People interrupt close friends or family more than they interrupt strangers, a study found.

This was yesterday, but I heard that hippos, which I thought for years were herbivores, sometimes do eat meat. Sometimes they even eat their own species.

When vegans were screeching at the OP who had posted this, they posted a link to video of a hippo eating a zebra carcass.

I wonder how many of these animal "lovers" are aware that hippos kill more humans in Africa than any other animal, including lions and other true carnivores.

But I'm beginning to think no animal is really 100% herbivore or 100% carnivore. I know all about how when a predator animal kills its prey, the first thing they normally eat are the guts where all the digested vegetation is. It's like salad with their steak. Yum? :lol:

"La Mode Illustree" was a popular French fashion magazine from the late 1800's.

I bought me two in frames today for just $10.75 :)

That "tangata whaitakiwatanga" is a Maori phrase for "an autistic person." I saw this in a Toastmaster magazine article about Jolene Stockman, a professional speaker with autism.

In China there is a shocking number of infants and toddlers who don't wear diapers, even if they are not potty-trained. Instead they have slits cut in the crotches of their clothes and just pee and poop in public whenever or wherever they feel the need, and the adults act like this is perfectly normal and not gross or unsanitary at all. :eew:

I don't know how everyone there doesn't have E. Coli or cholera. I'm not sure if they even have diapers in China, or people just can't afford them. Sad.

I went up to Mount St. Helens and I was surprised by how beautiful it looks. It no longer looks ugly and last time I was there, it was still all gray and covered with dead trees. Now it's all green and there are wild flowers everywhere and new tall trees and it's been regrowing. Closer to the crater it is still bare but there is wild life around Spirit Lake.

Also the crater is two miles wide and it's five miles to the mountain itself from the Johnston Observatory.
