When we make friends then we change from being animals to being human.

182
A Blue Whale's Heart is More Than Five Feet Long


It's also four-feet wide and can weigh upwards of 400 pounds!

183
A 3,500-Year-Old Tablet May Contain the World's Oldest "Yo Mama" Joke


As much as human culture evolves, it also stays the same. A perfect example of this is the fact that an ancient tablet found in Iraq contains the world's oldest known "yo mama" joke.

Dating back 3,500 years and believed to be written by a Babylonian student, archaeologists determined that the text roughly translates to: "…of your mother is by the one who has intercourse with her. What/who is it? [No answer]." While it might not seem funny to us today (or really make much sense), perhaps this was hilarious thousands of years ago.

184
Spiders Can Regrow Their Legs


Spiders often amputate their legs as a means of escaping predators. Luckily, they can usually grow them back.

185
Steve Jobs' Last Words Were Awe-Inspired


According to his sister, the last words Steve Jobs spoke were "Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow."
186
The Scientific Name for a "Brain Freeze" is Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia


When you eat or drink something cold and immediately feel a sharp pain in your forehead, it's commonly referred to as a "brain freeze." However, there's also a scientific name for this intensely unpleasant common experience. So the next time you get a sudden headache due to the fact that you ate your ice cream too fast, you can tell the people around you that you're suffering from sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia.

187
Cows Get Excited When They Problem Solve


Research published in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science revealed that heifers had increased heart rates and moved more after solving a problem, indicating excitement.

188
Nearly One-Third of Alaska Lies Within the Arctic Circle


Located on the tip of North America's extreme northwest, Alaska is a unique state for a number of reasons—including the fact that nearly one-third of Alaska lies within the arctic circle. That's why about half of the state is covered with tundra, which is the kind of vast treeless plains that are common in the frozen North.

189
Roses Can Grow Taller Than People


According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the tallest rose bush, grown in California, was 18 feet, 8 inches tall.

190
No Two Tigers Have the Same Stripes


In the same way that no two humans have the same fingerprints, no two tigers have the same stripes. Each tiger has its own pattern that scientists and researchers can use to distinguish one individual animal from another.

191
Sharks Can Grow Thousands of Teeth


As if you needed more of a reason to fear the deep blue sea… sharks can grow up to 30,000 teeth over their lifetime.

192
Your Left Lung Is Smaller than Your Right Lung


While your lungs get bigger as you grow from a child into an adult, your right lung will always be larger than your left lung. According to the Lung Institute, in human beings, the left lung is smaller so that it leaves enough room for your heart, which is located next to your lung on the left side of your body.

193
The Killer's "Mr. Brightside" Lyrics Repeat Because of Procrastination


The first and second verse of The Killers' "Mr. Brightside" are exactly the same because the lead singer, Brandon Flowers, procrastinated and didn't feel like writing more lyrics. The singer told Rolling Stone that he wrote the lyrics at the end of his first serious relationship. When he met his guitarist, Dave Keuning, the pair was tasked with recording a demo of the song, and since Flowers hadn't written another verse, he just simply sang the first one again.

194
Early Pacemakers Had Wall Plugs


According to Images in Paediatric Cardiology, pacemakers in the 1950s required patients to be hooked up to wall sockets. Yes, we've come a long way.

195
Arizona's Meteor Crater Is Actually Named After a Post Office


Many people have said Arizona's Meteor Crater was misnamed and should instead be called "Meteorite Crater." However, the site did not actually get its name from the space object that created it. Instead, the crater was actually named after the closest nearby post office, which was named Meteor.

196
More Than 95 Percent of Passengers Involved in Plane Crashes Survive


Are you one of the many people with a fear of flying? Well, put your fears (mostly) to rest. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, 95 percent of passengers involved in aviation accidents actually survive. Taking a look at accidents between 1983 and 2000 involving more than 53,000 passengers, the board found that 51,207 people made it out alive. Those are some good odds!

197
U.S. Paper Money Contains Hundreds of Species of Microorganisms


A study published in the journal PLOS ONE found that the most abundant microorganisms were ones that cause acne, as well as plenty of harmless bacteria. They also found vaginal bacteria, microbes from mouths, DNA from pets and viruses.

198
New Hampshire Drinks the Most Alcohol of Any State

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism found that New Hampshire residents drank 4.76 gallons of alcohol per capita in 2016, more than any other state. For comparison, the national average was 2.35 gallons per capita that year.

199
Green Bay, Washington, Is Known as the "Toilet Paper Capital of the World"


That's because the first "splinter-free" toilet paper was produced there in the early 1900s. The product came from the Northern Paper Mills of Green Bay and each pack had 1,000 sheets of 4-by 10-inch paper. By 1920, the mill was the world's largest producer of bath tissue.

Betty White Predates Sliced Bread


The 97-year-old actress Betty White was born in 1922, but commercially-available sliced bread didn't hit shelves until 1928. And for more shocking celebrity ages, check out Here's How Old These 100 Iconic Celebrities Would Be If They Were Alive In 2019.

Good morning everyboomie. wave2


Welcome to the weekend! turkey


I think if I have to be shut in for a few nasty days, it's awfully nice to have a couple of fur babies to snuggle up with to help keep me warm. puppy


Beau came out today to spend about 4 days with me and Missy and Pepper. woot


We had thunderstorms this afternoon, and lots of rain on top of what we already had, so the ground is waterlogged. yes


I guess that's our share of the Winter storm. yes


I'll be cooking, cleaning, exercising, and gaming for a couple of days, to keep from climbing the walls. wink


Mostly gaming , but that other stuff looks good in print. hamster


Have a happy day everyone. thumbsup
