A strange fact for people who used to watch "Arthur"
This topic is officially useless, but I am becoming dangerously bored, so I decided to post this.
If you used to watch (or still watch) the show "Arthur" on PBS Kids, you may be shocked to know that a boy does the voice for D.W. (and has since the show started), and the voice of Arthur's dad is the same guy who plays Binky Barnes O_O
I doubt any of you know what I'm talking about.

Re: A strange fact for people who used to watch "Arthur"
I also just learned Francine and Muffy are monkeys I thought they were aardvarks or something like Arthur. It's funny. I'm reading this on Wikipedia. The amount of information they give is rather amusing:
Francine Alice Frensky, a tomboyish monkey who can be quite bossy and loves sports. She is also an exceptional singer and drummer, but cannot do both simultaneously. Her family is Jewish. She has an older sister, Catherine.
Mary Alice "Muffy" Crosswire, a monkey whose father is a wealthy car salesman, and hence she tends to be spoiled. She loves fashion and has a lot of marketing and business savy for someone her age. She has an older brother named Chip who is in college.
Alan "The Brain" Powers, a very intelligent bear, hence his nickname, who also excels at sports and is known for his constant correcting. Although, he had repeated Kindergarten because he was a "cryer". His family celebrates Kwanzaa.
Sue Ellen Armstrong, a cat who has lived abroad in many countries and practices martial arts.
They also have a really good point here though:
Though he is proclaimed to be an aardvark, many of his features sit in stark contrast with this, and are actually most like those of the Capybara,[3]. For example his small, rounded ears, large, bulbous snout and his lack of the large, conspicuous tail which aardvarks typically possess.
I say he's a human with big ears

Read the early ones and see the pictures. (E.g. Arthur Gets Glasses)

That's the only book with him like that.
That's the first book so it's rough around the edges, but they did remake it with normal Arthur.

Offtopic: Could I have a link to a song recording or the muzic video you have made? The website only lists them.

Re: A strange fact for people who used to watch "Arthur"
Arthur owns a pet dog, despite the fact that everyone in the show is an animal. In fact, some of the characters on the show are dogs.
Shocking, isn't it?
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

I think Tootie might be played by the same person.
