hear me, hear me! this is Violet. Happy Belated Fourth!!! in honor of that, i will talk about patriotic...stuff. like, did you know, that Thomas Edison DIDN'T invent the lightbulb? some of you might know this. he just improved it. and, have you heard of Bessemer's Process? it's the way to make steel. you make iron red hot, and blow on it until it is white hot. colors colors every where! well, it was supposed to be named after the man who figured that out. well, when Bessemer tried to get a patent on his idea, so that no one could 'steel' it, the man who had really invented got angry. he claimed to have invented it five years before that. if you want to know more, than... ... ... ... look it up! ;)

and to top off Veruca's joke (i got this one from MIke Teavee):

a bond walks into a barbershop. she is wearing some big older headphones and listening to something on her portable cd player. the barber looks at her head phones and tells her that if she wants her hair cut, she will have to take them off. she tells him over and over again, almost panicking that she CAN NOT take them off. finally, he rolls his eyes, and rips the headphones off of her head. he starts to cut her hair. but then, five minutes after, her head slumps to the side. he told her to pick her head back up. she didn't respond. he told her again, and he got no response. he looks at the blond and sees that she's dead. he picks up the headphones that are still playing and listens to them. he hears: "Breath in, breath out. breath in, breath out."
