We've had LOADS of comments and questions recently so we thought we'd let you know what Show Me Surfers are talking about…

"I would like it if you could make Show Me a dinosaur website," requested Paige.

Well, Paige, we love dinosaurs too and although we can't just feature them on the website we've got lots of games and activities about them on our special Dinosaurs section.

Charisse, who's aged eight, is more interested in Ancient Egypt:

"I think this think this is very good please send me some more fact about Egypt," she asked.

Look no further than our Ancient Civilizations section Charisse, it's got loads of games and fun things to do and see all about the Egyptians.

Regular Show Me readers might remember our intriguing story about cow farts.

We asked you if you could think of any ingenious ways of measuring how much farmyard animals fart! Mills came up with this inventive idea:

"tape very large baggies to one cows butt, then measure the volume every hour or so. do that for a week, (on one cow) then extrapolate for all the cows in the world, making the assumption all cows fart at approximately the same rate!!"

One other Show Me surfer said, "i like the victorins because it is good to lern"

There's certainly plenty of fascinating facts to find out about the Victorians, and we've got lots to see on our Victorians topic page.

Other Show Me Surfers were interested in what happened to the Princes in the Tower, who were imprisoned in the Tower of London during the reign of King Richard III in 1483, more than 500 years ago.

There are lots of stories of what might actually have happened to them, with Show Me readers offering some ideas of their own.

"i think the princes were killed," said one reader, while Laurie Parsons has been doing an A Level History project about them at Lutterworth College.

She thinks that King Richard wasn't behind the princes' disappearance.

"I am very much against the idea that Richard had his nephews murdered (if they were killed at all, I am a firm believer that it was at the hand's of Henry Tudor) and would like to perhaps see some justice done to him, even if we can never truly know."
