Polar bears often hunt walruses by simply charging at a group of them and eating the ones that were crushed or wounded in the mass panic to escape. Direct attacks are rare.
Never telling a lie will save you a lot of time down the line.
The group of spikes at the end of stegosaurid tails is called the “thagomizer.” They had no distinct name until the term was coined in 1982 by a cartoonist.
When you are walking down First Street one night holding your ripped black bra after having had an American Psycho–style make-out with a debauched brute in a blue button-down, believe, please, that the world is still safe and you will find your place in it. One day a man will grill you fish by the sea. He will stroke your hair during the C-section surgery of your second child. Know this: One day you will stand in the bare raw light nude in front of this man, and he will love you.
Don’t be fooled by the barefoot bohemian flaunting her lithe grace and lightness of being. Even the most laissez-faire of laid-back ladies have spent considerable time assessing their ass in front of the full-length mirror, practicing the art of “I don’t care”, and their outfit and their ennui.
@FrankZ this is something interesting: There is a correlation between pulling an all-nighter and snapping out of depression. This is because the brain gets more active the longer it goes without sleep.
There is no place like home. There is no place like home. There is no place like home.
Adult cats only meow at humans, not other cats. Kittens meow to their mother, but once they get a little older, cats no longer meow to other cats.
There is a United Arab Emirates territory inside Oman’s territory that itself is inside the United Arab Emirates country. It is called Madha village.
WELCOME TO PAGE 130 _ THE PAGE NOBODY WILL READ !!!
Disappointment Island is an uninhabited island in New Zealand. Over 65,000 pairs of white-capped albatross live there. In 1868, a steel tanker crashed on the island, killing 68 people, leaving the 15 survivors waiting 18 months to be rescued. In 1907, another ship ended up crashing there, and 12 men drowned. Talk about Disappointment!!
During the entire run of Gilligan’s Island, it was never revealed if “Gilligan” was his first or last name.
Probably why I am always (mostly) happy.
When Jorge Garcia first got the part on LOST as Hurley, he lost a total of 30 pounds in weight before filming started.
The faint crack you spackle in the ceiling today might save the house from holy mess when the beasts come huffing and puffing. But just in case: Have a heavy sweater handy. Gets cold out there with the wolves.
Lol, we should be always Happy
Touch your third eye, tenderly, twice a day.
When headed uptown to lunch with the ladies, tuck a piece of pyrite in your purse.
Videogames have been found to be more effective at battling depression than therapy.
Page 130 and I am going offline, will continue at night(maybe)!!
Today’s hard times will one day go dim in your mind like a faint pencil line on a page.
Those voodoo shakes of kale and kombucha will not make you clean and pure. Here’s the thing: You feel fat because you are full of rage. Find out why. Own your part. Write down who you hate and what they’ve done to hurt you, and pray, for 10 days straight, that they may feel peace and love, then let them go. If you believe in magic, there will be magic everywhere. The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. And forgiveness, in earnest, is where you will find your freedom.
Have fun !!!
Breathe in pure, fresh air at least four times a year.
Throw away the red beads and green shoes, the old coins and candles, the dried marigold mandala and silver star stickers and sea glass and thrifted slips and eight-by-ten pics that you took of D. that day on the blue sand beach. Keep only one box of your best stuff in the back of the coat closet; burn the rest. Your heart will hurt when you open it once a year.
Don’t flirt with your neighbor’s husband in the foyer, smug as shit, flaunting your new dress and nude lips as you head out to Lit Lounge at midnight. Don’t roll your eyes when his wife, trailed by three kids, is walking through the front door at sunrise dragging diapers and dried pea pod snacks at the same time you’re stumbling home in stilettos. In 13 years, you will be that tired woman with baggy eyes and saggy tits in a stained nightshirt, shushing your wailing baby in the lobby of your building at 8 p.m.; a mother of two whose sum total is still to be determined, scribbling these six words in the black of night, a one-syllable sentence that sounds like a poem: Fuck. Where did the time go?
Qin Shi Huang's tomb
In 1974, farmers in China's Shaanxi province accidentally unearthed one of the biggest archaeological finds of the 20th century — the life-size terracotta armyof Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 B.C. – 210 B.C.).
The intricately carved figures aren't a mystery: Historians know that the clay army was created to defend China's first emperor in the afterlife. What isn't known, however, is where exactly the emperor is buried or what treasures his burial chamber might contain. [See Photos of the Ancient Terracotta Warriors]
A pyramid-shaped mausoleum is located about a mile to the northeast of where the terracotta army was discovered. However, no one has actually entered the mausoleum that holds Qin Shi Huang's remains.
The first emperor's final resting place is the most opulent tomb ever constructed in China, according to ancient documents describing its construction. An underground palace, complete with a surrounding "kingdom," the mausoleum is made up of a network of caves and even included a state-of the-art drainage system. Whether archaeologists will ever have the technology they need to safely excavate the tomb (which also happens to contain extremely high levels of mercury) remains a mystery, as do the many treasures that lay inside.
Atlantis
The lost city of Atlantis has been discovered in the Bahamas, the Greek Islands, Cuba, and even Japan if every claim was to be believed.
First described by the ancient Greek historian Plato in 360 B.C., the mythological island was supposedly a great naval power before sinking into the sea over 10,000 years ago in a catastrophic event.
Archaeologists debate the actual historical existence of the island as well as its most plausible location if it ever actually existed among the many sunken ruins discovered around the world. But even without definitive proof, Atlantis continues to engage the popular imagination like few other archaeological mysteries out there.
Stonehenge
Sprucing up an otherwise docile English field, the prehistoric monument commonly known as Stonehenge is one of the world's most famous landmarks.
The ring of megalithic stones was built approximately 4,000 years ago and was an impressive feat for the primitive people who constructed it but that's about all archaeologists know for sure. None of the theories on the original purpose of Stonehenge, which range from an astronomical observatory to a religious temple of healing, has ever been, well, set in stone.
Ancient animal traps
Low stone walls crisscrossing the deserts of Israel, Egypt and Jordan have puzzled archaeologists since their discovery by pilots in the early 20th century.
The chain of lines some up to 40 miles (64 kilometers) long and nicknamed "kites" by scientists for their appearance from the air date to 300 B.C., but were abandoned long ago.
The mystery might be somewhat clearer thanks to a recent study claiming that the purpose of the kites was to funnel wild animals toward a small pit, where they could easily be killed in large numbers. This efficient system suggests that local hunters knew more about the behavior of local fauna than previously thought.
