And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The jaws of an ancient Megalodon shark that lived around 23 to 3.6 million years ago vs. a modern-day Great White.
A while ago I was talking to a friend's son about the enormous creatures that existed then. He wanted to know why things grew so big. My explanation was that as there was a high concentration of atmospheric carbon plants grew tall and lush, herbivores grew as they ate them, carnivores grew as they ate the herbivores. I think I may have caused a minor brain melt.
Me when I haven't eaten all day. I engulf each bite and embarrass people nearby. Makes my dog jealous too.
ReplyDeleteThey don't make them like they used anymore....

ReplyDeleteThat can't be a full-grown great white, not even close. That's more like an 8-footer.
