      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble-net_feeding

                  As the group circles a school of small fish such as salmon, krill, or herring they use a team effort to disorient and corral the fish into a net of bubbles.[3] One whale will typically begin to exhale out of their blowhole beneath the surface at the school of fish to begin the process.[3] More whales will also start to blow bubbles while continuing to circle their prey. They corral the fish into a tight circle while creating a net of bubbles to surround the fish and keep them from escaping.

                  Here's a view of humpbacks eating when D4 and I were in Boston in 2015.

                  Link to video

                  Note how the birds know something's going on. They begin to circle when the ocean water's color turns green-ish because of the bubbles.

                  It was a pretty remarkable thing to see.

                                I wonder if it sits for hours on a big high branch while it's friends and family laugh at it for not being able to pluck up the courage to take the big dive, and worries about whether it's feathers will all come off when it hits the surface and it will look all stupid and have it's willy exposed.

                                I suspect not. It doesn't look as though it spends much time worrying about pointless shit.

                                I was only joking

                                    88 minutes seems quite a while to be in a toad's digestive juices. But ten I don't know much about toads. Brenda?
