Indestructible Creatures Flatworms

Have you heard of a Flatworm?

They range in size from a grain of rice to a foot long, damn that would be a long ass worm. They are leaf-shaped creatures that usually live in water, many of them have an incredible ability to regenerate or regrow their body parts.

Now if these worms are chopped in half each half will become a whole new worm. In experiments scientists have even cut a flatworm into a hundred tiny parts and every part grew into a new worm.

Technical stuff The flatworms, flat worms, Platyhelminthes, Plathelminthes, or platyhelminths are a phylum of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrates

In other family news I have Leo here all day as he sill feels sick but I can tell he is improving, I took him to a doctor this morning who said it is just a bug and he should be ok tomorrow. His mother has been feeling unwell today herself. Also Blain is off school with the same thing. I hope I don’t end up with it.

Did you know No:7

Hello everyone, if any of my readers are in the area of America that have been affected by storms and flooding, I truly hope you are well and safe.

Here in my area it has been cool and overcast we had some rain this morning but not much.

Little Leo had the day off school he wasn’t well last night and today as well.

I went to my aqua class and then to see podiatrist to have my toenails cut and my diabetic foot check, all is good.

Last Friday night after not being able to get hold of her brother my mum at last received a phone call from him, he is in the Philippines till the end of the month.

Anyway here are this weeks did you know facts…………………

Swedish people are the biggest users of tomato sauce/ketchup in the world

Candles burn more slowly and evenly with minimum wax drippings if they are placed in the freezer for an hour before using them.

More than a third of all adults are believed to hit the “snooze” button every morning, on average three times before getting up………….NOT ME

Bug zappers as in the high voltage cages that attract insects to an ultraviolet light, then kill them by electrocution increase the likelihood that you will be bitten by mosquitoes, as the ratio of attraction to kills isn’t great.

Skateboards were invented in 1963, however, inline skates also called rollerblades have been around since the 1930’s

Five things Friday No:4

It’s Friday and so I am doing five things Friday, the day didn’t start out too good as I over slept then when I was dropping Leo off at school I misjudged and side swiped the gate and got green paint on the car.

I sent Tim a text and he went on about complaining to the school because I told him the gate moved and that was why I hit the gate but I don’t know how much it moved it did move a bit but not a lot.

So this weeks five things are:

Green paint

Car polish

Lost brooch

A new top

Red hair dye (for Leo)
