Hummingbird Facts - Thursday Thirteen 2007-05-06 00:46:00 1. There are seventeen species of hummingbirds in North America. 2. Hummingbird
s flap their wings 50 to 200 times per second. Generally the faster time is in courtship. 3. They can fly up, down, right, left, backwards, upside down and even loop-de-loops! Amazing! 4. They have tiny little feet that are only good for perching, scratching or preening. This means if they wish to move, even a few inches, they must fly. 5. Hummers can starve to death in about an hour. Oh Dear! 6. They eat every 10 minutes throughout the day. 7. Even though they are tiny birds, they consume up to 50% of their body weight in a day. Little pigs aren’t they? LOL! 8. Their main diet is sugar which they get from plant nectar or from kind-hearted people with feeders. 9. They also eat bugs for protein. 10. Hummingbirds have grooves on the sides of their tongues. This is to help catch insects. 11. Their tongues can take up to 13 licks a second. 12. Hummers have very good memories and will even be able to remember w Read more: Thursday

Thursday Thirteen - Cat Facts 2007-05-23 17:08:00 1. Both humans and cats have identical regions in the brain responsible for emotion. 2. A cat's brain is more similar to a man's brain than that of a dog. 3. A cat has more bones than a human; humans have 206, but the cat has 230 (some cites list 245 bones, and state that bones may fuse together as the cat ages). 4. Cats have 30 vertebrae--more than humans have. 5. Cats do not have a collarbone, so they can fit through any opening the size of their head. 6. The cat has 500 skeletal muscles (humans have 650). 7. Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (compared to human's 6 muscles each). A cat can rotate its ears independently 180 degrees, and can turn in the direction of sound 10 times faster than those of the best watchdog. 8.

Thursday Thirteen - Doggy Facts 2007-05-30 17:06:00 The dog was one of the first animals domesticated by humans. Mosaics meaning "Beware the Dog" would be found on doorsteps in ancient Roman cities. The world's first dog show was held in Britain in 1859. People in ancient China stayed warm by carrying toy breeds in their sleeves. The smallest mature dog was a Yorkshire Terrier that was 2 1/2 inches high at its shoulder. The heaviest dog ever weighed 319 pounds. The oldest dog ever died at age 29. The tallest dog ever was a Great Dane who stood 41 inches high. The first living creature sent into space was a female dog named Laika launched by the former USSR on November 3, 1957 (Whitehead et al. 1999). Labrador Retrievers were originally bred to retrieve fishing nets. In the 19th century Dalmations defended carriages against highwaymen and kept away animals that could scare the horses. Monks used the Lhasa Apso as a guard dog in temples. Siberian Huskies have been used to herd reindeer in Siberia for 3000 years.Happy tt! Read more: Thursday

The 38th Time... 2007-07-21 17:21:00 When I read this I could hardly beleive it - its so astonishing! But what makes is convincing is the fact that it appeared in Reuters!!!!!In June, Indian farmer Shiv Charan Yadav, 73, failed his high school gateway exams (normally given at age 15) for the 38th time. That was the good part.The bad part: He had vowed the first time not to marry until he passesResult/ Consequence: He has immediately started studying for attempt number 39.By the way, how do you like the Chemistry Lab File Approach to presenting a news article?
