    About 1 in 38 people living in the United States resides in NYC.

    being important isn't what's important.
    the kind of world we all have to live in; is.

    Newsflash:
    Reality is what people make of it,
    And, right now, that's virtual reality TV,
    Where everything is always fake news.

    The planet Earth is not perfectly round. It is an oblate spheroid due to equatorial bulge caused by its centrifugal spin.

    Tigers not only have striped fur, but striped skin as well. And like human fingerprints, no two tigers have the exact same stripe pattern.

    After years of debating the purpose of stripes like those on a zebra, researchers have concluded they make them a harder target to track up close when being chased.

    One of the best known novels in the English language is Moby Dick, which was written by Herman Melville in 1851. Incredibly, there are whales still living today who were actually born decades before Melville wrote his book about the giant whale.

    Many bowhead whales, found in the arctic waters off the coast of Alaska, have been scientifically proven to be over 200 years old.

    Whales are among the few animals that often require three to mate. One female steadies another from below, while the male mounts her.

    And a little known fact is that both female whales initially indicate that they are fine with this arrangement until it actually comes to fruition, after which time the male whale gets bombarded with jealous and angry texts from both of the female whales who each claim he was paying more attention to the other.

    I mean, I can't verify this fact, but that's probably how it plays out :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

    Oregon's Crater Lake is over 2000 feet deep.

    [​IMG]

    To give that depth some perspective, if you were to stack the Statue of Liberty on top of the Empire State Building and put them in Crater Lake, they would still be completely underwater.
