"Really? Thats cool! So that means they do teach history in muggle school. Did you know there is a bird that barks instead of sings! The Antpitta avis canis Ridgley is a bird that looks like a stuffed duck on stilts and barks like a dog." Penelope replied laughing a little.

"Well girls blink nearly twice as much as guys. I'm guessing thats because of the amount of make up us girls wear, amount of eyelashes, or something else." Penelope said thoughtfully. "Makes me wonder why.. oh! Did you know that Cleopatra married two of her brothers? Its totally ew."

Penelope sat there a bit fickle with men back then. "No offense to you Brett because we've come along since then, but men back then I guess couldn't control themselves. I mean ok they wanted to populate the earth, but multiple partners. Its just sad, but then again its their culture. 90 kids.. I don't think you can keep track of who is who!"

"Yea, and don't take this the wrong way, but most of those women probably considered it a great priveledge to have the pharoah's baby. I mean they worshiped the pharoah as a god on earth."

"Yeah.." Penelope replied. "Oh! Sea captains used to keep pigs on board. In the old days they believed that when they are shipwrecked.. pigs always swam toward the nearest shore."
