IPod was named Invention of the year by Time Magazine and the reason was pretty obvious; its pretty. IPod has achieved the balance of ease, portability, and style and I think these are the primary reason why the little gadget has the seventy percent share in digital music player sales in the United States alone. And what better way to express ourselves than just pouring our list of favorite music in our IPod? That would be the accessories that come with the package.

Headphones and Headsets

Though the white ear bud headphones that come with your IPod looks slick and cool, they are just the beginning. There are dozens of headphones oozing with style and technology that will speak to the individual preference. Why not try noise-canceling or sound-isolating headphones for distraction-free listening. Or waterproof headphones whenever there’s a pool party or a day at the beach.

Cables and Docks

Who says the IPod only speaks to you? With the right cables, you can connect your iPod to your home stereo so you can impress friends with that crisp-sounding music on your playlist or to your home theater so you can watch videos on the big screen with the family. When the IPods gets an all day duty, the docks will provide you a convenient home base for charging and syncing.

Armbands

For the gym buffs who dislike the Top 40 radio offerings at the gym, an armband will turn your IPod into that sweet escape whenever you workout. First, find the armband that fits your iPod and your taste then just strap it on, press Play, and hit that treadmill.

Cases

An IPOd case shouldn’t only just offer protection from dust, moisture, or fingerprints; it should go with your personality. There are countless casing colors, material, and design available in the market ready to synch with your style.

Power and Car Accessories

One of the greatest match-up in music entertainment is the car and your IPod. The feeling of having to sing along with your favorite tune in your car (without embarrassing yourself and your listener) is a freedom in self-expression. Keep your iPod juiced up with power accessories for your or auto. If your car doesnt include a built-in iPod connection, you can listen to your tunes from your cars stereo with some simple accessories.

Speakers

The one thing that set Music apart from other entertainment medium is that, you can take it almost everywhere with ease and simplicity. Wherever you like to listen to your favorite music ” living room or backyard, office or beach party, anywhere ” theres an iPod speaker for the job and most of them include docks that charge your iPod as they play, and many come with remote controls.

Most mammals enjoy receiving gifts. They love notes and forget-me-nots. Thanks to the cold, electrical grid of fiber optics cable crisscrossing our globe, we can now send all our friends and enemies birthday ecards. Send what, you say! Send ecards. On their birthdays. Dont rely on the postal system to get anything right (though they do a pretty god job of it). Cut your stress time in half and free up some of your precious time. Wasting time sending a birthday car two weeks early? Forget it! You can send ecards on the frigid day!

Try as you might, you just can’t go faster than the speed of light. And guess how fast emails and stuff go. Thats right ” pretty fast. Now, Ive seen a few of the more popular one ” and its like watching the last trailer of the new Jim Carey movie. Usually. There are some really lame ones out there. Nothing is perfect, but seriously, guys, can we try a little harder?

Of course, all you can hope to get is maybe a good chuckle. The chances that birthday ecards will make people fall down laughing are pretty thin. These days, thats a tall order. No much is going to physically get people down in the aisles and rolling. That being said, though, there is a number of keen clips thatll get your recipient on the sunny side of life.

It is totally crazy ridiculous how easy they are to send. Have I said this already? Maybe I have. But it doesnt matter because it bears repeating. Theyre easy to send and ” get this ” theyre free! I mean, not all ecards are free, but some of the funnier sites have free clips. So two major stumbling blocks have been hurdled with the grace off an Olympian: cost and ease of use.

These days keeping a massive logbook of whose birthday it is is like carrying around a sword for self-defense. Most of us hear about someones birthday on the day. Thats super red alert, panic time and time to get something funny fired across the fiber-optic cables. Save the trees, save the ink creatures ” stop destroying the earth and send an ecards instead. What red-blooded mammal wants to do-in his environment? Be a human being and send birthday ecards! The future of the planet depends on your good senses.

Question: Which is stronger — concrete or bone?

Answer: Bone

Useless Fact: Human bones can actually resist 40 times more stress than concrete. Don’t believe it is true? Then picture a piece of concrete the size of a bone and imagine how easily it would break.

Question: What bird lays its egg in another bird’s nest?

Answer: Cuckoo, Cowbird, Whyda, Honeyguide and Black-headed Duck

Useless Fact: These birds, called brood parasites, lay their eggs in another bird’s nest and let the other bird parents feed and raise their chicks. The “egg abandoner” is then free to mate again and lay more eggs in another nest. The cuckoo is the best known brood parasite and an expert in the art of cruel deception. Its strategy involves stealth, surprise and speed. The mother removes one egg laid by the host mother, lays her own and flies off with the host egg in her bill. The whole process takes barely ten seconds. Cuckoos parasitize the nests of a large variety of bird species and carefully mimic the colour and pattern of their own eggs to match that of their hosts. Each female cuckoo specializes on one particular host species. How the cuckoo manages to lay eggs to imitate each host’s eggs so accurately is one of nature’s main mysteries.

Question: What is the largest invertebrate?

Answer: Colossal Squid

Useless Fact: A species of squid reported to be significantly larger than the giant squid, is called the Colossal squid, officially named Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni. In February 2007 a live colossal squid was brought to the surface in Antarctic waters by a New Zealand fishing boat. This enormous squid, which was determined to be a male of the species, was 10 meters (32.8 feet), and weighed 450 kilograms (992 pounds), making it the largest squid (the largest invertebrate) ever captured. What is even more astonishing is that, from what scientists know about squid species in general, there is great sexual dimorphism in squids, with females being significantly larger than the males. If that holds true for the Colossal squid, this male specimen that was captured could very well be dwarfed by a much larger female of the species.

Question: What does the first letter of a radio station’s call sign mean?

Answer: The location of the station

Useless Fact: Generally, in the United States, call signs begin with K west of the Mississippi River, and W to the east.

Question: Where was the first McD0nald’s located?

Answer: Arcada, California

Useless Fact: Brothers Dick and Mac McDonald open a hot dog stand called the Airdome in Arcadia, California. In 1940, the brothers move to San Bernardino, California, on Route 66. After noting that almost all of their profits came from hamburgers, the brothers close down the restaurant for several months in 1948 to implement their innovative “Speedee Service System”, a streamlined assembly line for hamburgers.

Question: What is the largest insect?

Answer: Acteon Beetle or Longhorn Beetle

Useless Fact: There are different ways of measuring the size of an insect, most people would consider the largest insect to be the bulkiest and in that case the largest insect is the Acteaeom Beetle from South America. The male beetles can be 9cms long by 5cms wide by 4cms thick. If you want to measure largest by overall size, check out the South American Longhorn Beetle (Titanus giganteus) these giants can be over 16cms in body length (not including antennae) One other beetle, Dynastes hercules is also well known for reaching 16cms in length though it is not nearly as heavy. The longest insect in the world is the Stick-Insect (Pharnacia serritypes), the females of which can be over 36cm long.
