Of Animals & Pillows XD

One day, while I was studying for STPM, Ben was doing some homework in my room (imagine that, its holiday and after UPSR and he's following parent's advice to brush up, how nice~ haha)
He sometimes does his work when I'm doing my work, I'm quite fine with it. So, I was just reading...studying...revising...and then Ben starts reading:

Many animals use pillow so that they cannot be seen easily. The most common pillow is the use of colours. An octopus can change from black to white in less than half a second. Many pillows and reptiles can change their colours too. For example, the skin of a pillow can turn green, yellow, cream or dark brown.

One reason why animals use pillow is to protect themselves. Insects are hunted as food by many enemies such as birds, frogs and lizards. To avoid being seen easily, many insects have pillows on their wings and bodies. These pillows look like the leaves and flowers around them. Some insects even look like pillows and sticks. Some beetles cover themselves with mud, sand or chalk.

Pillow is also important to animals that hunt for prey. They must not be seen as they approach and attack their prey. Otherwise their "food" will escape. Polar bears have white fur that match the pillow. They even use their pillows to hide their black noses. The tiger's stripes and the leopard's spots look like pillows in the jungle. The crocodile looks like a piece of floating pillow in the water because its skin is rough and brown.

Sounds ridiculous isn't it? That's what I thought, and I couldn't help laughing listening to him. Haha~ Anyway, thank God for pillows! XD

Some Good Quotes :)


I got this in an email from my "angel", Karen (Yes SFers, like the angel-mortal thing in SF, but she's not in SF ;) )

Someone has written these beautiful words. Must read and try to
understand the deep meaning of it.
They are like the ten commandments to follow in life all the time.

1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but
it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

2] So why is a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small?
Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and
Move on.

3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes
years to write.

4] All things in life are temporary. If it is going well, enjoy it, they will
not last forever. If it is going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long
either.

5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond,
don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base
of Gold!

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from
above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when
GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than
losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and
sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed
for you.

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away
today's PEACE.

If you really enjoy this, please pass to others. It may brighten
someone's day...

Be blessed :)
