Capone ? noooooo I was referring to the fact that Roosevelt used the IRS to silence the reporters or used them to deface political rivals
that's about as sketchy as it gets in the political arena.....well sketchy anyway.

I didn't know this so hunted for a hairless polar bear to see what it looked like, lol, and discovered that black skin is less vulnerable to cold damage, which explains your fact. The lighter the skin, the more likely one will be to get frost bite, for example. This goes against some people's assumptions that white skin makes better sense in cold climates (while darker skin still does make better sense in hot/sunny climates)... which makes sense of course, since the Inuit aren't white (apparently white skin is probably a result of a more farming-reliant culture and is for increasing vitamin D absorption to accommodate diets higher in grains in farming cultures and lower UV levels in more northern climes).

"Samuel Morse was inspired to explore a means of rapid long distance communication after suffering a personal tragedy in 1825. While at Washington DC, Morse had received a letter from his father about his ailing wife's sudden death. By the time he reached his hometown New Haven she was already buried. He therefore resolved to devote himself to find a means of immediate communication after this incident."

Elephants can use their trunks to communicate with other family herds up to 7 miles away, using a subsonic vibration emitted from them. When they stand, and raise their trunks, and rotate the end of it over their heads, this is what they are doing.

A lion's roar is louder than a jet engine in rough decibels.

Horses and goats have the shortest sleep cycle of all the livestock animals. Chickens have the longest.

However, Chickens can live for roughly five years never sleeping.

Five years is the rough average life span of a commercial laying hen. A common chicken lays 1-2 eggs a day, though some chicken superstars will lay up to five. However, they sleep the second it gets dark, til the moment it gets light. In the commercial laying scenario, they keep the barns illuminated 24/7, to keep production up! Poor chickens!

Boom's Hammond B-3 organ runs on two speakers as set up for live shows....one sits onstage for Boom to monitor but the other sits under the stage "so that it is sonically isolated from the rest of the sounds."

My dad told me 95% of the world are assholes.

Years of my own research backed up that claim. I can now conclude it is fact.
