Dolphins can develop diabetes! The mummified body of Australian aborigine Tambo Tambo was sent home for burial in 1993 after lying in a funeral home in Cleveland, Ohio, for 109 years! The national anthem of Spain has no words!
That’s good because the words to most national anthems are either just bad or totally embarrassing. In fact I can’t think of a good one atvall offhand.
Burning out the pancreas with large amounts of sugar is the main cause for diabetes in this society. People who consume soda, candy and high grain processed foods like McDonald’s regularly are most likely to develop diabetes as are the children of parents who practice these same unhealthy behaviors. Corn, which is high in sugar, is the first ingredient in high grain pet foods that most people feed to their pets, causes the same diseases in dogs and cats that humans develop. These animals were not designed to eat corn or another high grain diet anymore than cows were, yet it doesn’t stop people from feeding it to them. Pet meds is as popular as big pharm for people, but most people don’t even wonder why, they just accept it. Now, with all the garbage that is dumped into our oceans as well, we humans won’t dare exclude marine life from our lovely array of diseases.
Spain doesn’t have words or lyrics because Spanish, or better said Castilian is a imperialist language in Barcelona, they speak Catalane, and the same happens in Galicia, where they speak a language similar to portuguese, so without words they avoid humiliating their egos.
It would appear that the funeral home had some respect for his remains. They preserved them in their basement for over 100 years. They probably didn’t know where his next of kin were but didn’t want to just dump his body or bury it in an unmarked grave.
Yes, indeed. If my insulin was $100 a vial, I’d be a dead man myself. Thank God for medical insurance! While it can be a pain in the gluteus maximus, it more often comes in very handy, at least in my experience.

How did the dude get to Cleveland in the first place? Was he on loan from Australia and they forgot about him?

It almost looks like a happy announcement: “Hey, kids! DIABETES! Isn’t that great?”

Dolphins may hold the cure for type 2 diabetes. Some how they are able to turn their diabetes on and off as needed. Very interesting.

I didn’t know Buddy Ebsen had aborigine ancestry. There’s an uncanny resemblance.
