The Nonsense Thread

Not exactly nonsense but I didn't have anywhere else to post this and it's my thread so :p

Finally finished the last of my non-fish IDs for my Southwest US trip in January and I made up some stats I thought were interesting:

-114 mammal lifers
  • 24 or 25 new carnivores (that SeaWorld seal is still a topic of debate it seems)
  • 38 new ungulates (not counting Cetaceans)
  • 11 new primates
  • 4 new cetaceans
-304 bird lifers
  • 122 new passerines
  • 20 new ramphastids
  • 3 ratites
-155 reptile lifers
  • 41 new vipers
  • 31 new turtles
  • 4 new elapids

Now onto all my zoo visits since then...

Interesting story - not sure of how accurate it is but it is being carried by a diverse range of media: for fifty years from the late 1940s to the 1990s the UK government was seriously investigating UFOs under the impression that China and/or Russia had managed to capture one themselves and were using alien technology to build super-weapons.

Secret UK files show the Brits thought China had a UFO
 
It looks like the water starts to just spray all over the place about halfway down depending on the wind. I wonder if that was a deliberate design or an oversight.
That's just how waterfalls work. The higher it is, the less water reaches the bottom.

Well yes, I just meant I wonder if the designers took that into account when building it. At the end of the video is seems like some water would blow into the street.
