    Some my believe that your genetics comes from members of nomadic shepherd tribes, feeding mostly on their herds (meat & blood & milk) having plants only if they found them (partly digested) in herbiovres' stomachs.
    Makes certain (common) sense to me, which usually means it's untrue.

  5. This little #factoid is told to you thanks to Mr goto my Asian cultures teacher in high school

    he told it very funny he said why am I teaching you all of this?.. because when you go up to the Asian museum in San Francisco with your son and he points it a big statue with a belly and asks dad what is that? You can say that's a corruption of Ganesh

    And then when another dude comes up with his son and his son asks what that is and the father says that's a Buddha son

    You can turn around and as you are walking away you can say that's not a Buddha son if it were a Buddha it would have ushanika on its head

    I am 55 years old, that was 40 years ago and I still remember it which is testimony to how important and how unappreciated qualified #teachers are especially in this country

  19. #BeaverWeek #Factoid

    A Beaver's tail is flat, leathery, and sparsely haired. Beavers use it as a rudder for steering while swimming and as a prop to balance when standing or sitting on land. They will slap their tail on the water's surface to warn other Beavers of danger. Beavers store fat in their tails, especially before winter, to help them survive periods with limited food.

    A Beavertail is also a famous Canadian pastry that was introduced in the winter of 1978 to skaters on the Rideau Canal. It's a great way to eat Beaver without harming any animals.

    Beaver teeth are unique due to their iron-rich orange enamel, which makes them exceptionally strong and resistant to wear. These teeth continuously grow throughout the beaver's life, requiring constant chewing to maintain a manageable size and sharpness. The iron content in the enamel is what gives them their distinctive orange color and provides added strength.

    European beavers are, on average, slightly larger and heavier than North American beavers, although both species have significant size variation within their populations.
