African elephants only have four teeth to chew their food with. There are about one billion cattle in the world of which 200 million are in India. A house fly lives only 14 days. A dog was the first in space and a sheep, a duck and a rooster the first to fly in a hot air balloon. The Big Five is a group of animals of Africa: cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino. The oldest breed of dog is the Saluki. The bee hummingbird of Cuba is the smallest bird in the world. An ostrich can run up to 43mph (70 km/h). An annoyed camel will spit at a person. The world’s smallest dog is the Chihuahua, which means “tiny dog in the sky.” Pea crabs (the size of a pea) are the smallest crabs in the world. 75% of wild birds die before they are 6 months old. The pig is rated the fourth most intelligent animal but are mentioned only twice in the Bible Sheep are mentioned 45 times and goats 88 times in the Bible. Dogs are mentioned 14 times and lions 89 times, but domestic cats are not mentioned. Pork is the world’s most widely-eaten meat. In Denmark there are twice as many pigs as people. Dinosaurs did not eat grass: there weren’t any at that time. The coyote is a member of the dog family and its scientific name, “canis latrans” means barking dog. A giraffe can clean its ears with its 50cm (20 in) tongue. A group of geese on the ground is a gaggle – a group of geese in the air is a skein. More animal collective nouns The South American giant anteater eats more than 30,000 ants a day. It is impossible to out-swim a shark – sharks reach speeds of 44 mph (70 km/h). Humans can run about 21 mph (35 km/h). The sailfish is the fastest swimmer, reaching 68 mph (109 km/h), although a black marlin has been clocked at 80 mph (128 km/h). The slowest fish is the Sea Horse, which moves along at about 0.01 mph (0.016 km/h). Dolphins can reach 37 mph (60 km/h). Of the 650 types of leeches, only the Hirudo medicinalis is used for medical treatments. The heart of a blue whale is the size of a small car. The tongue of a blue whale is as long as an elephant. A blue whale weighs as much as 40 rhinos. The eel is the only fish in the world that spawns in the middle of an ocean but spends its adult lives in rivers. The scales of a crocodile are made of ceratin, the same substance that hooves and fingernails are made of. A crocodile’s tongue is attached to the roof of its mouth and cannot move it. A snail has two pairs of tentacles on its head. One pair is longer than the other and houses the eyes. The shorter pair is used for smelling and feeling its way around. (Some snail species have only one pair of tentacles, thus they have just one eye.) The heaviest crustacean ever found was a lobster weighing 42 lb (19 kg), caught in 1934. The largest jellyfish ever caught measured 7’6″ (2,3 m) across the bell with a tentacle of 120 ft (36 m) long. The largest giant squid ever recorded was captured in the North Atlantic in 1878. It weighed 4 tons. Its tentacles measured 10 m (35 ft) long. The giant squid has the biggest eyes of any animal: its eyes measure 16 inches (40 cm) in diameter. Domestic cats purr at about 26 cycles per second, the same frequency as an idling diesel engine. Sharks are immune to almost all known diseases. Sharks and rays also share the same kind of skin: instead of scales, they have small tooth-like spikes called denticles. The spikes are so sharp that shark skin has long been used as sandpaper. Animals also are either right-handed or left-handed. Polar bears are left-handed – and so is Kermit the Frog. There are 701 types of pure breed dogs. There are about 54 million dogs in the US, and Paris is said to have more dogs than people. Some bird species, usually flightless birds, have only a lower eyelid, whereas pigeons use upper and lower lids to blink. Fish and insects do not have eyelids – their eyes are protected by a hardened lens. Flatfish (halibut, flounder, turbot, and sole) hatch like any other “normal” fish. As they grow, they turn sideways and one eye moves around so they have two eyes on the side that faces up. Measured in straight flight, the spine-tailed swift is the fastest bird. It flies 106 mph (170 km/h). Second fastest is the Frigate, which reaches 94 mph (150 km/h). Millions of trees are accidentally planted by squirrels who bury nuts and then forget where they hid them. There are more than 150 million sheep in Australia, a nation of 21 million people. New Zealand is home to 4 million people and 70 million sheep.

