I will follow all colors of Bic
and Papermate, because there is
a chemical in the ink that is
similar to the chemicals we
termites use to communicate.
That chemical is not present in
Gel ink, so I will not follow
any color Gel ink.
I also have some difficulty
following sharp corners.

LowDensityofIce:
H2O is unusual because its solid form
(ice) is LESS dense than its liquid
form (water).
This occurs because the hydrogen
bonds force the molecules into an
organized (and spacious) pattern as
they cool.
