Fleas rock...
The flea can jump 350 times its body length (over seven inches high and thirteen
inches long). It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. When jumping, the flea accelerates
50 times faster than a space shuttle. Without its outer shell it would get smashed by the velocity of the jump.

Happy Halloween!
Halloween's roots can be traced back to Celtic culture in Ireland.
According to their "Druid" religion, November 1st was New Years' on their calendar. The celebration would begin
on October 31st, and last into the following day. The spirits of all who died in the prior year would rise up and roam the
earth on this night. This is an evil night
when spirits roamed the streets and villages. Lord Samhain, the lord of Darkness, would arrive in search of the spirits to
take them to the underworld. Today, Halloween as it is currently celebrated with costumes, trick or treat, and superstitions,
takes from this Druid Holiday.
