NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gasoline prices as measured in the daily AAA survey hit yet another record Saturday.

The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline edged up slightly to $4.073 a gallon, according to the motorist group's Web site.

The average topped $4 for the first time last week after crude oil prices surged to a trading record above $139 per barrel. The price has swung back and forth in a $10 band since then.

Gas is most expensive in California, according to the survey, averaging $4.587, followed by Alaska at $4.416. The average price is $4 a gallon or more in more than half the states and the District of Columbia.

Missouri has the lowest average price at $3.839, followed by Oklahoma at $3.849.

Gasoline prices in the survey have risen 34 percent from a year ago when they averaged $3.029.

On its Web site, AAA says the information is gathered by Oil Price Information Service based on credit card swipes at 85,000 gasoline stations across the nation.

I well 4ever belive in mermaids

Myths and Legends of Mermaids were told to have swum the deep seas. Witnessed by fishermen and those who have a profound connection with the ocean, divers that have explored underneath had sought a glimpse of the sea creature. Tales of fishermen saved from boat wreck in storms claimed mermaids have saved them but up to now the myth lives on and the hunt for proof still emerges. Some believed mermaids as spiritual creatures in the sea in the likes of an angel that instead of wings it has scales and a forked tale.

“But she, with astounding vigor, emerged straight from the sea as far as the waist and put her arms around my neck, enveloping me in a scent I had never smelled before, then let herself slither into the boat: beneath her groin, beneath her gluteal muscles, her body was that of a fish, covered in minute scales of blue and mother-of-pearl, and ending in a forked tail which was slowly beating the bottom of the boat. She was a mermaid…”
Guiseppe di Lampedusa
“The Professor and the Mermaid”

Inspirations of such literature came from somewhere real as people had claimed seeing mermaids and personal encounters usually in the wee hours of the early morning somewhere along Panagsama Beach in Moalboal, Cebu.

But the greatest question would be, is it real? Is it truly just a myth, or it a legend? This mind boggling question lead analyzers commenting that mermaids do not exist, arguments from here and there of mermaid fakery had come out.

Whether or not Mermaids do live in the seas or not, they still remain in fascination as beautiful creatures, splendid and alluring.

the zoo is always fun!!

When we went to the Baltimore Zoo last week, we saw a Guinea bird pecking the head and then pulling the hair out of the Wart Hog in the cage next to him. Was that because the bird was trying to give the hog a makeover? Or was the bird appalled by his shear ugliness? Where did the term "birdbrain" come from? I am afraid of birds and with good reason as you can plainly see.
