Einstein put down his microphone
and settled into his cage.
Take five, Marlon. On second
thought, take six. I now HATE thenumber five.
Ned made sure none of his classmates
were watching before he spoke to the
hamster. Einstein, you realize youre
the class pet and Ms. Moreno is the
teacher,
right? ThatSHES the one in charge
and you dont really
have a game show?

Einstein asked.

Ned couldnt help but smile. Nothing
made Einstein happier than learning
new, interesting facts, and Einsteins
Tasty Tidbits was the part of the
show where he shared those fun
facts with his audience to help them
prepare for AnSwEr . . . ThAt . . .
QuEsTiOn.
Einstein loved stumbling on a fun
fact more than he loved carrots orkibbles or sunflower seeds, which is
why he named the
segment Tasty Tidbits.
Ned wasnt too sureabout the whole
dressing up like the
fancy women who
worked on REAL TV

game shows, but it was Einsteins
show, not his.
Of COURSE you can do a Tasty
Tidbit, Ned said. Why do you think I
came over here?
Einstein looked at Ms. Moreno in
the front of the class. Shes a no-
good ham, Einstein thought. Always
hogging the spotlight. But he was a
professional,
and it was time to endthe show.
You ready? Ned asked.
When it came to Tasty Tidbits,
Einstein was born ready.

Believe it or not, the highest concentrationof mosquitoes on the planet is NOT in the
tropics but in the Arctic tundra. Because
its so flat, when the snow and ice melt, the
water has nowhere to go and forms shallow
pools that provide breeding grounds for
mosquitoes. When you add in the constant
sunlight of summer as well as rising
temperatures, the pools of warm water
make perfect mosquito incubators.
BILLIONS can swarm in a day, filling the
skiesin the Arctic!
elieve it or not the hi hest concentration

But dont blame the males. Only female
mosquitoes bite because they need
protein from blood for their eggs.
(Regular mosquito diet consists of plantsugar.) Its not the mosquitos bite that
makes you itch. Its the bodys immune
response to the saliva she leaves behind.
