Owls also have asymmetric ears, one higher than the other, in order to give them a better sense of the location of sounds.

who would leave a one million dollar painting in the garbage? the original artist who didn’t receive a good enough critique>

I bought a painting that I fell in love with at an antique show for $8. I took it to the Antiques Roadshow ( no kidding!) to get it appraised. They valued it at $100. When I told some people this and they were like “That’s all?!” I told them hey, that’s more than 10 times what I paid for it.

I call that the luck of the draw!

Birds of prey are cool.

Is there a image of a tube on the painting? To continue the theme.

Trash in New York? Perish the thought.

Take care, may Decorated Sanitation Engineer Alphonso McKrushemupvord be with you, and gesundheit.

Eye tubes? That’s a head-turner.
