Nothing to see here! We definitely aren't raising a Sharptooth in the Great Valley. Nope, nope, nope!

Now I have THREE mouths to feed?!?!

I’ve always been curious about the possibility of life beyond Earth, so SETI research fascinates me. When it comes to UFO/alien sightings, though, I’m definitely a skeptic—but I enjoy reading about supposed encounters anyway, haha! Just NOT online where everything goes downhill into weird conspiracy nonsense really fast. I like the simple/classic UFO rumors from decades ago!

Seriously, though, can people just face the fact that Roswell, everyone’s favorite, got a good, hard debunking back in the 90s? https://www.nytimes.com/1994/09/18/us/wreckage-in-the-desert-was-odd-but-not-alien.html

Mo-o-o-o have really been thinking about what you said here, rainbow. I've sometimes thought of the same thing as you, "Is there really life like us beyond the mysterious beyond?"

Ever since this rainbow swimmer first pondered this question, I always thought "Well...of course! There should be!"

Like, I'm thinking there is no way that we are special, the only place in the universe to have life. And as Mo-o-o learned mo-o-ore about the basics of astronomy, and the awesome things that astronomers have discovered over the past decades...Mo-o-o still thinks the same way.

Like can you believe it? There used to be a time where exoplanets, aka planets found outside of our solar system, was nothing more than just a theory! A theory that should be super duper obviously correct, but unfortunately without the technology to properly find them back then, nobody would know the answer for sure. But then... a huge groundbreaking discovery in 1995, where an exoplanet dubbed 51 Pegasi B was found orbiting around a star similar to ours! And it doesn't even end there...it was a planet of similar size to Jupiter, but literally somehow orbiting quite close to its sun, basically being a "Hot Jupiter" type planet.

Also, remember Kepler 22b? Yeah, that Earth-like planet discovered for like...quite a long while at this point. The fact that there are earth-like planets like Kepler 22b should provide a very strong basis that there is literally extraterrestrial alien life out there. And if we are gonna be real with ourselves, we are literally aliens as well in this vast and endlessly expanding universe to those other lifeforms out there, wherever they may be lurking! And this isn't calling you out Mu-u-ud Brother, but Mo-o-o will say that those that think that there is no such thing as aliens or other intelligent life out there is quite naive. And now that the fishy mentions that... I'm curious why nobody mentions trying to find life in general...doesn't have to be "big brain" like the humans that we are right now that have evolved from monkeys. But then again...it would be much easier to find intelligent life first since they can send out any sort of transmission or signals. If we somehow had telescopes that magically zoomed past the atmosphere of an earth-like planet, then all of that would be moot anyway if we could directly see what types of life inhabited those planets, if any.

As for the UFO/alien sightings thing...never really cared about them lol. And besides...Mo-o-o feels like the concept is quite outdated anyway. Imo, we should have the foresight to know that if aliens were to actually travel to distant planets, they would use a traveling vehicle that is much mo-o-ore efficient than a traveling saucer disk, is the fishy right, Rainbow?!?

And while Mo-o-o do full heartedly will say that the government can and will lie/keep secrets from the public, the Roswell incident seems to be fairly debunked as far as Mo-o-o can tell. Were there lies? For sure. Aliens? Doubt.

Yep, yep, yep! I'm glad to know Charles Kimbrough was able to live a long life!

And yes... Yo-o-o-ou will listen to this so-o-ong because, Mo-o-o-o say so-o-o-o! Sayyyy so-o-o, say say, so-o-o!

Mo-o-o always lo-o-ove a go-o-od movie/story that details a teacher out there who cares so-o-o much for the welfare and success of their students. I've always appreciated teachers that care and make the journey of learning a worthwhile one, but once Mo-o-o saw this movie called "Freedom Writers" in high school, my respect and love really skyrocketed from there.

So-o-o-o, for today, Mo-o-o is watching this movie called "The Ron Clark Story", based on a true story. As the title suggests, it details the journey of a man named Ron Clark, who taught at an elementary school before going to teach in New York City in the neighborhood of Harlem. He did not like the idea of a boring education, and so when noticing his students are quite bored and uninterested in wanting to learn, making it his sole mission to get them excited and raise their test scores in the process as well.

The story goes further than the movie as well. Eventually, not wanting to just change the lives of one class, but for an entire school, he decides to open one himself! So eventually, he moves to Atlanta and opens one from a building that he converted from an abandoned factory. It is the Ron Clark Academy, a middle school, and it has been consistently been churning out some of the best test grades, and some of the most motivated and great learners ever!

It was founded in 2007, so 1 year after the film, haha.

I will have to note though, it is a private school, with a tuition of about $18,000 per year. They also accept a very limited amount of students per year, around 32 I believe. So unfortunately, this school wouldn't be for everyone. And some of the concepts and ideas in practice at Ron Academy may not work too well at an actual public school, but at the very least Ron Clark's heart is in the right place, and they do constantly offer teacher workshops to external teachers to inspire them and teach them about new techniques that they can bring back to their own classrooms.

But anyway... here is the movie!

P.S: Why does his academy literally look like a real life Hogwarts wizard school? Like it even has dragons!
The video below will give you a bit of a tour of that.

The correct word was Worms! It was a game that Mo-o-o-o and his older brother used to play together all the time on the Xbox 360 back then!

It's super duper fun, but it's especially fun to play in multiplayer with family or Mu-u-ud Bro-o-others, yep, yep, yep!

The basic premise is this... yo-o-ou have a team of worms that you and other plays get. The fun part starts with naming them, and the other fun part comes when you get to choose from an assortment of weapons in a turn-based game, and the objective is to eliminate the other worms using whatever you have! Could be rocket launchers, grenades, airstrikes, and... how about exploding sheep?

Okay, this should be an easier one...

On an LBT video, I saw a comment about Charles Kimbrough’s background in musical theater, and I was curious about what he did there, being someone who only knew him from cartoons.

He starred as the male rainbowface in The Stone of Cold Fire, wow!
Sad to hear he died in January of last year, may he rest in peace!

Quite classy song, by the way.
