Although most pine trees are evergreen, some are not. The larch is one genus of pine that loses its needles each autumn.

Seriously! Congrats to the “rotten child” and the papa who helped raise him!

Still have the snow shovel. Now it’s my Arizona Dust-Pan. Outstanding for getting the sawdust and woood scraps to put in the trash after a wood-woorking project, for getting big loads of raked leaves in the fall, or cut grass/hedge trimin’s in the summer.

The rumor that animation king Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen after he died so that he could be "reanimated" in the future is just that: a rumor. Disney was cremated and his remains are buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

There are some types of fish that can indeed "walk" on land. One is the walking catfish, which uses its pectoral fins and tail to move from pond to pond.
