In the 'Greenest club in Scotland' thread one poster stated that beavers are not fish. The thread was locked before I got the chance to comment so I'll do it here:
In the 17th century beavers were classified as fish by the Catholic Church so that their meat could be eaten on Fridays. So were capybaras.
Pirates wore eyepatches so that when they went below deck out of bright sunshine they could lift the eyepatch and have one eye already accustomed to darkness.
Same reason that cabin lights are dimmed at night and on bright during the day with window blinds open on an aircraft.Quote:

Both are basic emergency situation prep.
I think it's the other way round - if they were attacking ships in daylight they needed to be able to identify enemies as soon as they went down to darker, lower decks.Quote:

Always thought it was a grey/blue colour......and I've been TWICE lol.Quote:

The Hibs team in the 1958 cup final against Clyde didnt contain any players 6'0 or above in height.
There is no recorded case of someone who was born blind developing schizophrenia. However someone who loses their sight at a later stage in life is at a slightly increased risk of developing it.
Zero is an even number

When dying, life flashing before your eyes is meant to be the brains reaction to an unfamiliar situation trying to find solution to whether we've been in the predicament before
