What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Rev. Rye]

Short: Never name your ship K-13 or Inflexible. And certainly don't put a submarine in a patrol on a foggy night on the anniversary of an accident that resulted in the death of half the crew. And, for fuck's sake, don't power your subs with coal.

Long: Sometimes, the Royal Navy can utterly shit the bed.

Experts for kids: False claims circulated that Shirley Temple was not a child, but a 30-year-old dwarf, due in part to her stocky body type, so the Vatican dispatched Father Silvio Massante to investigate whether she was indeed a child.

The Dracula Parrot exists.

Whether you like the world of goths and vampires or not, this parrot is sure to enchant you.

Normally, this parrot is found in forests of New Guinea, and it is rare that you will find an individual outside its natural environment or in captivity, except in the occasional zoo.

These parrots are quite large, they can reach more than 50cm tall. The only difference between male and female parrots are small red spots.

Unfortunately, their feathers are so beautiful that they are highly prized by the natives of New Guinea, and today there are still poachers who hunt them.

I learned that you can determine the tare weight of your household propane tank, assiduously weight it twice weekly, the most certain way to know you're low on gas is to unexpectedly run out of gas.

(Our range and water heater operate off a 30kg propane tank, exchanged by truck whenever we need one)

Ice is a solid, inorganic crystal that occurs naturally, which is also he definition of a mineral. Therefore, ice is a rock.

Lava is rock that has become molten through the action of heat on (or under) a terrestrial planet. Therefore, water is lava/magma.

Humans - at 60% are more water than non-water. Therefore, humans are lava monsters.

How I have a love/hate relationship with naps. I always feel sluggish when first waking up and nap dreams are always strange. But, then an hour or so later...I feel amazing.
