Box Jellyfish are not only the most venomous jellies to humans, but they also possess at least 24 functional eyes (of various degree) on its body despite having no centralized brain. Four of its eyes always peer up out of the water regardless of the animal's body position; some eyes can make out images, others are more primitive.

At some point during WWII, a young Jewish Corporal named Melvin Kaminsky overheard some Nazis singing songs across the battle lines.

He responded by picking up a megaphone and singing jazz songs by Al Jolson (a famous Jewish jazz singer) back at the Nazis.

Corporal Kaminsky survived the war, moved to Hollywood and became a film director.



He also changed his name to 'Mel Brooks'.

Black swans are native to Australia but not Britain.
However some have inevitably escaped from captivity here and have bred in small numbers. There is an established colony in E.Norfolk on the Broads.
(My spellchecker rendered Broads as B-roads.)

I think he was named by the senate committee as a perpetrator of unamerican activities and was banned from Hollywood for some time. YCNMIU.

Approximately 4% of the sand on Omaha Beach is composed of shrapnel.

Geologists Earle McBride and Dane Picard discovered this when they collected and analyzed sand samples from Omaha Beach in 1988.

Their analysis revealed that the sand contained tiny remnants of shrapnel from the D-Day landings in 1944, including angular metallic grains and small iron and glass beads created by the heat of explosions.

The shrapnel has been broken down over the decades into fine particles, integrating into the beach's sand.

They are, however…..cunts. I camped at Palm Cove in Northern Queensland for about five weeks many years ago, one morning the tides changed and that was the end of the trip
