    No. Like we honor treaties in the US. Colonization and then universal dominance here we come!

    No. That's awesome though.

    Did you know that 1/4 cup of vinegar in your rinse cycle of the wash is a natural fabric softener, and makes your clothes a little brighter and non-static?, and saves a lot of money not having to buy bounce sheets.

    Well, I think ants do sleep, although who knows what they dream about? Yes, I knew they don't have lungs because none of the insects do; they respirate through tiny holes/tubes in their abdomen.

    Did you know that hummingbirds have to consume half of their body weight in sugar a day?
