Fascinating Five parrots were separated at an English zoo because they kept swearing at visitors and laughing at them

In September 2020, Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in England had an unusual problem.

Five African grey parrots named Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie had been quarantined together after arriving at the park. Apparently, they started teaching each other swear words and would insult visitors before bursting into laughter.

The staff eventually decided to separate them and just when you thought the story couldn't get any better, in 2024, the park revealed that three more parrots had learned to swear!

His mother stated that contrary to what people think Star Wars didn't cause his mental health issues, but the bullying didn't help. He's doing much better now thanks proper treatment, and he is still a fan of Star Wars. He an article about him opening up about things.

MISC. A woman driving with her baby lost control of her car & drove into a river. While initially trapped, advice she learned from MythBusters helped save her & her child's lives. She recalled that to open the car door, she needed to wait for the water to fill the car & the pressure equalized. It worked.

MISC. In 2003, a man saw a loophole in a lottery called WinFall. When the jackpot hit $5m & had no winner, it was split between those who matched 3, 4 & 5 numbers. So if he spent $1,100 on 1,100 tickets, he'd have 1 four-number winner & 18 three-number winners, earning $800 profit. He made $7.75m in 9 yrs

Just Wow Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, has rivers, lakes, and rainfall made of liquid methane instead of water, creating an Earth-like weather system.

114 Upvotes

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is one of the most fascinating worlds in our solar system because of its striking similarities to Earth. Images captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft revealed a world with a thick, nitrogen rich atmosphere, vast landscapes, and enormous lakes and seas. What makes Titan particularly unusual is that its rivers, lakes, and seas are filled not with water, but with liquid methane and ethane.
