Pete Seeger served in the army.

WFMT replays Studs Terkel interviews and a Pete Seeger interview aired. The fact came up when Studs asked how many songs he knew.

Pete said that when he was in the army a friend had Pete count up songs that he knew and it was about 400.

Can hippos swim?

Hippos sink in water. They run along the river bottom instead of swimming.

But pigeons are a nuisance.

Yuck but interesting. From Newsweek

Comments on the video of C. gangis, which six days after posting has more than 200,000 shares, express fear and confusion at this strange creature's inflating organs which are each about the length of the rest of his body. The behavior is confusing and makes it look a bit like a sinister alien. But the animal is harmless, as long as you don't eat too many of them.
When C. gangis is just a caterpillar, before it has transformed into its mothy self, it eats plants with alkaloid chemicals. These plants evolved toxicity to discourage insects from eating them, but the caterpillars bit back evolutionarilyin fact, it's necessary for them to eat the toxic plants in order to grow these glands as moths. The more toxins they eat, the bigger their hair-pencils ultimately will be. These toxins also have the added benefit of making them taste terrible

Bubonic plague is still around. Mutations against it have been identified in London and Denmark --- I presume from remains.

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2024/02/14/1231215446/so-you-think-you-know-all-about-the-plague
When a flea itself is infected, the plague bacteria live inside the insect's gut. There, the bacteria create a gooey, sticky material, called a biofilm. This film forms a little plug in the flea's throat, making it hard for the insect to swallow. So when the flea bites an animal, instead of swallowing the animal's blood, the flea essentially vomits the biofilm along with the plague bacteria into the animal's blood."

Marsupials arguably are more evolved than placental mammals.

'For a long time, people have treated marsupials as 'lesser mammals', which represent the intermediate stage between placental mammals and egg-layers, explains Anjali. 'It turns out that marsupials are the ones that are far more evolved from the ancestral form.'
'As a member of the placental mammals, we often have this bias that ours is the group that evolution is directed towards, but that's not how evolution works.'

Stonehenge predates the Celts. The popular theory is that druids designed and built the monument. Carbon dating shows that Stonehenge was there 1000 years before druids settled there.

Chickens and hares were divine in ancient Britain:

*quote*
New radiocarbon dates for bones found on sites in Hampshire (Houghton Down, Weston Down, Winnal Down and Winklebury Camp) and Hertfordshire (Blackhorse Road) suggests brown hares and chickens were introduced to Britain even earlier, arriving simultaneously in the Iron Age, between the fifth and the third century BC.
The discovery of buried skeletons fits historical evidence that neither animal was eaten until the Roman period, which began hundreds of years later.

BBC says toughened skin has fewer nerves.

https://phys.org/news/2009-11-extinct-goat-cold-blooded.html

The goat, Myotragus balearicus, lived on what is now Majorca, a Spanish island. The island had scarce resources, and there was no way for the goats to leave, and so scientists wondered how they had thrived for so long. A recently published research paper reveals the extinct goat survived by adjusting its growth rate and metabolism to suit the available food, becoming cold-blooded like reptiles.

Argonaut octopuses have taken the saying go fuck yourself quite literally. As the smaller male is in danger of being eaten by the female, theyll rip off a special tentacle containing sperm (the hectocotylus) for the female to use to inseminate herself.

Romans drove on the left side of the road.

https://www.history.com/news/why-do-some-countries-drive-on-the-left-side-of-the-road

The majority of people are right handed, one theory goes, so driving or riding on the left would have allowed them to wield a weapon with their dominant hand if they crossed paths with an enemy.
...
In the United States, meanwhile, many researchers trace the beginning of right-hand traffic to the 18th century and the rise of freight wagons pulled by large teams of horses. Since these vehicles often didnt have a drivers seat, drivers tended to ride on the left rear horse to more easily control their animal team with their right hand. As the wagons became more popular, traffic naturally moved to the right so drivers could sit closer to the center of the road and avoid collisions with one another. Yet another major influence was carmaker Henry Ford, who mass-produced his Model T with a left-positioned steering wheel, which necessitated driving on the right side of the road.

