A killer whale is actually a dolphin (YES shamoo is a dolphin) and is called a killer whale because, well, they eat whales.

Default Food for Thought...

Food for Thought

1. Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
2. A day without sunshine is like, Night.
3. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
4. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
5. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
6. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
7. He who laughs last thinks slowest.
8. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
9. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
10. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
11. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
12. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
13. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
14. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
15. OK, so what's the speed of dark?
16. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
18. Every one has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
19. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
20. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
21. What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
22. I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.
23. Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
24. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.
25. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
26. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.

=======================================

HAVE A NICE DAY !

The most extreme animal is the Water bear (Yes that is a real thing and no it's not an actual Bear; its actually a creature so small that you cannot see it with the naked eye)--
Its also called a Tardigrade and it can survive temperatures as low as -328°F, temperatures as high as 303 °F, 1000 times more radiation than any animal, 120 years without water, and can also survive in a vacuum like that found in space.


Why do I know this? cause i'm a nerd.
