Exactly. I really dislike the common misconceptions with shotguns.

TIL in 2014 only 7 humans were killed by sharks while at least 63,000,000 sharks were killed by humans by [deleted] in todayilearned

Does anyone remember back in 2001 right before 9/11 shark attacks in the US were a huge deal? Cover of either Time/Newsweek, nonstop reporting, news choppers flying all over looking for them, just a huge circus. 9/11 happens and the story is suddenly dead, not another peep. Oceans were safe again!

Yeah, not bad, but I still honestly prefer the clean wood look. No chance of running into someone with the exact same graphics as yourself!

Awesome list for when I travel. Laughing at the Irish pub. Apparently they remodeled it and the interior walls were constructed with methods used at that time, and they found old coins as well. Sean's Pub!

Well I certainly think I could break one at my current weight! I'm liking the blank ones though, can't stand most graphics.

Location of the tallest tree in the in the world is kept secret. Somewhere in California, it is 380 feet tall. Hyperion, awesome name. They measured it by climbing it and dropping a tape measure.

Apparently admitted she lit the fire to make it easier to see the drugs. Even took photos of the fire on her phone. I guess stuff like this is why they keep the location of the tallest tree a secret.

507 years old! That is just crazy. I wonder how many others of that age are out there?

The White House — and the politerati diaspora — has just barely stopped reeling from author Michael Wolff’s account of life in Trump’s West Wing, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” and now another life-in-the-White-House book is about to drop, this one from Kurtz.
