Pigeons and Gene Pitney

Pigeons don't like going to the movies because they see the world ten times faster than humans. To them, a film (movie) is a slow slide show.

 It was once believed that a pigeon's ‘backside’ could be used to suck out the poison from an adder's bite. (Pigeons are the only bird that can suck).

The largest living thing on Earth is the honey mushroom (I have never heard of a ‘Honey Mushroom’, so I looked it up and put a post on Augusta’s blog about them).

 The ant has the largest brain in comparison to its body size of any animal.

 There are 8,000 species of ant.

 Soldier ants were used by the ancient Indians as stitches in operations.

 In Thailand, red ants are poured into open wounds, because they secrete an acid that acts as an antiseptic and a painkiller.

 A mybloggers butcher, hog snout, and Gene Pitney are all kinds of apple.

Fascinated by the earthworm question. Human seems to remember in college biology that they reproduce by shedding their sheaths or something, so maybe the adults don't survive but more baby worms appear after the thaw. Or not. Who knows?

Earthworms can survive the short winters OK. They survived 10,000 years of ice sheets and glaciers. They do NOT breath air, by the bye.

Thanx for the info Jon Strange how they don't breathe air isn't it?
We live in a strange world indeed.

I would love to find out just how 'earthworms' have been coping throughout Britain, during this (for us) long period of Ice and Snow. The ground has been frozen solid - even causing damage to concrete 18" thick that bedrock had layed years and years ago outside!
Do worms have to come up for 'air' etc? Gotta find out . . .
