"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."
~ Stephen Hawking
A group of frogs is called 'an army'.
Hence the term "frog march". *Smile*
Chainsaws were first invented for childbirth.*Envy*
So men won't have to hear their wife/ mom to be, screaming in pain. Chainsaws are much noisier than the birthing going on. Plus, extra wood gets cut for the winter. It's a win-win situation. *Ha*

Totally my witchy interpretation, of course! ...*Witch*
In Brazil, there's a prison where inmates are guarded by geese instead of dogs.
That's quite a bit scarier...
Sunday Word~ incipient (adjective) [ihn-sih-pee-uhnt]: beginning to come into being or to become apparent.
Saturday Word: vituperation (noun) [vahy-too-pur-ey-shuhn]~ harsh abusive language; vitriol invective.
Animals with bigger brains tend to yawn longer.
Who thought, "Let's do research on that"? And why? lol
schnujo - So, if I'm yawning right now (not because it is almost 3 am)...
Thursday Quote: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect."
~Mark Twain.
Dolphins can be ticklish.
ok ...now I gotta write that 😂 😂
Butterflies sometimes drink turtle tears to get essential salts and minerals.
People always look at me weird when I drink others' tears... But, sure, the butterflies can do it. *Rolleyes*
hibiscus - You don't want to know what the turtles get up to... *Vomit*
The first person to use a parachute successfully jumped from a hot air balloon in 1797.
That long ago? Wow!
I wonder about the first person to fail using a parachute?
Icarus...
Sunday Word gubbins (noun) [guh-bihnz] : 1. excess fish parings 2. (British) a foolish person.
I can't say I've ever heard of the second definition. Over here it usually refers to 1/ assorted junk or 2/ a mechanism you don't really understand.

1/ The screwdriver will be somewhere in that drawer with all the other gubbins.
2/ He's been fiddling around in the gubbins of that engine all afternoon.
Saturday Word: turophile (noun) [tur-oh-fahyl] A lover or connoisseur of cheese.
The color pink didn't exist as a name in English until the 17th century. (so it was just a term used in swordplay?)
I learned that not every language has a name for pink. They just see it, as we see light blue, as light red. Huh. And, apparently, some languages have words for colors that we don't really distinguish, either.

It seems that our language has much more to do with our thinking and interpretation of the world than I ever realized before that class.
Thursday Quote: "My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance."
