NATURE, WOW

Spend five minutes in nature and you’ll see what everyone’s talking about, with the mountains and zoos and watermelons. It’s breathtaking.

And what about salmon, just swimming around, completely unfazed by how wet they’re getting? If you want to see for yourself, there are some great documentaries about how wet they get.

There’s such a breadth of animals besides just wet ones and dry ones. There are shy animals, like the hermit crab, and outgoing animals, like the gibbon, shaking you down for your KIND bar in the rain forest.

Nature has trees all over the place. Without trees we wouldn’t have many of the leaves and branches that we enjoy today. If trees didn’t produce oxygen, we’d be dead. If they didn’t produce maple syrup, we’d be dead and slumped over a stack of inedible pancakes.

Horses are by far the most majestic animal that you can lose your life savings on. There are no sure bets in nature, not even Sleeper’s Revenge. 

Seahorses aren’t horses, but be careful: you can lose money on them, too. People are curious about nature.

That’s why there are so many Google searches about it, such as “Which snakes are venomous?” And “Quick remedies for throat closing.” And “Can I write out my will on a leaf ?” And “How to prepare a body for an open casket after lots of snake bites.” And “Explaining to your children that a snake killed their dad.” And “Places to move where there are less snakes.”
