"I don't quite know, sir. Between ourselves, I think Mr Holmes had not quite got over his illness yet. He's been behaving very queerly, and he is very much excited."
"I don't think you need alarm yourself," said I. "I have usually found that there was method in his madness."
"Some folks might say there was madness in his method," muttered the Inspector. "But he's all on fire to start, Colonel, so we had best go out if you are ready."
Inspector: Doctor I think your patient has ‘crawling on the floor giggling to himself’ disease :/
In August 1990, at the very beginning of Operation Desert Shield, two F-14 Tomcats were sent to agressively intercept an unidentified fast-moving aircraft. The US Navy was currently on high alert with F-14 Tomcats flying 24/7 to protect Navy boats in the Persian Gulf following an incident where an Iraqi Dassault Falcon 50 "Suzanne", a busines jet outfitted with advanced weapons systems and radars, had attacked a US frigate. The USS Stark had been hit by two anti-ship missiles, killing 37 crew and injuring many others.
With the tensions among US Naval ships high, the two F-14s quickly locked onto the unidentified aircraft. Their systems were unable to identify it as it was flying at a very high altitude, so David "Hey Joe" Parson, an F-14 RIO flying in one of the Tomcats, pulled a camera with a 300 mm lens out of his backpack. Using the camera as a spyglass of sorts, he was able to easily identify the silhouette of a Concorde (and take this picture).
Tunas are giant but also really fast, they get up to sush a speed that the friction in the water creature sush heat that it would give you heat burn. Dolphins could theoretically get faster but bc tuna lack pain resepters in there fins they break no sweat. Big, speedy, agile, work in packs and the best vision of any bony fish. There the raptors of the sea
Salmons are just so hardcore, after living most of there life in sea they will return to were they were born of rivers to spawn, they will return to the exact small location only being guided only there nose think this fish left that spot when they were born haven’t been there in 6 ish and know exactly were it is by a faint smell miles and miles and miles away(doesn’t that remind you of how you will come across a smell and it will take you back to a childhood memory) this instinct is so strong that even whey they are half way dead they will still power trough to get back to start the next generation. This natural behavior is stripped from them when they live there life in fish farms.
I don’t mean to be bummer but even as I was looking up more facts most of them was also companied with how to best catch and kill and best to cook them. Imagine reading 10 fun fact about cats and one of the fact being how good they taste smoked. It’s disturbing, these creature are dead in are eyes before they are alive.
These are actually cool facts! I love that tunas are so fast, somehow I did not imagine they would be considering their size and shape.
And while I knew that salmon always try to go back to where they were born, I still somehow fail to appreciate just how amazing that is. How strong their sense of smell/direction/location must be for them to do it.
And I just can’t imagine wanting to eat these sentient beings after learning this :(
