What if we had no moon?

Have you ever wondered what earth would be like if there was no moon?
I've been wondering that and I found this series of six videos about it. Click on THIS link, but I warn you it's a little bit scary so..try it if you'd like.

Do you believe in mermaids?

Last night I watched a show on Animal Planet about a boy that found a real life mermaid. It was a documentary called "Mermaids: the Body Found". Some people think that this movie is not real. I think it is real. If it is real that would be pretty amazing. A lot of people used to think they were just fairy tales but the show might prove them wrong.

Check out this link to see the show I am talking about:
Do you think Mermaids are real???

Herkimer Diamond Mining

A few days ago I went mining for Herkimer Diamonds. It was fun and I found some big ones and some small ones.
What are Herkimer Diamonds you ask???
They are not real diamonds but they are form of quartz crystal. They are not as rare as real diamonds but they are still a bit hard to find. The most amazing thing about them is that they are older than dinosaurs!!!

A beautiful specimen I found!
