The Very Secret files which are not so secret anymore since you have already unceremoniously opened the Top-Secret Envelope allocated to Spy 3.1419 2635.
Well Done.Applause.Obviously illiteracy is a growing epidemic. Woe.
Fact Files:
1.The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C
I have never ever truly grasped the true meaning of the Sun's heat. However, it is safe to say that after a pointless walk that we had during the camp under the Sun's extra enthusiasm in roasting Human Beans, the fact will never escape my mind again. Unless of course,the sun enjoys roasting brain cells as well.
2. Mount Everest is the reigning Mountain with a height of 8,848 meters
The first people to successfully ascent the mountain: Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay
I don't know how the hell they got up there but geezes i get a little weak kneed when i 2 storeys off the ground preparing to abseil down a green wall.Vanessa still does it best though with her catwalk against gravity.
3. The largest use of household water is to flush the toilet, and after that, to take showers and baths
I helped save the environment. I showered for a mere three-five minutes for the last two days and didn't go to the toilet much therefore i didn't flush too much either. GO WATER CONSERVATION. (The amount of water used after the camp shall not be included in the pure and good karma wave of saving humanity's fate)
4.Volcano eruptions are one of the loudest sounds on Earth and are over 272 dB.
3 Truth might as well been been erupting time and time again. We had a rocking Class Cheer and the Class Cheer ICs should be given a Grammy. Myra should be given a Grammy too now that i think of it because of her seriously best rendition of A Whole New World ever.
5. Parasites in the mud
AS i crawled through the obstacle course with mud all over the place. I rememberd about those parasites that live in the mud and use mud as a transmission so that it can drive into a skin of an animal and infect them. Apparently this has happened in countries where the farmers walk bare-footed in mud. More alarmingly, parasites can alter your mind. It can make you more neurotic(emotionally unstable) . See article. Damnit. We should all get tested for parasites.
6.The total number of stars in the universe is roughly 100 billion x 100 billion.
That's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, 10 thousand, billion, billion. Properly known as 10 sextillion. And that's a very conservative estimate. So all the stars i managed to see wasn't much. Yes although there was talk about being away from civilisation, civilisattion still reached us. Light pollution much? On the other hand, Venus was shining bright and that's something you don't get to see a lot in the city.
It actually feels good to be sore from all the excercise you know you have been doing. If there is one thing i missed its the red cheeks i had while i was there. Its au natural blusher and now my cheeks are kinda yellow again. Bummer.
I have to sign out before i drip my salivia on my key board. I am that tired.
