Here is another drawing I made this week. Hope you like it! I'm going to post new ones soon.

Cells, chromosomes, etc.
Did you know that the body is made up of smaller living things called cells? A cell is like a small factory that manufactures more cells just like itself. It continues to manufacture cells until the body is at full growth. A full grown human body is composed of about 100 trillion cells.
Do you know how much information a SINGLE cell contains? If all the information contained in the genes of a single cell were written in books, that information would fill a thousand books of six hundred pages each.
Did you know that each cell has a nucleus and in the nucleus are chromosomes that contain your genes? Now, consider this. If all the chromosomes of an average body were removed, they could be placed in a cube of only one cubic inch in volume. However, if the chromosomes in the cube were uncoiled and laid end to end, they would reach from Earth to the sun eight hundred times, a distance of seventy-five billion miles (121,000,000,000 km).

The second picture was accidental. I scanned it for black and white and the light-colored lines didn't show up. Well, I just thought of posting it up because it looked cool. Hehe!

A new book...
I got bored with the last book I was reading, so I picked up a new book to read. I guess I'm not ready to go back to anthropomorphic animals yet. This book is not new to me, by the way. I've read it before. But I want to read it again. I forget things easily. So I read it again to remember what I forgot.
This book comes before the Lord of the Rings. This is where the Ring was found by Bilbo Baggins, Frodo's uncle. Well, that's all I'm gonna say. I'm not gonna spoil it for you.

Fill your head with books. Again.
I just finished "The Arctic Incident". It was really cool. I'm going to read the "Pearls of Lutra" from Redwall. It gets boring when you read a series continually, so I read a new book before I continue reading through the series. Well, that's for today. I'm off to practice playing piano now.

Read, Read, Read
I am currently reading "Artemis Fowl and The Arctic Incident". It is really fun. Though I always have to get a dictionary to find out the meaning of the words, It is still really fun. Lots of action.
