Awww! Echo, don't cry! *bites Echo's arm and smirks*
Did you know that in the East Coast, many chihuahuas (mispelled?) run around in the streets, yapping annoyingly, chasing birds as if they're cats?! I swear I can't go to sleep cause of them. Curse thee, chihuahuas!
And did ya know? In Verona, Italy on Valentine's day, more than 1,000 love notes are sent to Juliet! God, I expected people to be smarter. Its fiction! *-*

Whoa, one thing at a time! XD No, and no again, though I was on the East Coast for a week... didn't see any chihuahuas. They're everywhere here in CA, but not loose in the streets! XD ...As far as I know.
Didja know that daddy-long-legs spiders are extremely poisonous, but are no threat to humans because their fangs can't penetrate human skin? (I may have asked this already...)

Did you know that mosquito repelent doesn't actually REPEL mosquitos? They actually hide you so a mosquito can't sense where you are :3

Nope, didn't know. *smiles* If I were inhaling fumes like that, I doubt I'd be able to find dinner, myself. XD
Did you know that the itching and swelling around a bug bite is your body's reaction to the tiny bit of 'venom' the creature injects into you? Never occurred to me until recently that the critters might be 'venomous'... XD

XD I've been bit by a very venomous bug then. Erg. Didn't know that.
Did you know that we could be living the same day over and over again, but with dfferent scenarios happening? The original months were (in order) March, April, May, June, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November,and December. It was extended to twelve months by adding January and February, all thanks to Emperor Nume Pompilius. So honestly, before, the days were very different. In my opinion, we only live in "Today" and "Now". What's the use for time? Why turn back our clocks an hour on Daylight Savings day? Isn't that actually CHANGING time itself? Why do we have 7 days a week? Why are we so alligned to the planets and the sun? Why is THAT our source of time? Why cant it be simple. There's no yesterday, theres no tomorrow, theres only Today, Now, Morning, Night, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Why is everyone so complex about this? Before, when no one knew much about space, I bet that was how they lived. Only living in Today. But society won't confess the living truth! XD So, did you know that? c:

Uh... not sure. There's not much point wondering about time. XD We puny humans are not meant to understand such a concept. Of course the only time that EXISTS at any given instant is "NOW"... that much we can comprehend, which is why I scoff at the concept of 'time travel' (as if time were a place!). But things such as yesterday and tomorrow are human-created concepts, just like the idea that there are different human races (there really aren't, you see; we as a species just feel the need to classify things by what they look like). (Maybe we can define the past as a "now" that isn't anymoiew, and the future as a "now" that isn't yet.) XD
We could easily say there are ten days in a week, or five hours in a day, or a hundred minutes in an hour, or six months in a year. It wouldn't change anything except how we conduct our lives. You know the Islamic calender follows the moon, not the sun? Their 'months' aren't fixed like ours are. Chinese "New Year" isn't January 1st. All we've done with our calenders and clocks is organize ourselves in this thing we call time. It's natural to wonder about time, but you wonder too much about it and you'll go crazy eventually. XD
Anyway, I repeat: did you know the Islamic calender follows the moon, not the sun? =]

Yes, yes I did! Did you know that in the original story of the Little Mermaid, the little mermaid fell in love with the prince, she returned hin to shore, but when he woke up, he fell in love with a girl he THOUGHT saved him. The Little Mermaid went to the sea witch and exchanged her voice for legs. Once on land, she found out the prince was going to marry another girl. So she went back and found her sisters. They saw how sad she was and went to the witch to trade their hair for a sword. But, the Little Mermaid had to kill the prince before sunset. She loved the prince a lot, so she couldn't do it. So the Little Mermaid jumped into the water, which made her and her sisters turn into sea foam. *Shivers.* So did you know that? XD

Yep! Haha.
Did you know that in the original Cinderella the evil stepsisters cut off their toes so they could fit their feet into the glass slipper? Cinderella also had her feet removed, I believe.
