The Giga Pets Explorer can be plugged into a television, enabling the user to have their mini-pet pair up with a dog, a panda, or a monkey, onscreen. These animals have the ability to dig for items buried under blue flowers. They have emotions and feelings such as hunger and exhaustion. As with real animals, these on-screen pets require attention and care. They can also learn up to three tricks which are different depending on the animal you choose.

Pet

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or protection, as opposed to working animals, sport animals, livestock, and laboratory animals, which are kept primarily for performance, agricultural value, or research. The most popular pets are noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities.

Pets commonly provide their owners (or guardians) physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can supply both the human and pet with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction. Pets can give companionship to elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people, as well as other people that are living alone. There is a medically approved class of therapy animals, mostly dogs or cats, that are brought to visit confined humans. Pet therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive, and emotional goals with patients.

The most popular pets are likely dogs and cats, but people also keep house rabbits, ferrets; rodents such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, fancy rats, and guinea pigs; avian pets, such as canaries, parakeets, and parrots; reptile pets, such as turtles, lizards and snakes; aquatic pets, such as goldfish, tropical fish and frogs; and arthropod pets, such as tarantulas and hermit crabs.

    Thirteenth Step is the second studio album by American rock band A Perfect Circle, released on September 16, 2003. The album sold well, charting at the number 2 position on the Billboard 200 in its premiere week, selling over 231,000 copies and staying on the charts for 78 weeks. The album went on to be certified as gold on November 4, 2003 and as platinum on March 24, 2006 by the RIAA. Three singles were released from the album, "Weak and Powerless", which topped both the Mainstream Rock Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks, followed by "The Outsider" and "Blue", which also charted on the respective charts.

    Background

    Writing and recording

    The band's writing process was very different from the band's first album, Mer de Noms. With the first album, a majority of the album had been already written and recorded over a long period of time by guitarist Billy Howerdel, before a band had even been assembled. He had recorded it with a female vocalist in mind, but upon Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan hearing it and offering to sing for the material, the content was then quickly finalized upon adding Keenan's vocals and re-recording the drums with band member Josh Freese. With beginning the second album, the band found themselves starting fresh, without any material to start with, with the exception of the track "Vanishing", which originally was intended to be on the band's first album, but Howerdel could not find the song file in the studio, having accidentally named it "test". Upon finally recovering the track in 2001, it was only slightly altered for its final release, to better match the eventual sound of Thirteenth Step.

    by: Jackpot

    I cant be a super man,
    cause no ones really that super
    but i'll steal the neighbors cat with you
    believe me when i say,
    i;d love to run faster the a trian some day
    and say all the right things
    to sweep you off your feet
    oh psycho ballerina
    sleep with me on the ocean cliff,
    its you i smell its you i miss
    oh psycho ballerina
    fling off your shoes let down your hair,
    lets drive into the middle of nowhere.
    the phone it keeps on ringing
    the earth it keeps spinning
    the dirt is brown, the moon is white and i need you now
    every night i have a ton of dreams,
    i cant remember in the morning,
    lets slip on through back on forth
    and call me up.
    oh psycho ballerina
    sleep with me on the ocean cliff,
    its you i smell its you i miss
    oh psycho ballerina
    fling off your shoes let down your hair,
    lets drive into the middle of nowhere.
    oh psycho ballerina
    sleep with me on the ocean cliff,
    its you i smell its you i miss
    oh psycho ballerina
    fling off your shoes let down your hair,
    lets drive into the middle of nowhere.
