As a Delta Air Lines jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the co-pilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system.
“Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons, struck the earth at about 40,000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep.“
From the cabin, a passenger was heard to exclaim, “Wow! It just missed the highway!”
Human life expectancy in the wild was less than half the age we currently live to, now that we are in a protected form of captivity with low infant death, high quality shelter and food sources and fewer predators relative to before 1000 years ago.

Fettuccine chickens, however, are lucky if they live another day

The story, as it pertained to the penguin, was worded poorly. (yes I did it on purpose)

I don’t believe a stone or whatever could just jump up and defy gravity enough on its own to fly to Earth. Even shot from a volcano.

Nice to see the penguin is wearing a suit for the occasion.

I honestly think that wild animals would rather have a shorter life in their natural environment than live longer trapped in an artificial one.

That’s not a traditional snowperson, it more like a pile of snow.

Interesting fact I heard yesterday:So far this winter season, Nome, Alaska has receives 4" of snow. New Orleans, LA has received 8" of snow.

Antarctica is an area of about 5.5 million square miles, so who managed to count all the meteorites and classify them as moon or Mars rocks?

COVID-19 is not a joke and should be taken seriously
In fact, it can cause brainrot!
eg … A former patient was so brain damaged afterwards that he wrongly believed he’d won an election that he actually lost by 7 million votes.
