Are these a sneak peek at the Upcoming Zhu Zhu Pets?

So as my Zhu Zhu Pet saga continues, I was browsing the web for some info on the upcoming baby hamsters we see on the back of some packages.   I came across a very interesting site and noticed something even more interesting!

I found the babies, and upcoming dress up outfits for a pre-sale online.  Also I noticed something very different about some of the models for the outfits.  Not all of them look like hamsters!

Take a close look:

Do all of these look like hamsters to you?   They don’t to me.

Who is the Princess?  No hamster we’ve seen yet has that long of a tail and stripes on the face.  Could this possibly be a Chipmunk?

What about the scuba diver, he has a black nose.  None of the hamsters have black noses, they are all pink.  Could this possibly be a ground hog or another woodland creature?

Pretty interesting!

These are all being Pre-Saled on the following website for $51.99 for what is called a case, I believe to be one of each outfit.   It says they are to be released in January.  Plus it says they are subject to change, so I wonder how they are preselling them.  Very interesting.

Personally, I will wait until they come out in the store to decide if I want to buy them or not.

Happy Friday the 13th!

I didn’t even notice that today was Friday the 13th until someone mentioned it online today.  I’m very happy because 13 is my lucky number (and has been ever since I was little).  Normally the 13th of each month is lucky for me but Friday the 13th is almost always Very Lucky for me.

There are some interesting facts from the 13 Wiki.

Lucky 13

In Sikhism, the number 13 is considered a special number since 13 is tera in Punjabi, which also means “yours” (as in, “I am yours, O Lord”). The legend goes that when Guru Nanak Dev was taking stock of items as part of his employment with a village merchant, he counted from 1 to 13 (in Punjabi) as one does normally; and thereafter he would just repeat “tera”, since all items were God’s creation. The merchant confronted Guru Nanak about this, but found everything to be in order after the inventory was checked. April 13 also usually turns out to be Vaisakhi every year, which is the Sikh New Year and the major Sikh Holiday.

Several successful sports figures have worn the number 13. Ozzie Guillén, manager of the 2005 World Series Champion Chicago White Sox, has worn the number throughout his baseball career. Alex Rodriguez began wearing it upon joining the New York Yankees (three, the number he had previously worn, is retired by the Bronx Bombers to honor Babe Ruth). Dan Marino, an American football player known for passing the 2nd most yards in NFL history, wore the number 13. Basketball great Wilt Chamberlain wore the number 13 on his jersey throughout his NBA career. Also, FIBA rules require a player to wear the number in international competitions (only numbers from 4 to 15 could be worn, and as there are 12 players, one must wear 13); Chris Mullin, who wore #20 in college and #17 in the NBA, wore #13 for both (1984 and 1992) of his Olympic appearances. Shaquille O’Neal wore #13 in 1996, Tim Duncan wore #13 in 2004, Steve Nash is currently wearing it for the Phoenix Suns, Yao Ming wore it in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, and Mats Sundin and Bill Guerin wear 13 in the NHL. One of Iceland’s all time best handball players, Sigurður Sveinsson, wore the number 13 when he played for the national team. In association football, both Gerd Müller and Michael Ballack have favoured the number 13, among others.

In Italy, 13 is also considered to be a lucky number, although in Campania the expression ‘tredici’ (meaning 13) is said when one considers their luck to have turned for the worse.

Colgate University also considers 13 to be a lucky number. They were founded in 1819 by 13 men with 13 dollars, 13 prayers, and 13 articles. (To this day, members of the Colgate community consider the number 13 a good omen.) In fact, the campus address is 13 Oak Drive in Hamilton, NY and the all men a cappella group is called the Colgate 13.”

So I’m not the only one who has 13 as being lucky!

Take my poll and share what you feel about Friday the 13th:
