First, I would like to thank ChibiFairy for the chibi. Second, I don't remember if I congratulated LB and GN on their one year anniversary. If I didn't, here's to one happy year for you two and hopefully, many more to come. Thirdly, I have found an annoying song for the 3 day theme, so if you want to avoid it, please suggest a song. I mean, how hard is it. You just have to tell me, "Hey redlegsfan21, could you put ____________ up, I really love that song." or something like that. Fourthly, I tortured myself yesterday by watching the Reds commit 6 errors. Now if you are not a baseball fan, errors are bad. Usually there are around 1.5 errors per game (both teams combined). Fifthly, ta ta for now.

DID YOU KNOW...
... that George J. Adler, one of the greatest linguists of the 19th century, went insane from the effort of publishing his Dictionary of German and English Languages?

PICTURE OF THE DAY

Controlling fire was one of the first great achievements of humankind. It made possible migration to colder climates which otherwise would have remained out of reach for colonization. It allowed for cooking food and using flame and heat to process materials. Archeological studies indicates that ancestors of modern humans such as Homo erectus may have been using controlled fire as early as 790,000 years ago.
