The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
In school we're reading The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien for our novel study, and it's an immensely boring book, but this song probably makes up for it.
Note: Bilbo is the main character of The Hobbit, but you probably won't understand much of this song unless you get an idea of what the book is about.
As the description for this video reads, "Enjoy it... Or panic!"

October 31
I failed. I totally forgot about this on the actual day it happened, which was really pathetic on my part, and since it's been over two weeks, you probably already know of this already, but:
On Oct. 31, 2011:
On Oct. 31, 2011:
- I celebrated an amazing awesome fun Halloween.
- The world's population officially increased to seven billion people.

TAK: The Hideous New Girl Part One
Episode 36 of the fantastic TV show Invader ZIM, but this is the speeded-up version, which is just as funny as the original.
Everyone's voice sounds like they just inhaled a tank of helium :D

Marie Curie
Today is Marie Curie's 144th birthday!
She is famously know for her research on radioactivity with her husband, Pierre Curie.
She was born as Maria Salomea Skłodowska on November 7 (today), 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. She died on July 4, 1934 in Haute-Savoie, France due to, ironically, too much exposure to radiation.

Gas Leak
Our school had an evacuation today!! It was because there was apparently a gas leak near our school.
660 News (http://www.660news.com/news/local/article/287197--northwest-schools-evacuated-due-to-gas-leak) says:
More then 1400 students are safe and uninjured after being evacuated from three northwest schools, late Tuesday morning.
Fire crews were called to an area near Queen Elizabeth Elementary, Junior and Senior high schools around 11:30 a.m. after receiving a call about a possible gas leak.
Elementary students were taken to Hillhurst community centre, while Junior High and High School students were taken to Crescent Heights High School.
Fire officials say someone digging in the area of 5th Avenue and 18th Street NW struck a 3-inch natural gas line.
There were no injures and the Calgary Fire Department's Brian Brian McAsey tells 660News it's not believed students were ever in any dancer, and the evacuation was simply done as a precaution. Which is totally accurate, except for the fact that the Junior High and High School people were actually also taken to the community centre (and I should know, because I was one of them!).

National Ice Cream Day/Month
Today is National Ice Cream Day for the USA!!! Apparently it's on every third Sunday of July.
And July is National Ice Cream Month!!!
Yay!
To see fun facts, and more about Ice Cream Day, read this fun article:
http://www.myplainview.com/news/article_c0e5a72e-b00a-11e0-9666-001cc4c002e0.html
And be sure to eat some!
I ate a soy-milk ice cream today. It tasted even better than actual ice cream, in my opinion.
Soy-milk tastes good as pretty much anything. Did you know they also make soy yogurt? It's called soygurt. Or soyogurt. Or yofu. Pretty funky names!
