I was doing some background research on the seven continents this evening and while skimming through the Wikipedia article on Antarctica, I saw a picture of Emperor penguins. I’ve always been interested in Emperor penguins ever since I learnt that they were the tallest penguins. So when I saw the aforementioned photo, I thought to myself, How tall can they actually get? So I clicked through to the relevant article and discovered that they can reach heights of 122 centimetres/48 inches/4 feet! That’s friggin’ tall! I’m 5 feet. Imagine a penguin nearly as tall as me! That’s both a frightening and exciting thought.
So anyway, I skimmed down the Emperor penguin article page just looking at photos, hoping there would be a photo of a human next to an Emperor penguin. And I found one! The penguin wasn’t an adult, though, but a baby penguin is the next best thing.
Earlier this year (or maybe towards the end of last year), the Backstreet Boys announced they were teaming up New Kids On The Block. Then they announced that they were gonna do a world tour together. For months I’ve been waiting for an email to appear in my inbox that announced that BSB would be coming to Australia.
Today was that day.
I have never, ever been so excited to see an email in my inbox. “NKOTBSB is Coming to Australia!” the subject line read. So I opened the email and instead of reading the email word by word as I normally would, I scrolled down for what I was waiting for…
Apparently, the Easter Island heads are not just heads, but are in fact part of a whole body of a statue!

Going to this tonight with some friends. Soooooo excited to see Ken Davis!
