I guess you showed up long AFTER the bug-zapper thread.
FR lore.

I’m going to have to find it. Seriously, it is like the craziness that comes with “Gold Fever”.

Neckless? A pharaoh with no neck?

Informative story, though.

[null and void]

Pretty much every land animal that survived the Chicxulub impact was a burrow dweller/nester.

Nothing much larger than a house cat made it through.

Given that, I’d guess the surviving early birds were like modern puffins, or burrowing owls, to name only two of the numerous modern examples.

AND, burrow dwellers live, nest, and sleep in confined spaces, which due to respiration and relatively poor ventilation, have lower oxygen and higher carbon dioxide levels.

This is like training wheels for devastated earth’s thinned and scorched atmosphere!

That was the event that inspired me to get a dash cam...
