First off, I got sick at school today and had to leave after 3rd period. I had band practice tonight but I can't attend due to school policy. I need a new three day theme and this was all I could come up with. And for those of you concerned, I'm feeling much better now after some chicken noodle soup and crackers.

DID YOU KNOW...
...that the world's record auction price for a single piece of silver was achieved by a silver tureen made by the Parisian silversmith Thomas Germain in 1733, sold in November 1996 for US$ 10,287,500, triple the former record?

PICTURE OF THE DAY

A pod of hippopotamuses in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, the southernmost of three national parks in the valley of the Luangwa River. Hippo pods generally number up to about 40 individuals. Hippos spend most of their time in shallow water, rarely coming out of that depth. Most hippos that look as though they are floating are in fact standing or lying on the bottom.
