There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.

If he liked it he should’ve put five rings on it
So a Norwegian biathlete cheated on his girlfriend at the Olympics (many such cases) and then told her about it on the phone (fair play) she dumped him (which I respect) and he then gave an interview where he told the whole world about everything in an attempt to do penance or something
What happened? WHAT DID I MISS? Sounds interesting.....
