The thing I hate about the macros like the Texas German dialect and the skeleton in the trunk is that they're just enough to be interesting, but not nearly enough to be informative, and sometimes not 100% true as presented.  However, there's usually enough data in them to find something with actual information through Google.  For instance, Wikipedia has a page on Texas German, but unlike the image above, it notes that the dialect is only spoken by a number of elderly persons thanks to hostility to anything German during the world wars, and linguists are scrambling to preserve as much of it as possible before the last of them die.  And the mystery of the skeleton was solved years ago.

well, the macro about the skeleton does say 'its identity remained a mystery until 2017' which indicated to me that it had been solved at that point.

<facepalm> You know, I forgot that by the time I finished reading up all the detail on the case.

Well, yeah - requiring a clean drug test before being allowed to get back to a normal life was a powerful incentive for people who wanted to get back to a normal life.

Nowadays you'd get anti-testers complaining that their rights are being violated by that sort of requirement.

Well they do say as how penguins are among the most aggressive of birds along with, like, emu. After all, when it comes to fight or flight, they only have one option.

They say that if hummingbirds were the size of crows, we'd all be in serious trouble.

After having seen a humming bird harass a falcon? I believe it.

Don't have to tell me, man. There was a twelve foot radius of lawn around one particular tree that never got mowed one summer because the hummingbirds built a nest in the bottom branches, and were quite adamant about not letting that roaring beast with the red hide and glowing silver eyes near, tame enough to carry a human on its back or no.

See also Huitzilopotchli, Aztec god of the sun and war.

I can only image the terror of living near penguins!

Regarding the pizza image... Vinnie's Pizzeria in Brooklyn. Rotate through the images on the home page with the left/right nav buttons in the window, and you'll eventually get to a closeup pic of one of those "boxes". They cost $40, by the way. They also make pizzas with miniature pizzas on them. ("Yo, Dawg...")

No, I've never been. I just got curious after I saw the macro.
