TIDBITS® TAKES A FIELD TRIP

TO THE ZOO by Kathy Wolfe

002098 - Rev. 4/06

Put a smile on your ghosts and goblins for Halloween!

It’s a good day for a field trip and Tidbits is off to the zoo! If you’re interested in animal menageries, you’ve come to the right place! • Archaeological excavations have revealed the oldest known zoological collection in Hierakonpolis, Egypt, believed to have been created by Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut around 1500 B.C. The emperor of China Wen Wan established a 1,500-acre zoological garden about 1000 B.C., dubbing it the Garden of Intelligence. • The oldest continuously-operating zoo in the world is Vienna, Austria’s Schonbrunn Zoo, established in 1752, and still receiving more than two million visitors annually. It also holds the honor of being the first place to host the birth of an African elephant in captivity. • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was the site of America’s first attempt to establish a zoo, creating a charter in 1859. However, construction did not begin immediately due to the advent of the Civil War. In the meantime, New York City opened Central Park Zoo in 1864 and grabbed the honor of the first public zoo in the U.S. turn the page for more!

Halloween costumes should allow full movement for your kids. Costumes that drag, constrict or drape pose a dangerous hazard, especially at night. Check to ensure that costumes don’t restrict your children’s vision, and instruct them to watch out for tripping hazards, such as cords.

• You think your blood pressure is high? Consider that of the giraffe, whose pressure is two to three times higher than that of a healthy human. That’s because of that long neck! The heart of a giraffe measures 2 feet long and weighs 25 lbs. enabling it to pump blood with enormous force up the neck to the brain. The average giraffe stands about 19 feet tall, 6 feet of which are its legs. At birth it was already 6 feet tall, and had endured a 6-foot drop to the ground head first! The baby calf is up and walking around only one hour after birth. An adult giraffe can weigh up to 3,000 lbs. and lives about 20 years.

• Although the word “hippopotamus” translates from the Greek for “river horse,” this herbivorous mammal is more closely related to the pig. It ranks third in size in land animals, right behind the elephant and rhinoceros. Baby hippos are born underwater and weigh about 100 lbs. at birth. By adulthood, one might weigh as much as 5,800 lbs. Hippos eat about 88 lbs. of food daily. At one time, hippos’ ivory canines, which reach 20 inches in length, were used by dentists for artificial teeth because they don’t turn yellow. In a zoo environment, a hippo will live about 50 years. •Even with its enormous bulk, the rhinoceros can trot along at 40 mph. The word “rhinoceros” translates from the Greek language, rhino meaning “nose” and ceros meaning “horn.” A baby rhino enters the world weighing about 140 lbs. and can grow to about 7,000 lbs.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE The Sting of Sunburn Life experiences can give us sunburns of many different degrees. The 3rd degree burns usually accumulate over longer exposure to the damaging rays that we allow ourselves to sit under. So this is how it is perceived. If I have no sunburn and someone pats me on the shoulders I am cool with it. If I have sunburn and the same person touches me on the shoulders I am hot with it. The person touching me is the same but my reaction is different based on my skin condition. Anger and other emotions are a skin condition of being burnt. The most difficult understanding of our nature is that we want to blame the person or event that touched my burn. The reality is my pain is not from the person or event. It is from my sunburn.

• The sleek cheetah, the world’s fastest mammal, can reach a speed of 45 mph in two seconds from a standstill. It then accelerates to its top speed of nearly 65 mph. Yet just 300 yards farther on, exhaustion sets in, and the animal must slow down. Half of the cheetah’s running time is spent off the ground, and it can even make a turn in mid-air! • An African elephant weighs upwards of 6 tons, stands 12 feet tall at the shoulder, and has a trunk about 7 feet long. It consumes about 300 lbs. of food in a day, and sucks up about 2 gallons of water into its trunk each time it takes a drink. The elephant is second behind human beings in longevity, with many elephants living well past age 70. • A gorilla may look gargantuan, but in truth the average male gorilla stands only about 5”7” tall. He is a hefty fellow, however, weighing in at 330 lbs. The female is much smaller, averaging 176 lbs. The lifespan of these very peaceful, family-oriented creatures in the wild is about 35 years, but they will live to about age 50 in a zoo. • An adult male lion eats about 15 lbs. of meat at a meal, although some might consume as much as 60 lbs. at one sitting! The full-grown adult male will weigh somewhere between 330 and 550 lbs. and can run at top speed of 36 mph, although not for very long. In the wilds, the King of the Jungle isn’t the great hunter you might think he is – he actually leaves more than 90% of the hunting to his female companion. Lions are the only big cats in which the appearance of males and females is distinctly different. The roar of a male can be heard as far as 5 miles away.

