Mark me down as one who enjoys these Mind Blowing Facts! I feel like, Paul, that any 'Stack newcomers who struggle with "what to write about" could "spin the wheel" on your stack o' fax, here, and not be lacking for topics that could warrant possible deeper dives! Word to the why's.
Also, the comedy-writer part of me leans toward a smart-aleck remark for nearly every one of these! But, with excretion (did I get that right?) being the better part of valor, you'll thank me for refraining, or my name isn't Dick Cissel.
This series could definitely be prompts or topics for longer articles. I'd love to see people do that. Love "Word to the why's." Thanks for the comment Dick!
You betcha, Paul! I'm convinced, too, that those who name animals (in this case, certain ornithologists), have an axe, of sorts, to grind! How else to explain one of these birds landing on a small African antelope?
As if from an episode of "Wild Kingdom": Marlin Perkins: "It's nature in action, Jim, as we enjoy the rarely-seen bushtit happily alighting on the ever-alert dik-dik! Definitely a joy to behold! We'll be back, right after this message from Mutual of Omaha!"
Thank you! Re: Einstein, he also didn’t believe that forcibly taking land from one group for another group of people would ever pan out peacefully. He turned down multiple requests to be an advocate/spokesperson of the new Israel as a result per his biography.
Love reading facts, glad I came across this! The one that sticks out the most to me, though depressing, is the fact that we spend 90% of our time indoors….
Yeah, that Nixon wasn't rendered very well for sure. The space suits...I don't know what to say. You said it best with the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. :)

Jim, under his breath, "You can behold my "Swinepipe", Marlin"
Cue Kool & the Gang's "Jungle Boogie," indeed!

As usual, Einstein lived up to his name...Thanks for commenting, Thea.
Great "No ways", as usual, Paul!
A high 'No Way' factor in this list!
😊
Apparently, New Zealand people spend the least time indoors (on average 69.7%), It's still a lot, though...
...just pour the oil of those dirty bird names down the drain to my brain...
🤣
Thanks for these Paul! Turns out I've MumRuffins in my garden. Long tailed tits, yep I've got them.
My garden has.
Sounds like a wonderful garden! Glad you clarified...:)

Thanks for finding us! I didn't think about the indoor fact, but you are right, it is kinda depressing.
Love these facts, Paul! Goatsucker is a bird name that gets my imagination running....
Nice, thanks for commenting!
That is WILD about Sugar Ray!
For sure. I feel sorry for the guy.
Jonny Kim for President? 2028?
There you go. Just what America needs!
Amazing facts as always, Paul. Touching one about Sugar Ray.
Thanks Jim, the Sugar Ray fact was surprising.
Wow, some cool facts! Plus....love your AI images!
Thanks Heather!
