When sperm whales need a nap, they take a deep breath, dive down about 45 feet and arrange themselves into perfectly-level, vertical patterns. They sleep sound and still for up to two hours at a time between breaths, in pods of 5 or 6 whales, presumably for protection. No one knew whales slept vertically until a 2008 study documented the behavior. And no one captured really good photography of it in the wild until 2017 with Patrick Dykstra documenting sperm whales.

“I was photographing this big male polar bear in Svalbard, when suddenly he rapidly started to walk in our direction. We didn’t have time to pack up all our gear and quickly hopped on our snowmobiles and drove away, leaving our gear behind. The bear approached the cameras and tried to look through the viewfinder, licked the back of the camera and went away, continuing his path. Perhaps he was just curious to see what all the fuss is about .. "

One pretty cool geological fun fact is that the Scottish Highlands, the Appalachians, and the Atlas are the same mountain range, once connected as the Central Pangean Mountains.

If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?"

Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to perform in Hollywood's most popular nightclub, The Mocambo, because of her race. Marilyn Monroe, who was a big fan, called the owner and explained that if he booked Ella, she would be there every night, which guaranteed huge press coverage. He booked Ella and Marilyn was there, front table, every single night as promised. Ella said, "After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again."

That's the profit Exxon just posted for Q3, the highest in their
152-year history.

Tell me it's inflation and not good old greed.
