ANIMALS

Part 32 of 32
  • Turkeys originated in North and Central America, and evidence indicates that they have been around for over 10 million years.
  • Unlike most fish, electric eels cannot get enough oxygen from water. Approximately every five minutes, they must surface to breathe, or they will drown. Unlike most fish, they can swim both backwards and forwards.
  • When a female horse and male donkey mate, the offspring is called a mule, but when a male horse and female donkey mate, the offspring is called a hinny.
  • When the Black Death swept across England one theory was that cats caused the plague. Thousands were slaughtered. Ironically, those that kept their cats were less affected, because they kept their houses clear of the real culprits, rats.



  • Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
    Carl G. Jung



    PRESIDENTIAL TRIVIA
    Woodrow Wilson Wilson made up this limerick to describe himself:
    "For beauty I am not a star
    There are others more handsome by far
    But my face I don't mind it
    For I am behind it
    It's the people in front that I jar."
    Woodrow Wilson 1913-1921



    I am both Mother and Father.
    I am seldom still
    yet I never wander.
    I never birth nor nurse.

    What am I?



    "Cadillacs are down at the end of the bat."



    I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
    Francis Bacon



    People see me and they think, "He's risen from the dead."
