|  February 23, 2012 A Russian team discovered a seed cache of Silene stenophylla, a flowering plant native to Siberia, that had been buried by an Ice Age squirrel near the banks of the Kolyma River. Radiocarbon dating confirmed that the seeds were 32,000 years old! | |

|  June 14, 2013 Baobab is the common name for the trees of the genus Adansonia , they don't actually produce growth rings like many trees do. As a result, the trunks sometimes store as much as 32,000 gallons of water! Last edited by KATZ on 2019-11-02 17:50:13 | |

 Sorry altough it sounds real cute. This is not true. Flamingos aren't relly pink either but the red is due to the pigments in their food. In brief Claim Flamingo egg yolks are pink. Conclusion Like chicken eggs, flamingo eggs have yellow to red egg yolks. A photo of an egg with a pink yolk that the caption incorrectly claims is a flamingo egg has been shared several times on Facebook, and the claim has appeared across the internet. The claim is not true. The yolk of flamingo eggs is a similar colour to that of chickens - yellow to reddish. It can sometimes have a slight pink hue from the bird’s diet, but not similar to that shown in the viral photo. The shells and whites are also not pink. Flamingos get their distinct pink colour from the pigments that naturally occur in their diet. At birth, flamingos are grey, and their colour builds up over a number of years. The photo shared on Facebook appears to be an edit of a stock image of an egg. Last edited by DaScubaDude on 2019-11-02 18:24:32 | |

|  October 28, 2011 Home-centric weblog Apartment Therapy explains: Candles will last longer (almost 2X), if they are placed in the freezer for a day before using them. Chilling the wax gives it a bit longer before burning through and leaving you with an empty jar! | |

| SHE IS AWESOME, I have heard her speak! ... 8o Mom-of-two Juli Briskman, 52, was snapped giving a one-finger salute as she cycled beside the president’s caravan of cars leaving his Virginia golf course two years ago. The photo got her fired from her job with a government contractor — but sparked her ambitions to channel her anger into politics. Democrat Birkman won a tough-fought election on Tuesday to oust a Republican and land a seat on the Loudoun county board of supervisors. Last edited by KATZ on 2019-11-07 22:37:33 | |

| 2009 Jan.23, 2009 Minebea Co., Ltd. Launching of World's Smallest Ball Bearings with Ultra-small Outer Diameter of 1.5 mm ~ Proposed for use in ultra-small precision devices field, bearings are capable of operating at high speeds of more than 5,000 rpm ~ Minebea Co., Ltd. (Minebea) has succeeded in the commercialization of ultra-small ball bearings that are 1.5 mm in outer diameter and 0.65 mm in thickness, making them the smallest in the world.* These ball bearings have the same pressed-steel ball bearing cage structure as normal miniature ball bearings and will be mass-produced. Sales will be launched shortly. With a 60% share of the global market, Minebea is the leading manufacturer of miniature ball bearings with outer diameters of 22 mm or less. The smallest ball bearings that Minebea has put to practical use up to this point have been the 2.2 mm outer diameter ball bearings used in the rotating mechanisms of small precision devices. These ball bearings deliver high performance in reducing friction. While achieving further miniaturization, these ultra-small ball bearings of 1.5 mm in outer diameter have the same high precision, durability and rigidity of the products that were formerly the smallest. This new product will be proposed for active use in the moving parts of medical devices, micro-motors, micro-machines and other fields for which the conventional ball bearings were not suited. As a proposal-type product designed as a solution for ultra-small precision devices that require extreme precision on a nano scale, we seek to achieve annual sales of 100,000 units in a few years' time. Product Overview Size: Outer diameter of 1.50 mm Inner diameter of 0.50 mm Thickness (width) of 0.65 mm (low-speed type can be slimmed down to 0.4 mm) Ball diameter of 0.25 mm x 6 balls Material: Stainless steel Features: World's smallest ball bearings with same pressed-steel ball bearing cage structure as regular miniature ball bearings. Performance: Capable of high-speed rotation of more than 5,000 rpm Uses: Envisioned for use in the moving parts of medical devices, micro-machines and other ultra-small precision devices. Price: Sample shipment price of 5,000 yen/unit  on a rice grain  with a mechanical pencil | |

|  February 18, 1979: It snows in the Saraha. 1979 – for the first and only time in recorded history, it snowed in the Sahara Desert. It was in Southern Algeria and the storm only lasted a half hour. The snow melted off quickly. Last edited by KATZ on 2019-11-09 17:22:55 | |

|  January 10, 2007 So now you've seen it, here's the fact… the squirrels are real life, not computer animated! In total there are 40 squirrels, which were professionally trained by The Nut Room Animal trainer Michael Alexander and his team. They spent a total of 19 weeks training these squirrels for that one scene! | |

Well I guess some folks are crazier than me. I've been feeding the crows around me and saying what I'm feeding them. I also caw to them . In my old neighbor I had four big redwoods in the dirt back yard The crows hung out and some migrating turkeys stopped by time to time . Smart animals B) | |

| January 18, 2018 These reports stem from an article by the Canadian Medical Association, which “diagnosed” each character. However, given that AA Milne died in 1956 and the term “learning disability” wasn’t even introduced until 1963, it seems unlikely that Milne consciously linked each character to a known type of disorder.  Winnie the Pooh: An eating disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), meaning it is very hard to focus he also has impulsivity with obsessive fixations. Piglet: Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The theory states that he may have suffered from an injury that crippled his self-esteem, and that his stuttering problem most likely developed from said injury. Owl: Dyslexia and Short-Term Memory Loss. Even though he’s shown as being exceptionally bright, it’s shown that he has trouble reading. An example would be in Pooh’s Grand Adventure when he mistook the word school for “skull.” Also Owl tends to forget things as quickly as he says them. Tigger: ADHD. Tigger is always seen bouncing and can never stay in one place for a long period of time. Kanga: Social Anxiety Disorder. She is very overprotective of her son, and she would never let her son make his own decisions because of her overprotectiveness. Roo: Autism. He lacks awareness of danger and has an attachment to sitting in his mother’s pouch. Rabbit: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). He is very orderly and obsessive, and the theory also questions his sexual orientation due to his feminine behavior. Eeyore: Depressive Disorder. He always has a bleak outlook on life, and never feels any positive emotions like happiness and excitement. Christopher Robin: Schizophrenia. It is believed that all the characters from above are manifested depending on Christopher’s mood. Last edited by KATZ on 2019-11-12 00:37:14 | |
