incredible animals

GIRAFFE

Hey guys. Do you want to know about the giraffe. It's an incredible animal. It is the tallest animal in the world. An adult giraffe can grow up to 6 metres tall and can look into a two storied window without even standing on his toetips. It's heart is 0.6 metres long and it's lungs canhold 55 litres of air. A giraffe's neck weighs about 250 kgs. A giraffe 's leg is so long. It is 2 metres long. The back leg looks shorter than the front legs but they are about the same length. Isn't it great.

OWL

Guys, are you scared of owls. If you are, listen.The owl is a very cool bird. It is a nocturnal bird which is awake at night. It is like a sentinel of the place where it lives. It is on it's prowl, in search for food and keeps a watch at night. We people are scared of an owl's hoot, but if men can speak then owl's can hoot, they have the right. Anyway, an owl's hoot is sweeter than a peacock's call. Then why are we afraid of owls? So now don't get scared if you listen to an owl's hoot.

ROALD DAHL

Roald Dahl was born in Llandaff Cardiff, Wales in 1916, to Norwegian parents, Harald Dahl and Sofie Magdalene Dahl (née Hesselberg). Dahl's family had moved from Norway and settled in Cardiff in the 1880s. Roald was named after the polar explorer Roald Amundsen, a national hero in Norway at the time. He spoke Norwegian at home with his parents and sisters. Dahl and his sisters were christened at the Norwegian Church, Cardiff, where their parents worshipped.

In 1920, when Roald was four, his seven-year-old sister, Astri, died from appendicitis. About a month later, his father died of pneumonia at the age of 57, following grief from his daughter's death. Dahl's mother, however, decided not to return to Norway to live with her relatives, but to remain in Wales since it had been her husband's wish to have their children educated in British schools.

Dahl first attended The Cathedral School, Llandaff. At the age of eight, he and four of his friends were caned by the headmaster after putting a dead mouse in a jar of sweets at the local sweet shop, which was owned by a "mean and loathsome" old woman called Mrs. Pratchett (wife of blacksmith David Pratchett). This was known amongst the five boys as the "Great Mouse Plot of 1924". This was Roald's own idea.

Thereafter, he was sent to several boarding schools in England, including Saint Peter's in Weston-super-Mare. His parents had wanted Roald to be educated at a British public school and at the time, due to a then regular boat link across the Bristol Channel, this proved to be the nearest. His time at Saint Peter's was an unpleasant experience for him. He was very homesick and wrote to his mother almost every day, but never revealed to her his unhappiness, being under the pressure of school censorship. Only when she died did he find out that she had saved every single one of his letters, in small bundles held together with green tape. He later attended Repton School in Derbyshire, where, according to his novel Boy, a friend named Michael was viciously caned by Geoffrey Fisher, the man who later became the Archbishop of Canterbury. This caused Dahl to "have doubts about religion and even about God".^[1]

According to David Hein, in his 2008 book Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury 1945-1961, "Dahl's biographer, Jeremy Treglown, has pointed out, however, that the incident Dahl describes took place in May 1933, one year after Fisher left Repton."

Dahl was very tall, reaching 6'6" (1.98m) in adult life,^[2] and he was good at sports, being made captain of the school Fives and Squash teams, and also playing for the football team. This helped his popularity. He developed an interest in photography. During his years there, Cadbury, a chocolate company, would occasionally send boxes of new chocolates to the school to be tested by the pupils. Dahl himself apparently used to dream of inventing a new chocolate bar that would win the praise of Mr. Cadbury himself, and this proved the inspiration for him to write his third book for children, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Throughout his childhood and adolescent years, Dahl spent his summer holidays in his parents' native Norway, mostly enjoying the fjords. His childhood is the subject of his autobiographical work, Boy: Tales of Childhood.

After finishing his schooling, he spent three weeks hiking through Newfoundland with a group called the Public Schools' Exploring Society (now known as BSES Expeditions). In July 1934, he joined the Shell Petroleum Company.

Following two years of training in the UK, he was transferred to Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika (now Tanzania). Along with the only two other Shell employees in the entire territory, he lived in luxury in the Shell House outside Dar-es-Salaam, with a cook and personal servants. While out on assignments supplying oil to customers across Tanganyika, he encountered black mambas and lions, amongst other wildlife.^[1]

Postwar life

[edit] Family

Patricia Neal and Roald Dahl

Dahl married American actress Patricia Neal on 2 July 1953 at Trinity Church in New York City. Their marriage lasted for 30 years and they had five children: Olivia (who died of measles encephalitis, aged seven), Tessa, Theo, Ophelia, and Lucy. He dedicated The BFG to Olivia.

When he was four months old, Theo Dahl was severely injured when his baby carriage was hit by a taxi in New York City. For a time, he suffered from hydrocephalus, and as a result, his father became involved in the development of what became known as the "Wade-Dahl-Till" (or WDT) valve, a device to alleviate the condition.^[8][9]

In 1965, Neal suffered three burst cerebral aneurysms while pregnant with their fifth child, Lucy; Dahl took control of her rehabilitation and she eventually relearned to talk and walk.^[10] They were divorced in 1983 following a turbulent marriage, and he subsequently married Felicity ("Liccy") d'Abreu Crosland (born 12 December 1938), who was 22 years his junior.

