In the wild I’ve seen kiwi, kea, Kākā. I took a trip to mana island in the late 90’s, the kiwi were just wandering around during the day…
I’ve never seen the takahē.
True.
I haven’t looked at one since I was a kid.
I know they do, tallest/fastest/biggest etc… But they are all things that always exist.
E.g. the biggest pizza in the world, well before that there was also a biggest pizza it was just smaller than the current one, and before that etc…
I guess anything with a single record, not just the latest in a long string should count.
I think you miss the opportunity to use “correspond-ass chess”
Weird pic to post in spring.
The best part of this reply
They teach that in gunday school.
I wonder how much is embellishment over the years.
If you sawed off your assistants fingers (hard to do with a hand saw); good chance they would also catch gangrene. Far more likely is that at the first sign of a saw hitting your finger, you move it out of the way.
The third person “died of fright”, could have been heart attack. So definitely plausible.
I loved that story; in my imagination paleontologist 1 (P1) sees the cartoon and wonders what the official name is. Gets to work and asks old and wise paleontologist 2 (P2) what the official name is.
P2: I don’t know. I’ll have to ask my venerable colleague (P3) about it next time we are together.
P1: ok cool, I’ll just use “Thagomizer” until we find out the official name.
P2: seems reasonable.
a few months pass…
P2: hey P3 what is the official name of the Thagomizer?
P3: um, I have no idea. I should know, I’m a steggy expert, how about we just keep it as Thagomizer!
I love the Smoot; but for weird units of measure… gestures vaguely in the direction of North America
Curium is named for Marie and Pierre Curie.
These are great examples.
I knew about Petrov. Great humans both of them!
I remember reading about that guy a few years ago…unlucky / super lucky.
While true, I don’t think it counts.
There are a huge number of firsts, that have subsequently had a lot of people do that thing.
However only 12 people have walked on the moon. So more unique than the elements.
Do you like dags?
If you ignore the covers, 1GB could have 1000’s of books.
Just over the ditch… I’ll stay in NZ, too many things that try to kill you in Oz
This map is missing all of the rivers etc… the freshies will get you there.
Do you know what “namesis” means? “A righteous infliction of retribution manefested by an appropriate agent.” Personified in this case by a horrible cunt: me.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
The hose can be sneaky though. See, you think you are finished, you relax a bit more drops out… Now you are really done, you wipe the last little bit. Good to go.
But fuck you, no, sometimes there is a bit half way up that didn’t come out, you get to the door and now the last bit let’s go. Now you are uncomfortable and a little embarrassed.
Does it happen every time, no, but it is an ever present option…
