Another awesome animal vid. This one is where a monkey was electrocuted at some India train station and his buddy works his/her butt off to try to revive him…he pulls and bites him and even throws him into water. Pretty incredible.

My cousin sent this to me. He read the article and then went to see for himself. He found three new vacuum cleaners in the boxes that he is going to sell.

This isn’t a big secret. Any local trash pick-up will give you a pamphlet or something that tells you what the recycle place really will accept. Many of these recyclable items has that little triangle on the bottom of it and it has a number on it. I believe my place will accept stuff with a #1 or #2 and maybe a #7 or something but will not accept any of the other numbers. You’re supposed to throw those away. The same goes for “printed cardboard.” You can recycle cardboard but if it’s got printing on it (like a cereal box or pizza box) it’s no good and they can’t reuse it. So you throw those out too. Though the article putting the blame on China is a bit silly…
And, yeah, I believe the dumpster diving. Places throw out stuff for the dumbest reasons, especially if a customer returns it and says it’s broken…they don’t have time to test it and can’t put that back on the shelf and many manufacturers don’t “take back” stuff, so they toss it. Of course, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to dumpster dive, many places have cameras and all the time to sell stuff would be a pain. But to each their own.

Knew about mycelium, but never thought about how other plants could use it. Have a big chunk of fungus under the front lawn. When it gets close to the surface, it creates fairy rings of mushrooms and the grass actually gets greener in circular patterns where nitrogen is more plentiful from it.
The largest living organisms on earth.
Nature always finds a way.
And we think we are the advanced ones
very cool. I’ll never look at sand the same way.

^Day-umm. That’s a long way down. I love that they have ‘Superdeep’ as part of its actual name.

^Wow, that video is fantastic. Nice work, snake.
“We’re not discovering anything. Most of the data that we’ve worked with is collaborative with Aboriginal peoples… They’ve known this for probably 40,000 years or more.”

I started this thread with a post about people using monkeys to ward off smaller monkeys on a train. This article mentions the monkey security practice:
In a bid to curb the monkey problem the city ‘employed’ larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

One minute you are collecting dry wood, the next you are being stoned to death by monkeys. Life comes at you fast.
