Some Thinks for You!

Okay, so this week I couldn't really focus on just one thing to talk about, considering that my mind was all over the map. I haven't thought of any one thing continuously, but a few things have been going through my head repeatedly for the past week. I think I'll just talk about two of them. My first thought is about school buses. I don't know who came up with the idea to make wearing a seat-belt part of the law, but allowed there to be an exception if you have over 50 children in one vehicle. Is this serious? The tall seats inside the bus do not help anything. Kids these days are crazy, and they will sit on top of the back rests, and on the floor as well. If my bus specifically ever gets in a crash, I could guarantee that people would be seriously injured. If you require them in one vehicle, they should be required in all vehicles. Now that I've covered that, I need to talk about this whole Pinocchio problem that's been taking up space in my brain. If Pinocchio says "my nose is about to grow" would it grow or not? Technically he's lying because he doesn't know if his nose is about to grow, but if it does grow then he'd be telling the truth. I don't know if I can figure this out. This is stressing me out! Feel free to comment below if you have an answer! That's all I have for you guys today. I hope to enjoyed reading and continue to read!

Quick Think of the Week

My first think goes out to my boyfriend Corey, for informing me that Queen Elizabeth the second owns a cruise ship that can only travel six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns. Now here's where my thinking comes in. If this cruise ship only gets six inches to every gallon of gas that it has, and the ship can hold 4,600 gallons of gas, that means the ship can travel 27,600 inches without running out of fuel. This equates to 2,300 feet. Considering that there are 5,280 feet in a mile, this would mean that the Queen's entire cruise ship can only travel 2.3 miles without running out of gas. Looks like they probably won't make it that far, and it's probably a little difficult to turn a cruise ship around. I'm sure the ship probably has multiple ways to keep the ship going. I read about it online, and apparently they can generate their own energy which they would need 50 people for. Other websites say that the ship can travel 10-12 days without stopping. However, assuming the information I chose to use is correct, this whole thing is pretty funny! It's almost shocking that they would only be able to go that far. I guess it's for the best that they have multiple ways to keep going! That's my quick think of the week, guys! Thanks for reading! I wonder what I'll write about next week!
