For a pilot study in 2022, scientists fitted 5 Australian magpies with tiny trackers that could only be removed with a magnet or scissors. Within 10 minutes, a female had successfully removed the tracker from a younger bird, and 3 days later, all of them had been removed.

On the first night sleeping in an unfamiliar location, one side of your brain remains alert the entire night in order to “watch out” for potential threats.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

It is a curious coincidence that today in 1914 a young officer, Bernard Montgomery, aka ‘Monty', first saw action near St Python in northern France

I've never been good with things like Binary, so I bought a book titled 'Binary 101' to try and get my head around it.
Absolutely useless. It was apparently the fifth book in the series.

In 1816, the United States built a fort to protect itself from invasion by Canada. There was only one small problem: due to a surveying error, it was built in Canada. It was later known as "Fort Blunder".

Please can we have one whole 24-hour period where Trump doesn’t appear on any news broadcast, news website, social media feed, etc?
Just one day… imagine how much better a place the world would be?

Another one! This is St. Pierre et Miquelon. Population: 5819.
It now has one of the world’s highest tariffs - 99%. The US imported only $3.5M of its shellfish last yr. BUT the island imports ZERO from the US.
So, the idiotic White House formula (imports v exports) couldn’t cope. It spat out 99%.

Among the lost positives consigned to the dusty corners of the dictionary is ‘reck’, meaning ‘care’, ‘heed’, and ‘consideration’. Which means we can be reckful instead of reckless (and feckful, gormful, ruthful, ept, kempt, couth, consolate, and many more).
