Dear mr forde,
Learned a pretty cool fact on yucky.com. I learned that it is not possible to drink to much water. I always though you could melt from it but your body says it's okay for you to have to much water so you will never melt! Had another great day in science see you tomarrow.

Hi Mr. Forde,
I searched up the funnybone on yucky.com and learned a few things. I learned that the funnybone is not a bone at all! It is actually a place where a nerve crosses the surface of the long bone near the elbow. Also, thank you for the great class today.

I learned about hiccups and the reason why you have it because you may have been drinking or eating too much or too fast, you can cure it by drinking water really fast which is one of the cures.

The eye gunk that you get after a long night's rest is from things dripping into your eyes. Some things like, sweat, oil, and mostly tears. When you're awake, your eyelashes work like windshield wipers, removing the tears. But when your asleep, they're not working! I didn't know any of this! Very interesting!
