Random Fact: The inventor of the frisbee ended up becoming a frisbee himself after he died. During the 1950s, Steady Ed invented the frisbee, and later on the sport of disc golf in the 70s. He dedicated his life to frisbees so much that it was stated in his final testimonials that he wished to have his ashes turned into a frisbee. This was so that he would be able to play with his son even when he was no longer around.

Random Fact: Playing EDM (electronic dance music), specifically dubstep, wards off mosquitoes. According to a study in 2019, the song ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’ by Skrillex contains both low and high frequencies that yellow fever mosquitoes dislike. So, I guess mosquitoes aren't a fan of sweet bass drops. Their loss! Dance, dance, dance those mosquitoes away!

Gills have a high surface to volume ratio of delicate respiratory tissues. Operculum, per Oxford Language dictionary: technical term for gill cover, along with a structure than closes over an aperature.

Then they rub their head on the herd. Billys here will rub off on Katy as she is Mom. Marking. Claiming.

I’d rather have a skunk in the house than a Billy goat in the barn, mercy.

3) The Australian Shepherd is not actually from Australia—they are an American breed.
4) … And the Labrador Retriever is originally from Newfoundland.

Every civilization carries the seeds of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all.

The Republic is born, flourishes, decays into plutocracy, and is captured by the shoemaker whom the mercenaries and millionaires make into a king.

The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented.

~Mark Twain
