That's interesting about birds feet. I was told after I first build my chicken coup that I had better hurry and put a perch in it because the birds sit on their feet and cover them with their feathers so they don't freeze. I was also told that chickens that had black patches on their feet suffered with frost bite in the past. I wonder if the cold weather adaption is only for birds that naturally inhabit cold weather areas.

10. The Tick
Oh my. He looks like a television with antennae sticking out from the top. And did they really have to make his fake abs so pronounced in this rubber suit?

I'd like to have that tree on the West side of my house. At about 4:30 in the summer, when the sun hits the west wall the second floor room temperature shoots up 10 degrees.

“Tom, you wouldn’t believe it! That mouse was huge! At least six feet tall!”
“We’re in Australia, Phil, that was a kangaroo.”
“Oh.”
