    What the hell do they use to coat the chicken tenders?

    A proprietary blend of meth and PCP would be my guess.

      My son just finished a very educational couple of months working in Walmart.

      I think it's fair to say that his opinion of the human race as a whole has dropped somewhat.

      I was only joking

        Shame on you for not making his baseline estimate more realistic.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

          "At first, I thought it was just a bundle of hay stuck in the branches, but when I looked closer, I realized it was alive. This giant structure was built by Sociable Weavers, and it’s not just a nest... it’s a whole city in the sky. More than 100 bird families live inside it, each with their own little entrance. When you stand under it, you can hear the faint chirps and rustling from deep within, like an apartment block buzzing with life.

          What amazed me most is how long these nests last. The birds never stop working on them. They keep adding more grass, fixing holes, and reinforcing weak spots. Some nests can weigh more than a ton and stretch almost twenty feet across. And they don’t just last for a season, some have been in use for over 100 years, passed down through generations of tiny builders.

          Our planet Earth is full of hidden wonders, where even the smallest creatures can build something extraordinary."

                If you were to shave a tiger, the bold black stripes would still be visible, perfectly matching the pattern of the coat. That’s because the pigments that create the stripes are present in the skin itself, not only in the hair.
                Each tiger’s stripe pattern is unique, much like a human fingerprint. These stripes serve as powerful camouflage, breaking up the animal’s outline in tall grass and dappled light, making it nearly invisible to both prey and rivals.

                      We had a cat who had to have her fur shaved, and her skin was the same pattern underneath

                          The risk of groin injury seems very high!

                              @Axtremus I dont want to diminish that guys talent, but the "hyperbole" seems a bit too much. For me at least, it was good, but did not "blow my mind!!!!!!!" LOL
