    Strangest Animal

    The world's greatest mimic. Lots of birds are capable of mimicking the sounds of other animals, parrots are reknowned for it and crows and ravens are also very good at it, but none of them even come close to what the Lyre Bird is capable of. Attenborough did take a little bit of poetic...

    While I wouldn't describe Greenland as small it's not exactly huge either, smaller than our state of Western Australia. Antarctica however is almost half again as big as the entirety of Canada including all of Canada's islands, or twice the size of the US. During the last global warming event...

    The evolutionary basis for autism? A new SciShow video

    I've hated phones ever since I was little because of this. Something I discovered in recent years though is that I have a lot less trouble hearing voice calls over apps like Whatsapp. The sound is at a much higher bit rate (better quality) than a regular phone connection.

    The evolutionary basis for autism? A new SciShow video

    Audio Processing Disorder - I have a lot of trouble understanding voices in media formats at the best of times. Face to face it's an entirely different matter. I can't use the drive through section of fast food places because if I can't see their faces I can't understand a word they're saying.

    The evolutionary basis for autism? A new SciShow video

    I was unable to watch the whole video, she speaks way too fast in a funny accent and the high pitched voice doesn't help either. I did however pick up on something she said at the very beginning of the video - that Autism is not a new phenomena created by a modern environment. Is that what...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Thinkpads are very Linux friendly so by rights you shouldn't be having any problems. How did you load the Linux ISO on to the external harddrive? If you just opened it in Windows and extracted it's files on to the harddrive then Linux will fail it's own security checks and then installation...

    Strangest Animal

    I've been bitten by an aquatic scorpion commonly known as a Toe Biter, they really hurt. They don't have a sting in the tail like a terrestrial scorpion though, that "tail" is actually a breathing tube. They hunt prey in shallow still water, puddles mostly. Laccotrephes tristis - Wikipedia

    Some interesting facts about global warming and sea level rise - yes, both are happening. A lot of scaremongers have been dramatically overstating how much sea levels will rise by due to a few simple facts of physics that they conveniently "forget". Ice that is floating is already displacing...

    Air temperatures in the polar regions quite often reach -40 degrees (near the same in both F and C) and almost everything freezes solid. That's considerably colder than your household freezer. Ocean currents of course mean that the water never remains perfectly still, it's always flowing to...

    Welcome to the forum Katie. If you can relate to people's stories in here then they may be able to help you better understand yourself.

    It's also why only the surface of the oceans freeze over in arctic winters and why the fish don't get frozen solid, water at 4ºC sinks to the bottom.

    I've never been in one, not sure how well I'd deal with it. When I first got my home here now I was used to living in the bush and didn't like the feeling of being shut inside a box so I left my front and back doors propped open all the time for the first couple of years.

    Strangest Animal

    We have quite a few different species of stick insect here from tiny to huge. They differ from other insects in the way that their two front legs aren't connected to the thorax like with most insects but are instead attached to the back of the head. I was over a mate's place one night drinking...
