The UK and Éire are the only countries in the EU to drive on the left. (Although if you are a European, that is pretty obvious!!)

Éire is Ireland, correct?

I just got around to responding now

Éire is pronounced like "air-ah" and most Irish only use it while speaking the language also, I assume if you use the word Éire on a worldwide site, no one but you and the Irish will have a clue what you're on about XD

The average North Korean child is five to eight inches shorter than a child of the exact same age and gender in South Korea because most North Korean children are starving, malnourished, and do not have access to proper health care.

I think I have the same planner as you. :U

LASER is an acronym, which stands for
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

You have the same planner as me... o.o Does that mean we go to the same school...? If we do- do you happen to live in England and go to an all-girls school.

♡ ♰ ♥

I don't think it's the same school, probably just the same planner provider-people. :0
I'm pretty sure the covers and inside stuff is all different, but once you get to the actual weekly spaces/days to plan stuff with the facts and all of that, it's the same.

A dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours.
This one makes me sad. I love dragonflies. :C

oh whoops I aways thought it was more known than that, becuase I saw it quite a bit when I was younger. Only use it when writing occasionally.

I know this is kinda poop but:

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid and is self replicating

DNA is also found in the shape of a double helix, and contains the bases Cytosine + Guanine, Thymine + Adenine (They are found as those pairings in the DNA double helix).

Here's also RNA, which has a different sugar from DNA, called Ribonucleic acid. RNA is only found in a single helix and has a shorter chain than DNA. The bases in RNA are slightly different, they are Cytosine + Guanine, Uracil + Adenine.

Just thought I'd add a wee bit, since I know of this :L

*the daddy longs legs spider has no venom at all actually,nd most tarantula spiders venom aren't harmful to humans

The daddy long legs is actually very venomous, more so than any other spider. However, it isn't dangerous to humans because it's mouth (or is it the fangs) are too small to bite a human.
A daddy long legs is an matchbox, but not a spider.

And you have several types of RNA. mRNA and tRNA, I'm sure there are more but that's all I have got up to in biology at my level.

blood groups A and B are co dominant which is how we have the blood group AB. Group O is recessive.
