      I thought about it but, if you cut the tail of a lizard you can get a full lizard.

      If you cut a starfish in half, you get two starfish, which is half as cool

    Damn kids and their young bones. If my kid breaks a bone it’s a couple weeks and done.

    If I break a bone it’s going to be months, probably PT and random pain in that area for the rest of my life :/

    Damn, I remember a big fall from stairs I suffered as a kid, scrapped a good chunk of skin from my knee but made full recovery in a couple of weeks, nowadays the lightest bruise leaves me permanently scarred 😮‍💨

      I remember being a kid and falling on my face then getting up and running. Now I fall on my face and need an ambulance for a bruised rib.

    Actually… Why is it “Lizard” but “Blizzard”? “z” sounds exactly the same as “zz”

      lesarde >> lizard (c. 700-1300 ad) - slow process over hundreds of years of evolving from a mix of languages but at this point heavily influenced by the French

      unknown etymology, maybe blitzartig >> Blizzard (1870) coined overnight by a newspaper guy in the era of muck raking, yellow journalism and the birth of the tabloid.
