Fun facts about giraffes:
1) The horns on top of a giraffe's head are called osicones. If the osicones have tufts of fur on the top of them, the giraffe is male. Female giraffes do not have tufts of fur on their osicones.
2) The average gestational period of a giraffe is 15 months. Each preganacy usually results in a single live birth, although twins can occur from time to time.
3) Giraffes are a threatened species. There are 12 known subspecies of giraffe, 7 of which have become extinct, leaving only 5 subspecies of giraffe.
4) Giraffes do not have vocal cords
5) Male giraffes live in bachelor herds while the females and the young live in separate herds.
6) The correct way for a giraffe to wear a necktie is at the base of his neck close to his body, not at the top of his neck under his chin.
7) I have a stuffed giraffe named Aislyn. She wears a purple hoodie, a tutu, and roller skates. She makes me happy every time I look at her.

Strawberries are not berries, they are "accessory fruits". And their seeds are actually ovaries.

TIME TO SPILL FACTS ABOUT CHICKENS!!!!!

1. Most chickens are actually okay with you taking their eggs. Their instinct to guard eggs are mostly breed out of them. There are still some hens that will guard eggs, but now they lay them and don't care. Sometimes even eat the eggs themselves! Hens with the instinct are called broody and will gather all the eggs in sight, doesn't matter if they laid them or not, and sit on them for 22 hours a day for three weeks until they hatch.

2. You can train chickens. Mine come when I call, or shake their treat bag. They understand less and more.

3. Chickens if given enough human attention can be like a dog. Mine have come up to me and sat on my lap!

4. Most eggs at stores or chicken you eat come from abused chickens who were in battery cell cages their whole life, or stuffed in a building with thousands of other chickens and nothing to protect them from each other. Chickens do come in flocks, but there is such thing as too many in an area

Your dog loves the sound of your voice, and is happier when you talk to her. Tell her about your day, babble a bunch of gibberish, or simply tell her how pretty and how good she is and the endorphins will flow. For an added bonus, sit on the floor with her when you’re regaling her with tall tales. She loves that, too!

If your code has a problem and in researching the fix, you find another problem. Fix the first one and deal with the other one once you verify the first one now works. World of misery if you attempt the two-fer.

1) ALL mushrooms are edible but some can only be eaten once.
2) If you're going to plant an apple seed it won't grow into the breed of apple you sowed, you will need to graft a branch from an established apple tree.
3) You can graft cherry branches onto an apple tree, so you could grow 50/50 apple and cherry tree.
4) You can tell which way is North (South, East and West) by which side the moss/lichen is growing on the tree.
5) Potatoes are in the same family of Tomatoes and Tomatoes are in the same family of Nightshade. The only difference being is that Tomato fruits are edible but potato fruits (yes, tats bear fruit after flowering) are toxic, so never eat the green looking tomatoes off potato plants.
6) I could go on forever with this Horticulture lark!

There is a form of OCD called Stuck Song Syndrome. It's when an earworm becomes more than an earworm, and causes excessive amounts of anxiety and distraction. Currently the most effective songs to sing in your head to ease the stuck song are God Save the Queen and Karma Chameleon. I choose the latter. Boy George and medication are the reason I can get thru my mornings.
