    On January 9, 1493, Christopher Columbus saw 3 mermaids and described them as "Not half as beautiful as they are painted". They were Manatees.

    Fossil trees that have come close to today's tallest redwood heights have been found in northern Thailand. The longest of the petrified log measures 72.2 meters (237 feet), suggesting the original tree towered more than 100 meters (330 feet) in a humid tropical forest about 800,000 years ago.

    Scientists discovered a new type of venomous spider in Florida, one apparently related to the tarantula.
    Zoo Miami announced in a press release their staff aided in identifying the new species, dubbed the Pine Rockland Trapdoor Spider (Ummidia richmond).
    The creature was first found in 2012 in an area near Zoo Miami by a zookeeper observing reptile research traps.

    Uranus was discovered 39 years before the Antarctic was.


    Kinda weird to think that an entire continent was discovered only 201 years ago.

    Now that's a moth.

    https://www.xxx.xxx.xx/news/2021-05-...e=abc_news_web


    Link not working. Looking for a fix....didn't work. If you are interested in seeing a truly large moth search the following terms..."ABC", "moth" and "Mount Cotton State School".

    Talk about 'exaggerating'.

    Apostrophe in the same place as post #888 that you critiqued.

    Bit of a monster, that one. Thailand has the Atlas moth, I have never seen one, they are said to be the largest moth by wing area. That one however, looks heavier.

    Thailand has a vast number of moths, I am told. I don't see many though.

    I used to occasionally see Atlas moths at dusk, flying through the rubber trees next to my little bed and breakfast in north Phuket. They flapped their wings slowly and looked like huge bats! Beautiful insects.

    It is a fact, i suppose strange also.

    New Zealand pothole penis vigilante threatened with prosecution. Geoff Upson has been spray-painting around potholes since 2018 and estimates that he has made more than 100 drawings.

    Christ he'd be busy in the UK

    ...and the highest concentration of this oddity [almost exclusively] can be found among the traditional Basque population of Spain/France.

    ^ The number of potholes filled in by councils in England and Wales has increased during the past year to almost 1.7 million, a survey suggests.

    Strange, maybe they fill in ones somewhere I don't frequent.
