…but a group of candles are called tapers.

But some creatures couldn’t hold a candle compared to those tapirs.

One time there were three strains. One time I was 141 days old.

One time I was 15 years old.

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

USA’s SW has had a 20+ year dry spell

And when a group of tapirs ate a bunch if beans is it a “Candle in the Wind” then?

I have seen an internet meme with two crows. It was captioned “Attempted murder.”

All we have are fossil records of dinosaurs. How would we know what their lips were like?

They were dirty and sweet.. don’t look back.

May the roar be with you as it is with me. And gesundheit.

And just why do we need special names for groups of specific animals?

The Atacama Desert in Chile gets 3mm of rain a year. This has been around for more than 14 years and I think that is pretty dry.

I believe they are using those fungi to dissolve plastic trash in the ocean, but I can’t find the article

I hope those two fungi can be applied to the plastic problem in the world right now.

Which kinds of plastics can those fungi break down? And what are the waste products?

Can we have our plastic bags back?

I guess T-Rex would consider a B J out of the question.

I wonder if a group of candles is called a Tapir?

I can sympathize with Arica, Chile.

I’m in year 8 of my own “dry period”

I wonder how the fungi would work on the Donaldsaurus Trump?

Well, I am happy to hear we don’t have to worry about plastics accumulating in labs anymore.

Why are the tapirs wearing diapers?

Get back to me in 5 years about those plastic-eating fungi and let’s see what they’ve done with them. I heard a similar claim several years ago and I’m still waiting for practical use.
