Name an interesting fact you found out during the quarantine

Today at the zoo I witnessed a male asian elephant kick his own penis to get it to recede back into his body.

 

Did he get some junk on the trunk?

 

His junk was the same size as his trunk... pre-kicking

 

Maybe he didn't want to drag it around his filth, no joke

 

Just a question....

Why are you at the zoo looking at elephant ****?

I'm assuming this was by choice?

 

I had already seen the gorillas ****

 

Oh don't feel special, he shows that to everybody.

 

It's hard to miss.

 

Keith Haring was white from the midwest.

His art was the **** among young urban blacks in the 80's.

I wish I had some of his stuff.

No more ****ing in Austrian village

The villagers have been attempting to change the name for years, reports DPA, and have grown increasingly frustrated with tourists and the theft of signs.

'Fugging' was chosen as it better represents the way the name is pronounced in German.

Internet users however - and particularly those from the British Isles - have pointed out that Fugging is often used as a censored version of what the town was formerly known as.

The town had been known as ****ing for more than 1,000 years.

Founded by Focko

Some have reportedly even stolen the signposts, leading the local authorities to use theft-resistant concrete when putting up replacements.

The village was first officially inhabited from around 1070, but local lore suggests that a sixth century Bavarian nobleman called Focko actually founded the settlement.

A map dating from 1825 used the spelling Fuking.

Just across the border in Bavaria in Germany, there is another village called Petting.

As yet, there are no plans to get too hasty and follow ****ing by getting rid of Petting, although if they do 'Pegging' is probably off limits.

 

Versailles smelled like a cesspool.

And Louis the 14th only bathed maybe 3 times in his life.

Mel brooks was dropping knowledge and I didn’t even realize it

 

What's the biggest group of animals ever recorded on Earth?

[A] clue from history suggests that locust swarms can grow much more numerous, given the perfect conditions. In 1875, an amateur meteorologist named Albert Child stood, bewitched, as locusts whizzed across the sky in a swarm that ultimately cloaked a large portion of the western United States. The species was the Rocky Mountain locust, and Child estimated the swarm covered an area of 198,000 square miles (512,800 square km).

This historical event became known as 'Albert's Swarm', and based on Child’s estimates, it was thought to contain not millions, not billions, but trillions of insects. Three-and-a-half trillion, to be exact. And that, in fact, is thought to be the largest number of animals in a group ever recorded by a human. Rocky Mountain locusts have since gone extinct — but their historic flight offers us a cautionary look at those other swarms, gathering across the planet today.

It's overwhelming to contemplate what several trillion locusts looks like. But, take a breath, because there's one final contender on our list...

I learned recipes from the 1800's could be rather simple :

 

Why is this guy giving a detailed breakdown of the flavor profile. It's roasted onions with some salt.

It tastes like ROASTED ONIONS - which are terrific. He's acting all surprised and it just bothers me.

 

The odds of being killed in your home by a duck are low, but never zero

 

Laughed so hard at it. I was waiting for some special technique, but nope ... just throw it in the oven... then eat it. Some of the comments had me rolling. But I wonder if it tastes any different or better because he didn't peel it? lol. Still laughing at that video.

 

A hypothetical hell would be to watch that video on repeat for 1,000 years or something