A father and his small son were standing in front of the tigers cage at the zoo. Father was explaining how ferocious and strong tigers are and junior was taking it all in with a serious expression. "Dad," the boy said finally, "if the tiger got out of his cage and ate you up ..." "Yes, son?" the father said expectantly. The boy finished"What bus should I take home?" .

• Bear with us! An American black bear will reach about 660 lbs. at maturity, and a grizzly bear tops out at 860 lbs. but it’s the polar bear that takes the prize, a whopping 1,760 lbs ! It’s the only bear that will actually prey on humans. Humans aren’t their first choice, however. In their natural habitat, they prefer seal pups, and can smell a seal on the ice 20 miles away. The bears frequently eat only the seal’s fat just below the skin, ignoring the rest of the carcass, making for an extremely fatty diet. Yet it doesn’t seem to slow them down! A polar bear can sprint along at a speed of 25 mph for short distances, as well as jump a 6-ft.-high pile of snow. • The koala bear isn’t a bear at all, but is actually a member of the marsupial family, joining the kangaroo, wallaby, and opossum. The koala’s diet consists of nothing but eucalyptus leaves, about a pound and a half per day. In fact, the koala would be extinct without the eucalyptus. Sounds like a pretty boring feed, but consider that there are about 600 kinds of eucalyptus trees and to the koala, each one tastes different. If you think your teenager is lazy, consider that the koala sleeps an average of 22 hours per day! There have been koalas at the famous San Diego Zoo since 1925 when the children of Sydney, Australia gifted the zoo with Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was inventor Thomas Edison who made the following sage observation: “We don’t know a millionth of 1 percent about anything.” ● Those who study such things say that chewing gum will reduce your recall ability by 10 percent. ● An ostrich can run just as fast as a racehorse. ● In 1972, an extraordinary birth occurred. On July 22 of that year, a woman in Rome gave birth a whopping 15 babies -- five boys and 10 girls. The siblings were quindecaplets, though, obviously, that term doesn’t see much use.

● You probably know that J. Edgar Hoover was the first director of the FBI, helping to found the bureau in 1935 and serving until his death in 1972. You might not realize, though, that in his career he never made an arrest or even personally conducted an investigation. ● It’s been reported that the last words of famed composer Ludwig van Beethoven were “Friends, applaud; the comedy is over.” ● The next time you’re visiting Washington, D.C., keep in mind that in our nation’s capital, it is illegal to throw a bull in any way. (And boy, what a town for bull). ● A queen honeybee can live for up to seven years. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Are You Depressed? Depression in seniors is a lot more common than we let on. We point to aging as a reason for how we feel, but that’s not necessarily the case. There are any number of reasons why we might feel depressed: if we’ve recently lost someone in our life, if our health isn’t what it used to be, if we’re taking multiple prescriptions, if we’re alone or if we’ve retired and no longer feel vital. Depression can impact all areas of our lives: our appetite, interest in activities, how we sleep and so much more. The key is to recognize the symptoms and get treated, because depression is treatable. If you can point to at least one item on the following list as being true, it’s time to talk to your doctor. --Having trouble sleeping or sleeping too much. --Losing interest in activities or hobbies you used to enjoy. --Feeling isolated, or excluding yourself from activities with friends. --Thinking about death. --Skipping your medications, meals or baths. --Feeling anxious, hopeless, guilty or irritable. --Experiencing new aches and pains, or a worsening of existing ones. --Having trouble concentrating. Your doctor might ask a lot of questions and make a number of suggestions. He might recommend (as a place to start) that you get enough sleep or volunteer at a charity agency, make regular visits to friends or visit a nutritionist to make sure you’re getting enough nutrients in your diet. The key might be as simple as scheduling regular exercise and taking your medications on time all the time. If you don’t feel like your normal self, there’s help for you. Please go to your doctor and ask for it. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

There was this truck driver who had to deliver 100 penguins to the state zoo. As he was driving his truck through the desert, his truck breaks down. After about 3 hours, he waves another truck down and offers the driver $500 to take these penguins to the state zoo for him. The next day the original truck driver arrives in town and sees the new truck driver crossing the road with 100 penguins walking in single file behind him. The original truck driver jumps out of his truck and asks, "What's going on? I gave you $500 to take these penguins to the zoo!" The new truck driver responds, "I did take them to the zoo. And I had enough money left over so now were going to see a movie."

