Elephant Fact # 20: Male elephants become
completely independent at around the age of fourteen.
I
felt a little guilty for not updating for the month of August, so this is going
to be a fairly short one.
I
was going through some of my old files the other day and I found this comic
that I made in Year 10 for Biology—it’s supposed to explain the functions of
each of the organelles in a cell.
I
guess I’m just putting it on here because I’m currently out of (usable)
cartoons at the moment, so this is just a filler. I think you have to download
it to actually be able to read it, though. At this stage I’d normally comment
on the outta sight enthusiasm levels of my younger self—and then I realize that
not that much has actually changed.
Oh,
I just scanned through my files and found this screen clipping—I was browsing
my Inbox one day and then bam!—my mother.

In
other news, Geoffrey Rush visited our school today. Yes, that one. It was
because he won the 2012 Australian of the Year Award, which meant that he was
conducting a tour of sorts of various schools and we so happened to be one of
them. Seeing him in real life was such a surreal experience—it was as if the TV
suddenly woke up and started talking. That happened to me only once before, and
I was pretty sure that I was tripping nuts at the time.
But
wow. I think I’m still a little
starstruck, to be honest.
In
a while, crocodile,

Unlucky Elephant
