There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Capybara - biggest cousin to guinea pig.
There is a "middle" sized job called a mara.

Re: The Natural World
Thanks, Dave.
Re: The Natural World
Maras are great, they are like a cross between a hare and a small deer - because they fill similar niches in the environment. Capybaras are water margin dwellers and can be very heavy (and tasty I am told).

Looking forward to next weeks eclipse, we are getting 97% coverage, the best in the UK apparently.
From MSN.
"Shetland expects to be one of the darkest places in the country, with an eclipse of approximately 97%. Sumburgh lighthouse, at the southern tip of the Mainland, will be live-streaming images of the cosmic event to the Rosemount observatory in Cornwall, where a total eclipse was viewed in 1999.
Dedicated solar eclipse cruises will be stopping off in Shetland and Orkney, with more than 2,500 passengers heading north to take advantage of the islands’ dark skies and minimal light pollution."

Hope you get clear skies Alan. Enjoy
In 1999 it was dreich here so we walked in the woods. My children really enjoyed the creepyness of the diminished light yet it kindled their curiosity of what's beyond our pale blue dot.

WTF, Evolution?!
All about strange animals that evolution created. With conversations with evolution such as this one...
All about strange animals that evolution created. With conversations with evolution such as this one...
“Okay, okay, I’ve got one. ‘Sloths.’”
“Sloths?”
“Sloths! They’ll live in trees and climb around and eat leaves.”
“That sounds pretty cute, evolution. But leaves aren’t all that nutritious, are they? How are they going to get enough energy to climb around?”
“Oh, I thought of that! They’ll supplement their diets with algae that they grow in their own fur. I even put special channels in their hairs to collect rainwater and keep the algae moist.”
“Huh, okay… but then what are the algae going to feed on?”
“Thought of that too. They’ll be fertilized by all the moths that also live in the sloth’s fur.”
“Wait, what? Seriously? Moths? And how are the moths going to reproduce? Their larvae need to eat something too, you know.”
“Yup, thought of that. Once a week, when the sloth needs to poop, it’ll climb down from the tree and poop on the ground. Then the moths can lay their eggs in the dung, and the larvae will eat that.”
“Okay, this is ridiculous. I mean, doesn’t climbing down to poop defeat the whole purpose of living in a tree? Won’t that make it stupidly easy for a jaguar or something to come along and eat them?”
“Well, yeah, that does happen. Kind of a lot, actually.”
“And?”
“Look, no system’s perfect.”

One heck of an idea!
But nothing will cope with the current load of nano/micro particles already on the sea floors and in deeper suspension.

We're not told how much training/practice the crow had had before this, but still very clever.