HUMMINGBIRDS. I believe this but copied from a site about gardening

Birding experts Kenn and Kimberly Kaufman explain. Its true. When we look at an Annas or ruby-throated hummingbird, for example, were not really seeing green pigment on their back feathers or red pigment on their throat feathers. Instead, those are structural colors. The feather itself is just dull and dark, but its covered with transparent layers of particular shapes that operate like a prism. They bend the light and reflect back only certain colors. This is why the colors can seem to change, too. Those red throat feathers may look orange, gold or even green, depending on the angle of the light.

20.8% in La as Vegas.

I believe this is worth mentioning because being foreign born makes it harder to tell your kid how to succeed socially.

Now to find out what is happening to the people who were taken into custody.

Right. Cause 31% times 38% makes them an overwhelming majority.

This is why I felt so bad when we, the US, started deporting Venezuelans to Caracas.

Probably gamefaqs has it but it is not available to outsiders.

The question is only relevant because so many people think freedom means controlling others.

If you were near Madison and Canal this morning, sorry about your commute.

Over 100 protesters who had blocked escalators leading to the consulate were arrested for misdemeanor trespassing and escorted out of the building, according to Ben Lorber, who helped organize the protest led by Chicago chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace, IfNotNow, and Never Again Action.

https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2023-11-13/jewish-protesters-and-allies-block-israeli-consulate-in-chicago-demanding-a-cease-fire-in-gaza

Chicago protesters cheered Monday as police led demonstrators from the building with hands zip-tied behind their backs, many in black T-shirts that read, Not in our name.
We will not let a genocide happen in our name, said Clara Belitz of IfNotNow Chicago during an Instagram livestream of the protest. Our Jewish values compel us to speak out." IfNotNow describes itself as a movement of American Jews organizing to end U.S. support of the Israeli governments apartheid system.

Then it shows Ramirez-Rosa staring Mitts down.

@cjsdowg It is sad that someone with a sharp intellect such as yourself got taken in by Chicago machine politics.

Above the man whose back you see is Alderman Ramirez-Rosa.

Now we have Ramirez-Rosa staring her down.

(ps Thank you for the link. No hard feelings?)

Link to vid ? So the rest of know what Ramirez-Rosa did?

Or do you just believe stuff?

I think gas went up because of sanctions placed on Venezuela. Now US is relaxing them (perhaps in exchange for being allowed to deport persons of Venezuelan origin to Caracas).

I think the price of food is also due to economic sanctions. That patriotic warmth you get from seeing countries punished is bought and paid for by you when you need to eat.

Firewall?

All good points.

2 Alderman were at it maybe. I want to see.

Republicans are always blah blah running government like a business. quote unquote

Which department brings in the money? IRS.

Do they get the new and shiny offices and the best of the best? Mike Johnson (Speaker of the House) wants to funnel away their budget. If you run government like a business, departments which bring in revenue get budgets so that they can bring in revenue.

What is sad is that they attacked the man.

Good name.

Do I have this right?

The studio complied with union safety guidelines and now wants the actress to pay the cost?

I think it does not matter how trustworthy Eckhart is. I think what matters is a company must guarantee your safety and not put you in a position where you must trust coworkers.

The fact is that most of us routinely trust the people we work with because we have no choice.

I thank above posters for links to the peace movement in Israel.

I wondered why Israel does not have a peace movement. Now I believe that Israel has a peace movement but drags its feet on the inevitable need to protect their freedom of speech.

Just wondering. Did Hamas count on this attitude when attacking a music fest heavily attended by people in the peace movement? Like the powers that be in Israel are this predictable.

did you think they were just not going to fight back?

all they need is to shoot enough rockets at once to get through the iron dome

The Israeli Defense Force is because of US foreign policy and funding. By your logic Hamas should be attacking targets in America. I am most totally not in favor of such a path.

My logic is that Hamas does not share my desire and priority for peace and prosperity in Gaza and The West Bank. I do not not think Hamas is worse than the current ruling coalition of Israel. I have no faith in either body.

At this point I believe Hamas wants its Islamic Palestinian State and does not give a crap if the current residents of the land are all dead. People will come. Or more more likely people will be discarded there. An Islamic Palestinian State will be a destination for deported people.

Dunno about the public domain but the original has a charm which persuades people to overlook the chauvinism. If you are going to reboot without the charm then clean up up the Anglo supremacy.
