P!nk

My back hurts like crazy. I think I over exercised again. Damn. Also I think there's a midterm tomorrow. Double damn. Whatever, life is good. My MCAT books came in the mail yesterday (and my clothes today! whoot whoot). Why does it cost so much money to prepare for a stupid five hour test? So the MCAT has five sections which means that you spend one hour on each section. The weird thing is, instead of selling all of the sections together in one big fatty book, they decided to divide up the sections, sell each book individually, and charge $49.99 for each book. I hate money. I mean, I'd love to have more of it, but I hate how it controls our actions.

Why do flamingos stand on one leg? I remember my cousins asked me this question a few years back when we went to San Diego Zoo. I didn't have an answer for them. Guess what? No one knows for sure. Scientists have done studies (seriously they have too much time on their hands because who cares? they can stand on whatever foot they want to) and they infer that the reason why flamingos stand on one leg is because they need to regulate their body temperature. Let me explain this differently. Sometimes when people are cold, they stick their hands inside their sweatshirts to stay warm. It's kind of like that. The whole surface area to volume ratio is going on, but I'd rather not go into those details. Some people say that when they lift their leg it drys it or if they lift their leg they look more like a tree so they can catch fish more easily. While that could be true, the most important reason is temperature regulation.
