Surinam toads – Having babies the weird way….
Surinam toads are most well-known for their remarkable reproductive habits. The partners rise off of the floor while in amplexus and flip through the water in arcs. During each arc, the female releases 3-10 eggs, which get embedded in the skin on her back by the male’s movements. After implantation the eggs sink into the skin and form pockets over a period of several days, eventually taking on the appearance of an irregular honeycomb. The larvae develop through the tadpole stage inside these pockets, eventually emerging from the mother’s back as fully developed toads, though they are less than an inch long (2 cm).
The Great Trafalgar Square Freeze
The day London froze. Inspired by http://www.ImprovEverywhere.com and made a reality by 100’s of volunteers. At exactly 3:30pm on a secret cue, almost everyone in the square froze. The few bewildered tourists didn’t know what was happening. For 5 minutes the participants held their positions, and then magically everyone unfroze.
Do you cook with bacon grease?
The question is: Do you use bacon grease? We were raised on bacon grease as kids and even into adulthood, but I just threw out my last 2 TBLS and will never use it again. I hope you will throw yours away whenever you fry bacon from now on. It seems as though nothing is safe to eat anymore.
This is what happens when you keep cooking with bacon grease. This is a warning, send this to everyone you care about. It could happen to you… !
Bacon grease will make your feet small!!
Thanks June
