If on one hand you shot a gun along a horizontal path across the ground and in the other dropped a bullet out of your hand, both would hit the ground at the same time.

Not too hard to believe when you remember that bacteria are much smaller than our cells. Some Neurons are the length of the spine, in the case of whales or dinosaurs this means a very long cell. The biggest cell nowadays is probably the yoke of an ostrich egg.

I know this was posted 3 years ago but funny anecdote.

My friend was walking his jack russle and a baby crow learning to fly fell out of a tree. The dog ran for it but he managed to grab him before he got to it. Even still the mammy wasnt impressed and swooped at the dog. The next day walking down it came again.. And the next. He said it went on so long the dog would walk that root any more.

I love crows myself. They are crazy smart birds

Rat poison thins the blood to the extent they bleed internally. It is very close to the substance also prescribed for people who have had blood clots.
