The Sahara is the largest non-polar desert in the world. It is comparable in size to China or the United States.

The Sahara Desert has petrified trees that date back millions of years.
Having walked amongst them? I'm confident I walked near some really old trees!

In October 2002. The Beltway sniper attacks started near DC.
Not stated openly ever was that the FBI and other agencies checked on ALL Sniper trained persons with past military training.
Ask me how I know that!

I was there when that was going on. It was crazy. People would pull up to a gas pump and duck walk to their gas cap and then right back into the car.


One time, I parked my motorcycle at the edge of a large gas station lot to get something out of my backpack. Everyone stopped to see what I was doing.


It was surreal.

Watch out where those penguins go...


It is estimated that nearly 3% of the ice in Antarctic glaciers contains penguin urine.

It costs more to buy a new car today in the United States than it cost Christopher Columbus to equip and undertake three voyages to and from the New World.

Snails, tortoises, salamanders, crocodiles, Malagay red-tailed dwarf lemurs & Eastt African hedgehogs all estivate. Alligators, on the other hand, tend to hibernate.https://s.abcnews.com/images/US/1801...ce_4x5_992.jpg

An eighteenth-century German named Matthew Birchinger, known as "the little man of Nuremberg," played four musical instruments including the bagpipes, was an expert calligrapher, and was the most famous stage magician of his day. He performed tricks with the cup and balls that have never been explained. Yet Birchinger had no hands, legs, or thighs, and was less than 29 inches tall.

Camelids are the only ungulates to mate in a sitting position.

Count the number of cricket chirps in a 15-second period, add 37 to the total, and your result will be very close to the actual outdoor Fahrenheit temperature.
