What is causing this mis-run?

Question

I have cleared my code of all errors. But one, this one is asking for the following:

Uncaught TypeError: A ParseQuery must be constructed with a ParseObject or class

This has been 'bugging' me for the past hour. Get it? Below is the code I have written so far:

<html>
<center><b><i><u><h1><font color="green">
<head> Welcome to Evergreen!
<title>  Evergreen
</title>
<script src="http://www.parsecdn.com/js/parse-1.6.7.min.js"></script>
</head></font></h1></u></i></b></center> 
<body bgcolor="white">
 <div id="main">
    <div style="display:none" class="error">
      Looks like there was a problem saving the test object. Make sure you've set your application ID and javascript key correctly in the call to <code>
Parse.initialize</code> in this file.
    </div>

 <ul id = "list-all-the-facts-given">

 </ul>
      </div>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    Parse.initialize("uZXJE7ChTK3XMvs3Nsf8hE5ivHWiGLpEimGAnUp1", "zJ9PQfiin6ZY9FXSqxFvYmuA9uOhsRz64jTWoExL");

      var query = new Parse.Query( SomeFacts );

 function getInformation() {
     console.log("Hi");
  var query = new Parse.Query( SomeFacts );
  query.find({ success: function( results ) {
      var output = "";
   for (var i in results) {
    var theInformation = results[i].get("actualInformation");
    output += "<li>";
    output += "<p>" + theInformation +  "</p>";
    output += "</li>";
   }
      console.log("I got to line 35, finished function getInformation() declaration.");

  $("#list-all-the-facts-given").html(output);
  }, error: function( error ) {
    alert("There was an error, this error is " + error.message );
  }
 })
 }
 getInformation();
 var SomeFacts = Parse.Object.extend("SomeFacts");
      getInformation();
 var theFacts = new SomeFacts();
 var supplyInfo = prompt("Enter information:  ");
 theFacts.set( "actualInformation" , supplyInfo );
 theFacts.save(null, {
   success: function(theFacts) {
     alert('New object created with objectId=: ' + theFacts.id);
   },
   error: function(theFacts, error) {
     alert('Failed to create new object, with error code: ' + error.message);
   }
 })

</script>
</body>
</html>

Couple of things to get you going:

var query = new Parse.Query( SomeFacts );

should be

var query = new Parse.Query("SomeFacts");

you aslo need to add the script for jquery like you have for parse.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
