A woodpecker's tongue is so long that it wraps around its skull to protect its brain while hitting a tree or other hard surfaces.

An “exodus” of staff from hospitals will worsen unless the Ontario government tackles a growing problem of violence and attacks against their mostly female workers by hiring more employees, the Canadian Union of Public Employees says. torstar.co/EkGs50JOWo1

In the mid-19th century, delivering messages by ship across the Atlantic could take 10 days. The first transatlantic telegraph cable, laid in 1858, could deliver messages in hours. It was a triumph that promised to revolutionize world-wide communication. history.com/news/first-trans…

Actually, forget teaching Critical Race Theory. Just use this contemporary example of ignorance to teach children about the abhorrence of the systems that infect our government institutions. It speaks for itself.

GOP city council member in Alabama says "do we have a house n****r in here?" to a Black woman on the council. This racist scum Tommy Bryant needs to resign and Veronica Freeman deserves an apology.

In regards to weight units:
<PONDO> originally just meant "weight" while <LIBRA> meant "a pound." Thus <LIBRA PONDO> was "one pound of weight," eventually simplified to just <PONDO>.
That's why "pounds (weight)" is abbreviated <LBS>, and why the zodiac for #Libra is a scale!

Oral history of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) says that the colossal moa "walked" from the inland quarries to the coast. Western scientists have scoffed-- but not provided a proven alternate theory.

Painful silence, while cultural identity, human rights (humanity and life itself) were being stripped away. This happened in our life time.
