Did You Know?

 Fact #1: The Jewish Avengers.  When you hear the word 'Avengers', you probably think of the group of Marvel superheroes created by Stan Lee. But there is another group called the Avengers that are not the same as the Marvel characters. The Avengers were a groups a Jewish assassins. They hunted Nazi war criminals after the World War II. They poisoned about 2,283 German prisoners.                       Fact #2: Sack Gown.   The Great Depression, 1929-1939, was a very bad economic downturn. Stock markets crashed, people became unemployed, and a bunch of banks failed. Because no one had money to buy nice clothes, people resorted to using sacks to make outfits. Since these sack outfits were becoming a trend, food distributors made their sacks more colorful in an attempt for them to be fashionable.  These dresses are made out of the colorful sacks! Fact #3: Look at my Pineapple!   Back in 18th century England, instead of nice cars and expensive watches, pineapple were used as a symb

  Fact #1: A Space Song.   A Canadian astronaut named Chris Hadfield recorded an album while orbiting space. The album is called Space Sessions: Songs for a Tin Can. The album consists of 11 songs that are all original and were written by Hadfield himself. The first song ever sang in space goes to Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. He sang a song a Shostakovich song called 'My Homeland Hears.' Fact #2: Sandpaper? More Like Sharkpaper.   Back in the 18th century, Dogfish, a fish in the shark family, was often used to sand the wood of violins.

 Our bodies are amazing!! God knew exactly what He was doing when He was putting it all together. Every part of our bodies are there for a reason. Even the smallest bone in our bodies, which is called the stapes and is located in our ears! The stapes, along with two other bones, send vibrations to the inner part of our ear.  Another cool human body fact is that our lungs are not the same size. The lung on the right is shorter than the left lung because the liver is right under it. The left lung is smaller because the heart takes up a lot of space in there. Here is a picture so you can see what I am talking about:  The lung on our left is shorter because of how high the liver sits; the lung on our right is smaller. If you can tell, it is kind of curved on the inside part, that would be where the heart sits. The last fact for this blog is that we are taller in the morning than we are at night. Now, don't think that you are, like, 2 feet taller. With most people, you are only about 0.

Ever since the 5th grade, I have always had an interest in Greek Mythology. I don't believe in it, but I find it entertaining.  So,  I will be writing 3 facts about it. I hope you enjoy!       Fact #1: Ares' Chaotic Sis.    Ares, the god of war, had a sister named Eris. She is the goddess of Chaos and Strife, which means: ''angry or bitter disagreement over fundamental issues; conflict.''

Zeus tried to make Hades bring Persephone back, but because she had already eaten six pomegranate seeds, she had to stay in the Underworld for six months of the year
