   Will Shortz’s “Degree” is from Indiana University, after designing his own Major through IU’s “Individualized Major Program” in 1974. I guess it’s easy to get a degree when you design your own curriculum.

   Why Can’t Moths Fly in an Earthquake?Moths use their antennae and other body part sensors always to know where they are in the world. They can also gather data that lets them know which way is up, forward, and down.

   This helps create a balanced moth and allows it to fly efficiently.

   These signals are thought to be jumbled or lost in translation during an earthquake as the entire earth shakes around them.

   It cannot gather the orientation it needs for its brain to tell its wings where to go and how to fly. In other studies, scientists have removed the moth’s antennae to see if they could fly, but they could not.

   Learned an interesting tidbit a couple days ago… As we all know, camels are not indigenous to Australia. They were brought over as pack animals in the 1800’s during the exploration of the more desert-like parts of Australia, but were casually released into the wild after the introduction of motorized vehicles. Eventually, they grew to become the largest feral herd of Dromedary camels in the world. Their numbers were estimated to be over one million, until a culling program reduced their numbers. Wild camels in Australia are also exported TO Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Brunei, and Malaysia.

    It WAS the perfect answer. Which is why, naturally, it was the WRONG answer. Just goes to show that no matter what a husband does, he’s wrong.
