Today I Learned: 1) If you're going to put something unattached in a shaking incubator by running it with the shaking off, for goodness sakes, STICK AROUND TO MAKE SURE IT'S ACTUALLY OFF. 2) For some reason, I had it in my brain that sea mammals (whales, dolphins, porpuses, etc.), and their other close relatives like elephants and hippos, were fairly closely related to rodents/primates. Turns out they're not particularly closely related to us, as mammals go. 3) A short, incomplete list of animals known to spontaneously dance or otherwise move to rythmic sounds: Humans, parrots, elephants, sea lions, dolphins. Also, rumor has it that gorillas hum while they're eating?
