Golfers!
Hole in one
Is quite a feat
Unless that hole

ANIMALS
Part 18 of 32
  • Parrots, most famous of all talking birds, rarely acquire a vocabulary of more than twenty words, however Tymhoney Greys and African Greys have been know to carry vocabularies in excess of 100 words.
  • Pet parrots can eat virtually any common "people-food" except for chocolate and avocados. Both of these are highly toxic to the parrot and can be fatal.
  • Pigs, walruses and light-colored horses can be sunburned.
  • Prairie dogs are not dogs. A prairie dog is a kind of rodent.
  • Rats are omnivorous, eating nearly any type of food, including dead and dying members of their own species.
  • Rats can't throw-up.



    • Dream small dreams. If you make them too big, you get overwhelmed and you don't do anything. If you make small goals and accomplish them, it gives you the confidence to go on to higher goals.
    John H. Johnson



    OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
    William Lloyd Garrison br> Little boldness is needed to assail the opinions and practices of notoriously wicked men; but to rebuke great and good men for their conduct, and to impeach their discernment, is the highest effort of moral courage.
    William Lloyd Garrson



    A headless man had a letter to write;
    It was read by a man who had lost his sight.
    The dumb repeated it word for word;
    And deaf was he who listened and heard.
    Solve this riddle.



    "I want to thank you for making this day necessary." -- On Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis in 1947.



    There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.



    As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
