Mated turtles share their shells!

Not always but often when a pair of turtles mates, the male will leave his own shell and move in with the female. After doing so the couple will coordinate their arm and leg movements to walk and even swim.

I call this “Trying to get notes with false facts.”

[facts-i-just-made-up]

I assure you, Facts-I-Just-Made-Up would never post false facts just to get notes. I also do it to confuse, misinform, and hurt people.

Got a dress for Christmas that matches my everything.

I’ve repeatedly seen British people make fun of American food for apparently always being either “too sweet or too salty” but our cuisine is still pretty mild compared to a lot of other countries, and having repeatedly tried British food, I’m pretty sure the term you’re looking for is “having any flavor at all.”

Britain invaded over half the world for spices and then decided they didn’t like any of them

Snowy canyon

In 2012, the Grand Canyon was hit by a nice snowfall on December 24, creating a lovely winter landscape. Interestingly, you can make out the actual temperature structure of the canyon just from this photo. Look at the snow levels – the lowest level where I see any snow is on top of the Redwall Limestone.

In other words, during that snowstorm, there was enough of a temperature gradient that the canyon’s upper levels were below the freezing point of water while the lower platforms of the canyon were warm enough to only see rain.
