Then don't scare them!!

Then don't scare them!!

I have better street smarts than that…

 

[CuriousRick]

Yep. They will vomit when threatened.

So I actually knew this fact. Years ago I was driving and there were a few in the road. I had my windows down. One was late taking off and hit my side mirror I heard something crash in the back seat!!! That was the first thing I thought of, a vulture puking all over the I side if my car!!! Luckily it wasn’t the bird. It had popped my mirror off the car and that was what I heard!!

Why are you trying to give me nightmares?

It was a brand new car too!! It only had a couple hundred miles on it!!!

I have learnt that you cannot make the sound of the clip clop of horses hooves with the shells of pistachio nuts like you can with coconut shells. I had to eat my way through half a bag of nuts to figure this fact out

Holy Grail! Debbie

Holy Grail! Debbie

The Holy Grail is the walnut shell. Makes a clip clop sound but not as cumbersome as a coconut shell

We’re certainly not self-conscious about carrying around emp-tee coconut shells as opposed to lesser nuts.

Dolphins will play with pufferfish in order to get high..

 

[barefootgirl69]

Dammit I'm mad is dammit I'm mad, spelled backwards.

 

[LIDiver]

Dolphins with play with pufferfish in order to get high..

There’s no definitive proof that they do that on porpoise.

It turns out it doesn’t make you blind!

I wish I had saved the article but I learned not only are ENFPs+INTJs a Golden Pair, we are the 1st Golden Pair to be recognized. All other pairs developed later.

My brain can’t remember how the dominant whatever’s and opposite blah blah blahs form this soft science. And yeah, I probably like it because it’s telling what I want to hear, but I have to have some explanation as to why I fuck the same guys over and over again.

When blindfolded, a person cannot tell parmesan cheese from vomit.

The texture is often a clue

46% of women would give up having sex for two weeks rather than logging off the Internet for the same amount of time… I’m not one of those people

Hmmmmm, I'm torn. In 2 weeks I spend a lot of time online. If I could spend, minute for minute the same amount of time having sex, I would happily give up the internet

It's the butyric acid they have in common, but fresh parmesan cheese has some underlying fruity fragrances, while vomit, oh, I don't have to spell that out

Chickens are tested for bird flu with a throat swab.
Kinda makes sense but still ... huh.

 

[MissMaidenMinx]

A group of rats is called a mischief.

My favourite of these is a group of crows is called a murder

I’d give up the internet easy.

Allen (screws) wrenches were developed by the Allen Manufacturing company (1909, produced 1913) founded by W.G.Allen

Robertson screws were patented in Canada (where they are prevalent, commonly known as deck screws) in 1906 by P.L. Robertson.

Philips screws were created by John Thompson in 1932 and the design sold to Henry Phillips who managed to market and sell them where Thompson had failed.

I went down a rabbit hole when it occured to me that each of those had English proper names. Why did I head down the rabbit hole? Because a friend made a comment about having a dozen Allen wrenches from assembling IKEA furniture. Yes, work wasn't terribly busy tonight, I regret nothing
