) the possibility of working in Copenhagen for the rest of the year. Told her I couldn't say yes without discussing it first at home. So the Finn and I had a chat..and surprisingly I got the go-ahead :) The daily tax free stipend (päivä raha) doesn't hurt. It would help us remove the remodeling loan and some debt by the end of the year...and hell it is Copenhagen!

So..our Denmark office is getting my CV today and I could be on a plane in the very short near future. It isn't definite yet, but it is 90% sure.. I guess it is a good thing I didn't buy those tickets to London from Helsinki yet. Have to do it from Copenhagen to London :)

Considering...

I am considering moving my blog to MSN spaces... Lots more possibilities for pictures and sounds and stuff... Any opinions are welcome.

I would put a link in here so that you can get to it...
