    The fastest insect, relative to its size, is also a beetle: the tiger beetle. If a human could run proportionately as fast as one of them, they’d reach speeds of over 600 mph (unless I messed my math up).

    Beetles are one of the most diverse types of animals on Earth, with hundreds of thousands of known species, so it’s no surprise there’s more than one record breaker among them.

    What do they mean the Cowboys haven’t played in Dallas since ’71? They never played a home game?

    Most teams whose home arena is not in a major city usually go by their State names (AZ Diamondback, Cayotes, NJ Devils, MI Heat, etc). Cowboys are an exception.

    The Cowboys play in a city other than Dallas; the Giants play in a state other than New York.

    The Giants (and maybe the Jets) haven’t played in NYC or even NY State since, what, 1976?

    Rhinoceros Day

    A man gets pulled over by a cop for driving with a rhino in his car.

    “Sir, are you aware that driving with a rhino in your car is illegal?” The cop said. The man looks bewildered.

    “Really? I had no clue!”

    “I’ll let you off this time, but only if you promise to take it straight to the zoo.”

    The man agrees and the cop lets him go.

    A week later the cop spots the same man driving with the same rhino in his car. “Didn’t I tell you to take this rhino straight to zoo?” asks the cop.

    “I sure did officer,” the man replies. “We had a great time, this week we’re going to the movies.”

    They used to play at the Cotton bowl on the State fairgrounds of Dallas Texas.

    Once Texas stadium was completed in Irving, they moved there.

    Later, the stadium in Arlington was completed and that’s where they play now.

    Other than my memory, here is a source:

    The only other song was indeed in 1994, “Stay” by Lisa Loeb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_(I_Missed_You)

    The rhinoceros beetle is one of the Little Five of Africa, along with the elephant shrew, the buffalo weaver, the leopard tortoise, and the antlion. I remember easily because they all have names connected to the Big Five.

    The strength of insects fallacy always bugged me.

    What is gravity?

    If an ant or a beetle were the size of a human, they wouldn’t be able to carry their own weight.

    And the NY Giants play football in NJ, and they do not call themselves NJ Giants, I think I know why. If they took the name New Jersey in time they would drop the New call them the Jersey Giant. So, if you consider this, a Jersey Giant is a chicken, what football player wants to be known as a chicken

    Parking at “Jerry World” in Arlington will set you back $100! Football tickets are optional.
