When I was a kid we sang “do der do da do, inspect your maggot. Grow maggot grow” to the tune of Inspector Gadget. Good to hear “Peppa Pig. Stepped on a wire, fell into a fire, bacon strips” at my kid’s school. Puerile poetry lives on

Look kid, don’t ask me how my phone knows the clocks changed unless you want a long talk about GPS and how Arthur C Clarke predicted geostationary orbit. Don’t care if you’re 7

Every now and again, the straights of Gibraltar close up and the Med evaporates, then floods. The animals move north from Africa, then get trapped on islands, producing… dwarf elephants en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_e...

Walruses have harems and so the males fight and the female pick the top one. So male walruses are big and females small. Albatrosses mate for life, so are the same size. Humans… nearly the same size en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_...

In a species, if the female “goes for it” with lots of males, then it’s best for males to “flood the area” . So chimps have massive balls and gorillas don’t. Humans? Quite small, stay classy ladies
