July 8, 2011

Word of the Day:
Obfuscate - to stupefy, confuse, or bewilder; to make darker; obscure or unclear.
The boy obfuscated the story instead of telling all of the details and the way it really happened.

Quote:
Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.
- James Dean

Fact:
If you have a small child, you probably don't want to let it get to close to a hippo. They can open their mouths wide enough to fit a four foot child inside!

Fact About the Day:
On July 8, 1951, Paris celebrated its 2,000th birthday, though it is much older. The history of Paris goes back to a Gallic tribe known as the Parisii who settled on an island in the middle of the Seine River around 250 B.C. Today Paris has a reputation for being the center of food, fashion, and culture and remains one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. It is also the home of many tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysees, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum.
