FACTS OF WHICH YOU MAY BE UNAWARE

How Dry Weather Can Reveal Hidden Archaeological Sites

Many of ancient settlements have disappeared because their structures were made predominantly of wood and earth. Wood decays and any earthen feature has since been eroded over the centuries. Nevertheless, evidence of prehistoric activity survives below ground, and during spells of extreme drought and heat, these ghosts of the past appear mysteriously through patterns in crop growth. They are known as cropmarks.

This is exactly what happened at Stonehenge to reveal the toppled stones' exact placement.

The nearly complete foot fossil, made up of 13 bones, was unearthed in 1998. The foot seems to have belonged to some kind of brachiosaur that stretched 80 feet long.

For centuries, a slimy black tube-shaped creature the size of a baseball bat has been eluding scientists. They'd examined its external shell, but never laid eyes on the alien-like physique hidden inside. 

Researchers have finally had a chance to study a living specimen of the giant shipworm (Kuphus polythalamia), which, despite its name, is not actually a worm, but a bivalve – a kind of aquatic mollusk enclosed in its shell, and a decidedly mysterious breed at that.

I think that is a wind turbine blade, but not sure why it's not smooth.

Grover Cleveland
Whenever someone asks me if they can ask me a question I say, "Grover Cleaveland" just in case the question is "Who is the only president to sever two non-consecutive terms?"

Why do people say “I better sleep on it” when it’s like a serious thing they need to think about? I have dreams where I eat a tomato full of bees. How is that supposed to help my life choices?

Just as believable to me.

An interesting thing happens in the military.
They have to keep the men busy all the time. A thousand bored, young, healthy men would be a nightmare. So when there is nothing to do, they just make shit up, like paint rocks white, march all day, polish everything that can be polished. Not saying I liked it, but I understood it.

Puta literally means whore. Although in Spanish this word is used as the word "fuck" in English; even though their meanings are different. This word expresses anger, discontent, embarrassment and many more. Could be used as a verb, adverb, adjective, etc. The word pretty much has the same significant popular use as “fuck”. It is important to remember that due to the huge diversity versions and accents in Latin America plus the Spanish accent and version, there are many ways to express oneself in Spanish in the exact same way.

There are also people who need help.
And it is a societal duty to render assistance.

But everyone needs to do whatever it takes to avoid danger.
Dress however you want, but maybe travel in a group.

Some people blame it on porn.
But there has always been porn, and further, I don't think sexual assaults are getting worse. But there are far fewer than in the last century.
=27=

I don't actually believe that, but I do think that every person has the potential for real violence if push came to shove.

Golf is a gentlemen's game.
Men, of course, are the worst.
