Clown Fish Unable to Hear?

Are Clown Fish becoming unable to hear? according to a recent study that the waters of which the Clownfish live are becoming more acidic due to the more CO2 the oceans are absorbing. Scientists did a study earlier study back in 2009 that if the acidity levels get to high, the Clownfish stop being able to sense their predators.

They tested this by taking a group of Clownfish, placing them in a small tube where there was a speaker at one end, and an open hole at the other, allowing escape. They tested this at today's acidity levels (390 ppm (part per million)) and at acidity levels over the next century if the CO2 absorption rate continues (600, 700, and 900 ppm). At todays levels, most Clownfish swum away from the speaker, but when the acidity levels where high, they started getting confused and some didn't even move at all, seemingly unable to sense anything.

How ever, the researchers said, if it took a few decades to reach the higher level acidity, then the fish could be able to adapt. But, most likely, researchers say that most corals (which the fish live in or near) could be in trouble, within this century.

Here's the report I used, feel free to read it here: Link

School

Ah... Great great... er... not so great school. I don't like the place, yet don't hate it either. It's a fun place for me. I love to learn and stuff but I'm not a big fan of doing work outside of school because school is where you learn, and you do homely things at home. But I don't exactly mind doing them...

Since I got nothing interesting or important else to say in this one

LOL Cats....

I dislike Lol Cats in general. Sure they're funny and I laugh but to think what the people have to do sometimes to get their cats to do the poses for the pictures is ridiculous... And where did the idea come from? It makes absoleutly no sense to me.

Video Game Playthroughs/Walkthroughs/Let's Play Shenanigans

So um... I watch a lot of these and i do a few of these myself (not that i'm any good) but uh... yeah here are some of the people i watch and who i watch; SSoHPKC, penguinz0, and other people like that. Uh I also do some of these, and I think i do an ok job. Not the greatest, not the worst. Somewhere inbetween. Oh well. Anyhow here's one of my videos. Enjoy I think... (P.S. this video was the first one i did ever)

And on that Bombshell, Good night.

Epic Rap Battles of History

Alright so those Up there (That way ^) are the latest and my personal favorite Epic Rap Battles of History. Which is made by nicepeter, a cool guy who plays music for a living. I find these entertaining and hilarious. It's pretty awesome... hehe....

Till next time

Minecraft

Alright so I thought I'd do a nerdy thing and explain Minecraft, or basically a very very very big sandbox game. There are all sorts of mods and texture packs and other stuff like that. The video I'm showing here is called Yogscast. It's about two guys (Lewis and Simon) playing Minecraft and doing Minecrafty things and they run into some er... difficulties. Any how if I get a video up I'll explain in that video. If not then I'll explain here too, so you start off in a randomly generated place in the world, with nothing. You have nothing at all and i'm very redundant. but anyhow you can build a house and go digging and go into dungeons! anyhow that's all for me.

See you 'round

Theft Shenanigans

Ok I'm not counting this as a post but this is something that bugs me slightly.

Someone stole my iPod. why? I dunno. It's not in my bag (unless it's a magical iPod that can dissapear (which it isn't)) or at my house, and i still have my earbuds that went with it... anyhow it just annoys me why someone would steal something like that. It doesn't make you look cooler, it just means you have something that you didn't used to have and you didn't pay for it. Ungreatful munchkins.... anyhow. my rant is over. and please return stuff you steal or borrow, everyone likes you more that way.