However, the swell grew and grew and neither Dane nor Dillon took to the air but some barrels were had. Visit whatyouth.com to see what went down. A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. "House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz." A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?" Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora") because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic. 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. (THIS GETS BETTER!) The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el computador") because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves. 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time, they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won. Had a good night's sleep after a wildly loud & fun family supper & big bonfire outside. Have to admit I miss the wild country day's sometimes...hehehe :) Loading up the trailer 4 my sister to move today, so #new #art will be coming up randomly whenever I need a break :) HAVE A MARVELOUS MONDAY ALL!!! ✱*¨*•✶ (✿◠‿◠)★░░░░ ֆIԼƐɳƈƐ ░░░░*´`*•.✶ OFF ★ ցօօժղìցհէ ★sɯɐǝɹp ʇǝǝʍs★BBL★ http://htxt.it/kEqa* ★ ♥ˆ◡ˆ♥ ★ ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ ☼★ (✿◠‿◠) ★((❀◕‿.◕))♥★☾☼☽ Science fast facts Music was sent down a telephone line for the first time in 1876, the year the phone was invented. Sound travels through water 3 times faster than through air. A square piece of dry paper cannot be folded in half more than 7 times. Air becomes liquid at about minus 190 degrees Celsius. Liquid air looks like water with a bluish tint. A scientific satellite needs only 250 watts of power, the equivalent used by two hour light bulbs, to operate. The thin line of cloud that forms behind an aircraft at high altitudes is called a contrail. Radio waves travel so much faster than sound waves that a broadcast voice can be heard sooner 18,000 km away than in the back of the room in which it originated. A US ton is equivalent to 900 kg (2000 pounds). A British ton is 1008 kg (2240 pounds), called a gross ton. Industrial hemp contains less than 1% of THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana. Since space is essentially empty it cannot carry sound. Therefor there is no sound in space, at least not the sort of sound that we are used to. The Space Shuttle always rolls over after launch to alleviate structural loading, allowing the shuttle to carry more mass into orbit. The word “biology” was coined in 1805 by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Most of the air is about 78% nitrogen gas. Only 21% consists of oxygen. The remaining 1% consists of carbon dioxide, argon, neon, helium, krypton, hydrogen, xenon and ozone. Argon is used to fill the space in most light bulbs. Neon is used in fluorescent signs. Fluorescent lights are filled with mercury gas. Hydrogen gas is the least dense substance in the world. Water expands by about 9% as it freezes. The surface of hot water freezes faster than cold water but the rest of the water will remain liquid longer than in a cold sample. The smallest transistor is 50-nanometres wide – roughly 1/2000 the width of a human hair. A compass does not point to the geographical North or South Pole, but to the magnetic poles. The double-helix structure of DNA was discovered in 1953 by James Watson and Francis Crick. The length of a single human DNA molecule, when extended, is 1.7 metres (5 ft 5 in). In a desert, a mirage is caused when air near the ground is hotter than air higher up. As light from the sun passes from cooler to warmer air, it speeds up and is refracted upward, creating the image of water. The typical bolt of lightning heats the atmosphere to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. An electric oven uses one kilowatt-hour of electricity in about 20 minutes, but one kilowatt-hour will power a TV for 3 hours, run a 100-watt bulb for 12 hours, and keep an electric clock ticking for 3 months.

Good Morning All... been up for quite a while now & thought I'd better say hi & let you all know that NEW #ART designs will be coming up later today....HAVE A SUPER SUNDAY & enjoy the little joke below :)) Having arrived at the edge of the river, the fisherman soon realized he had forgotten to bring any bait. Just then he happened to see a little snake passing by who had caught a worm. The fisherman snatched up the snake and robbed him of his worm. Feeling sorry for the little snake with no lunch, he snatched him up again and poured a little beer down his throat. Then he went about his fishing. An hour or so later the fisherman felt a tug at his pant leg. Looking down, he saw the same snake with three more worms in his mouth... ✱*¨*•✶ (✿◠‿◠)★░░░░ ֆIԼƐɳƈƐ ░░░░*´`*•.✶ OFF ★ ցօօժղìցհէ ★sɯɐǝɹp ʇǝǝʍs★BBL★ http://htxt.it/kEqa* ★ ♥ˆ◡ˆ♥ ★ ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ ☼★ (✿◠‿◠) ★((❀◕‿.◕))♥★☾☼☽ |
