    Did anyone other than me make those flip page "movies" where you would draw something on the edge of a page, make it slightly different on the next page so it looked like a guy was running, or jumping, or whatever.

    In school, it was a big thing for a while with people getting pretty creative with their drawings/stories.

            Seen on FB:

            Photographer Tony Austin recently captured an extraordinary moment during a 3-hour nature walk. As a murder of crows landed nearby, one of the crows caught his attention with its unusual behavior. Curious, Tony started taking photos—and what he documented was fascinating!

            The crow was “anting,” a unique behavior where birds land on anthills, letting ants crawl through their feathers. The ants release formic acid, which acts as a natural insecticide, fungicide, and bactericide—helping the birds rid themselves of harmful pathogens. Nature’s self-care routine at its finest!

              That is interesting. And how do they learn these things? Instinct? Rearing?

                          I don’t really find that surprising. There’s not been a draft in over 50 years.

                            Yeah. Still interesting to see it quantified.

                            Another (though smaller) driver would be far more women in congress.
