And people say cats can be heartless.

That's service 💛

what a b***h

Juggling hermit crabs?!? 😂

he is not forgotten

not only Germany....

The trick is to tell them not to do it.

What happens to the sunflowers after they die? If they're storing radioactive contaminants in their stems and leaves, do they need to be stored somewhere after they die to prevent the contaminants from leaching back into the soil? Is there a science panda who knows?

In Australia, we use horses instead of opossums in the production of snake antivenins. Rabbits and sheep are also sometimes used.

I am not one to find meaning after death but this seems sensible.

Good. That makes a lot more sense than the usual story of fish eggs hitching a ride on the legs of the ducks. PS. Tomato seeds remain alive when eaten by humans.

Perhaps Bruce Lee was indeed a dragon reincarnate and a being that was out of this world. A legendary man, mad respect *bows*

For similar reasons, the Chinese can read texts that are two thousand years old. Despite the profusion of mutually-incomprehensible spoken dialects, written Chinese has remained exceptionally stable. For comparison, The Canterbury Tales are six hundred years old and are all but unintelligible to an unprepared reader.

Gosh, I hope the love letter was addressed to her mom...

around 392 years sounds very specific

PBS American Experience did a great documentary on her. She's often portrayed as a butch woman, but she was extremely ladylike and had a penchant for dressing well and being well groomed. She married a man who was pretty great. Considering Victorian morays about women, he was a chill guy.

If only his cousin was called Roll...just so you could have Rock and Roll

That sounds mythical!

Yet we have local governments who are putting in more restrictions, more lights causing more pollution and claim they do it for green issues. How can closing a section of road 200 meters long causing vehicles to drive an extra 3 KM environmental, especially when it now goes through a residential area and held up at several junctions.

Wow, so they're like cats with flippers.

Seems to run in the family

She did well

...I swear it's looking at me.

those are not igloos, those are hunters huts with half the roof cut away

It's called synesthesia and quite a few people experience this with numbers and colors specifically. But some people also experience a link between other senses like smell, taste, sound, touch. It's very interesting!

Sounds like a must-visit one day :-)

The first? has there been more?

Jamie Foxx is a very underrated nice guy

That's curious

I think it's time I finally listen to a song he's done. Been meaning to but it always slips my mind.....

django and the ginge

Hmmm, the bed…

Was this before or after he was famous? After would actually be more impressive.

I guess Holland has a power plant nearby?

They make most of their money selling gifts (like mugs and t-shirts), coins, stamps, and peerages (you too can become a baron for $50).

Poor thing!

Interesting thing: All branches of a tree bound together would be as thick as the stem. Or to say it in other words: If a branch branches into two other branches, those other branches would each be 50% as thick as the original branch

Why are the footprints on the wall?

I live here and did not know this!

If this is true, no man anywhere gets to tell a woman she should smile more ever again.

Bargain

Well, technically everything is edible, it's just that some things are edible more than once.

I know where I would live for 65 days a year if I could

If someone is interested, I can sell it to you... some assembly required after delivery of the parts

In Tokyo or rather Japan?

could be used as a Viagra commercial

Nobody must be pretty lonely

Raw peppers are also very healthy, they contain lots of vitamin C. If you cook them for too long, this will break down. So when it comes to peppers: try eating some raw (especially red) and some (not overly) cooked.

I'm so glad Disney's Finding Nemo wasn't accurate. That would be a whole different kind of movie.

I love the smell of distressed grass in the morning

I think it's enough to cut down on meat consumption, there are so many tasty options that don't require meat, we maybe consume more than we need to but our taste buds will rebel if we try to cut it out altogether. I just try for meat free days or 2 out of 3 main meals being meat free, I don't think I could stick to much more than that, at least right now, maybe I'm getting there slowly.

The Mediterranean used to be a lot shallower because of ocean level decrease during the last ice age. The Strait of Gibraltar is high enough that when the water level in the Atlantic dropped enough, it cut the Mediterranean off. There are entire villages that are now underwater. When the ice age ended and sea levels began rising again, the Mediterranean began refilling. There was likely a point at which this caused catastrophic flooding, and this is a very good potential source for the biblical flood story.

They could do that in the UK and turn pot holes in to mini hot tubs
