    Rhinos, fire, and baby condors

    I cannot find a source... not one piece of information regarding the strange fire extinguishing behavior of rhinocerii. I have to say that I do not know whether or not rhinocerii actually do stomp out fires when they come across them in the wilderness. If anyone has any information, please contact me and put my mind to rest.

    In other animal news... a California Condor chick has hatched in the wild for the first time in 18 years. If it survives, it will be the 183rd member of this rare bird poulation. What a way to spend $40 million.

    Oh, yeah... and a five year old boy has patented a side-to-side method of swinging on a swing. Don't I wish I had been that business minded as a child.
