    You’ve missed out the Scottish snow badger. Like the regular European badger but about a third larger and completely white to blend into their (now disappearing) snowy highland habitats.
    They are the sole reason hard plastic shell ski boots were invented after it was found that snow badgers have no problem biting through the old leather ski boots we used to use.
    They hibernate through the summer months and only come out to hunt during the winter so it’s very hard to get a photo of them.





  • I gave my wife a ring made out of coconut. Cost me $2 and she instantly dropped it off the balcony if the resturaunt we were at. The Thai owner of the place climbed off the balcony into the boulder field underneath and spent 20 minutes looking for it. Even after I explained that it was only a cheap coconut ring. He said the price isn’t the point, it’s the memories!
    He found it, what a legend.

    So, apparently, the term goofy came from the 1937 Disney animation Hawaiian Holiday, where goofy was trying to surf and he tried twice regular and fell then when he tried it the other way he managed to stay up.
    This was only so that he would always be facing the ‘camera’.
    This may not be true but I like it and don’t want anyone to disprove it.