Ophelia Dahl is director and co-founder (with doctor Paul Farmer) of Partners in Health, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing health care to some of the most impoverished communities in the world. Lucy Dahl is a screenwriter in Los Angeles. Tessa's daughter Sophie Dahl (who was the inspiration for Sophie, the main character in her grandfather's book The BFG) is a model and author who remembers Roald Dahl as "a very difficult man – very strong, very dominant ... not unlike the father of the Mitford sisters sort of roaring round the house with these very loud opinions, banning certain types – foppish boys, you know – from coming round."

[edit] Death and legacy

Roald Dahl died in November 1990 at the age of 74 of a rare blood disease, myelodysplastic anaemia (sometimes called "pre-leukemia"), at his home, Gipsy House in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, and was buried in the cemetery at the parish church of Saints Peter and Paul. According to his granddaughter, the family gave him a "sort of Viking funeral". He was buried with his snooker cues, some very good burgundy, chocolates, HB pencils and a power saw. In his honour, the Roald Dahl Children's Gallery was opened at Buckinghamshire County Museum in nearby Aylesbury.

In 2002, one of Cardiff's modern landmarks, the historic Oval Basin plaza, was re-christened "Roald Dahl Plass". "Plass" means plaza in Norwegian, a nod to the acclaimed late writer's Norwegian roots. There have also been calls from the public for a permanent statue of him to be erected in the city.

Dahl's charitable commitments in the fields of neurology, haematology and literacy have been continued by his widow since his death, through the Roald Dahl Foundation. In June 2005, the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre opened in Great Missenden to celebrate the work of Roald Dahl and advance his work in literacy.

In 2008, the U.K. charity Booktrust and Children's Laureate Michael Rosen inaugurated The Roald Dahl Funny Prize, an annual award to authors of humorous children's fiction.^[11]

It's Great

Hubble telescope's top 8 greatest space photographs:




The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture takenby the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across.






The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose technical name is Mz3, resembles an ant when observed using ground-based telescopes. The nebula lies within ourgalaxy b et ween 3,000 and 6,000 light years from Earth.






In third place is Nebula NGC 2392, called Eskimo because it looks like a face
surrounded by a furry hood. The hood is, in fact, a ring of com et -shaped objects
flying away from a dying star. Eskimo is 5,000 light years from Earth.







At four is the Cat's Eye Nebula




The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula, 5,500 light years away,
described as 'a bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements'.






Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting. It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way.






The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation.







The Trifid Nebula. A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years from here, it is
where new stars are being born.

Hey, this is my second book review. It is about a book Joody Moody. A girl called Joody moody is fed up with her bro. and school. She has got many moods. To get famous, a bad mood, a doctor mood and many more. Her dream is to become like Elizabeth Blackwell.( first women doctor.) Her teacher Mr.Todd gives Judy and the class many projects. Her best friends are Frank( very good in science.),Jessica Finch.( best in spelling.) All her friends and parents had become famouse but she hadn't. Even her brother Stink had become famous. She tried her best but couln't. As a matter of fact, she never gave up. She tried her best. And she does it. But the fun part is that she didn't become famous for other to get to know her name, she became famous from inside her heart as she helped the hospital, but by keeping it a secret. Then she also tries to save the world as their teacher says that we should not throw stuff on the floor just like that and a very important point that don't cut trees, grow them. She tried her best and did it in the start, but then, she couldn't stand it any more as it was very tiering and she couldn't do so much of work. Afterwords she heard about the GIRAFFE trophie.( When you help the world to grow more trees so she made a class activity to collect bottles and grow plants in them. In a month their class collected 389 bottles. in 3 months their class grew all the plants. At the end their principle called Joody to her office and class 3 T to the auditorium. Then their principle came on the stage. She called Joody and gave her the great GIRAFFE trophie and a t-shirt on which it was writen 'save plants'. Their are many more but it is too much i think. But I love this book.

Magic!!!!!

Hey guys! This is a great magic trick. First take a paper and pen (well, it will be better if you would). Now the trick starts.

1.Think of a number between 1-10. But don't write it on the sheet till i ask you to.

2. Now multiply that number by nine.

3. If there are 2 numbers in the answer, you gotta' add both.

4. Now subtract the result by 5. Write the answer you got onto the paper.

5. Decide an alphabet for the number like 1 for A and 2 for B.
eg- if you have got 'F', then the number will be 6.

6. Now write down on the paper, a country's name that starts with that alphabet.

7. Write down a mammals name that starts with the 2nd letter of the country's name.

8. Now write down the colour of that mammal.

That's it. Now you should have written 4 things on the paper.
Hmmm..... Let me think....
