hi croc-

That won't last forever.

no. it won't, we've been able to stave
it off so far but when you give negative
influences such as faux news, access to
canadian markets, and when people such
as james dobson turn their sights on
canada ... well, let's just hope as a
society we can fend this type of crap
off.

the united states is lost imo - their media
is controlled and, once that happens, its game
over.

it makes me shudder.

Female porpoises talk 3 times as much as males. They name each of their offspring with separate sounds, so they actually can address each one. Their echo location sense is so acute they can detect their prey even if their prey in under the sea floor. Their eyes can see in different directions at the same time. They shut one eye when they sleep, and keep one eye open to spot enemies, allowing one half of their brain to rest.
They jump into the air, and while up there can spot birds up to 5 miles away that are feeding on fish, then go there and eat the fish. They surround the fish, and, one at a time swim in and eat them while the others keep surrounding the group of fish.
They are the best surfers in the world. They have true love for each other, although they do fight at times.
I love porpoises. :•)
