Giraffes often sleep for only 20 minutes in any 24 hours. They may sleep up to 2 hours (in spurts - not all at once), but this is rare. They never lie down.

Your body makes about two pints of spit every day. There are glands in your mouth that produce the spit. Spit is mostly water but it also contains chemicals that kill germs and pre-digest the food that you eat. There's also a little bit of urea and uric acid in it (same stuff that makes urine or pee). Spits biggest function is to help you digest the food that you eat. It also lubricates the mouth making food easier to chew and move through the throat to the stomach. As the spit dissolves the food in your mouth, chemicals are released onto your tongue. The taste buds on your tongue detect these chemicals and send a signal to your brain about the taste.

We hear it time and time again. Reeko, you talk to much. Why can't we talk back? Well now you can. Reeko's Message Board let you ask science and experiments questions, post interesting science news, slap up some graffiti, or just yak with your buddies.

Lab Monkey Report We are cranking out experiments for the little scientists as fast as we can and have rolled out several new (advanced) experiments during the past two weeks. Still, Reeko will not increase of banana quota to more than 12 bananas per day which we feel is highly unfair. The rats are fed several times a day and being the superior species, we feel we deserve as many bananas as we want. Reeko says the potassium in the bananas causes a chemical overload in our brains which results in us repeating ourselves over and over again. We of course, know that is not true. We of course, know that is not true.

Lab Rat Report There have been some strange noises coming out of Top Secret Section F. As usual, the monkeys won’t tell us what is going on but we heard them talking about some sort of "row bat" that Reeko is working on. We listened at the doorway and hear clanking noises coming from inside and see very bright lights flashing from under the door. Sometimes we hear Reeko talking to himself. Stay tuned – something big is coming!

Lab Cat Report Zzzzzzz.....

Scientists tip - take catnaps at work only when looking through the microscope so nobody will know.
