TIL Hamsters don't blink. Well not with both eyes at the same time -they only wink.

So no, it doesn't fancy you, it just has dry eyes, put the poor thing down and back away.

TIL Aussies call bed linen "Manchester"


....because Manchester was a big cotton mill town so boxes containing such items were all marked "Manchester" -not just slang, it's an official name in department stores.

All I saw was double and it gave me a headache. I knew about the muscles controlling the eye but never gave a thought to what they actually did. What I saw was very interesting.

We think we're so smart. Must be because we have language and can tell each other how dumb other animals are. We may be 'smarter', but why do we assume that all other animals are just rolling along on instinct? Like NPC characters in that video game you play....

I'm less convinced of human smarts every day. I do, however, enjoy watching crows. There is always a bit of horseplay. They tease each other constantly and there is more than little swagger in them.