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

● On Oct. 27, 1659, William Robinson and Marmaduke Stevenson, two Quakers who came from England in 1656 to escape religious persecution, are executed in the Massachusetts Bay Colony for their religious beliefs. The Massachusetts General Court had banned Quakers from the colony under penalty of death. ● On Oct. 26, 1825, the Erie Canal opens, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean via the Hudson River. Teams of oxen plowed the ground, but for the most part the work was done by Irish diggers who had to rely on primitive tools. ● On Oct. 24, 1861, workers of the Western Union Telegraph Company link the eastern and western telegraph networks of the nation at Salt Lake City, Utah, completing a transcontinental line that for the first time allows instantaneous communication between Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. ● On Oct. 28, 1919, Congress passes the Volstead Act, providing for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, which banned the “manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes.” Despite a vigorous effort by law-enforcement, the Volstead Act failed to prevent the large-scale distribution of alcoholic beverages. ● On Oct. 25, 1929, during the Teapot Dome scandal, Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior, is found guilty of accepting a bribe while in office. Fall was the first individual to be convicted of a crime committed while a presidential cabinet member. The Teapot Dome was a naval oil reserve in Wyoming. (He was the fall guy) ● On Oct. 23, 1942, Michael Crichton is born in Chicago. During his final year of medical school, the 6-foot, 9-inch Crichton published “The Andromeda Strain” (1969) and decided to write full time instead of practicing medicine. ● On Oct. 22, 1975, Air Force Sgt. Leonard Matlovich, a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, is given a “general” discharge by the Air Force after publicly declaring his homosexuality. His tombstone reads, “A gay Vietnam Veteran. When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.” (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL

The west end of Washington D.C.’s National Mall is home to the majestic Lincoln Memorial, a monument dedicated to America’s 16th president. Here are the facts and figures about this symbol of freedom honoring the “Great Emancipator.” • The building site of the memorial wasn’t even in existence at the time of Lincoln’s death. The Washington Monument stood at the edge of the Potomac River. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deepened the river in the late 1800s, and all the silt was deposited along the banks, creating a new land formation. Although the Lincoln Memorial Association was established two years after Lincoln’s death, the monument site wasn’t selected until 1901. In 1911, President Taft signed a bill allotting $2 million for the construction, which began in 1914. • The style of the building, designed by Henry Bacon, is that of an ancient Greek temple, 100 feet high, surrounded by an open portico, constructed from Colorado marble. Thirtysix fluted columns border the open court, symbolic of the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s assassination in April of 1865, just six days after the end of the Civil War. In the area above the columns are 48 stone garlands and the names of the 48 states in the Union when the Memorial was completed and dedicated in 1922. • To the north and south of the central hall are chambers whose walls are inscribed with the words of Lincoln’s most famous speeches, his second inaugural address and the Gettysburg Address. • Above these inscriptions are 60 x 12-foot murals, painted with special mixtures of paint, kerosene, and wax, formulated to protect the scenes from the elements. The paintings feature principles followed by Lincoln throughout his life, including freedom, liberty, justice, unity, fraternity, charity, and the law. • In the central hall sits Lincoln, immortalized in marble, 19 feet tall and weighing 175 tons. The original plans called for a 10-ft-tall Lincoln, but it was enlarged so that the statue would not be dwarfed by the huge chamber. It took four years to complete the sculpture out of Georgia white marble. Six Italian men, the Piccirilli Brothers, carved the statue in the South Bronx under the supervision of the sculptor Daniel French, and it was shipped to Washington in 28 separate pieces. (The Piccirillis were also responsible for creating the two enormous sculpted lions in front of the New York City Public Library.) If the giant Lincoln were able to stand up, he would be 28 feet tall. Above Lincoln’s likeness is an inscribed epitaph, “In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever.” • Adding to the height of Lincoln’s statue is an oblong pedestal of Tennessee marble, and another marble platform beneath the pedestal, which increase the height by another 10.5 feet. • When the monument was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1922, by President Warren Harding, Lincoln’s only remaining son, Robert Todd Lincoln, age 79, was in attendance. Ranked seventh on the “List of America’s Favorite Architecture,” the Lincoln Memorial receives about 6 million visitors annually.

NO-NO’S

We all know that a no-no is something we shouldn’t do – it may even be forbidden! But there are plenty of other words that are “no-“ words that bear looking in to. Here are some unusual terms, all beginning with those same two letters. • About 3.6% of American adults have engaged in noctambulism in the past year. Simply put, they have sleepwalked! This condition is more prevalent in children, aged 6 to 12, and more often with boys. Although the exact cause is not known, it can be heightened by stress, fatigue, and sleep deprivation. Certain medications can also contribute to its frequency. • Before a bullfighter is a matador, he is a novillero, an apprentice bullfighter who fights bulls that are only three years old and under. It might seem that the word takes it origin from “novice,” but the Spanish word for “young bull” is novillo. • Those who are notaphilists have the interesting hobby of collecting banknotes and paper currency, not to be confused with numismatists, who collect coins. Notaphilists narrow down the type of banknotes they’d like to collect, for example, favorite geographical locations, time periods, or security features of the design.

Come on, Fred, Ill take you to the zoo. If the zoo wants me, let them come and get me!

• Dentists have been using Novocaine as a local anesthetic since 1905. Procaine hydrochloride is its chemical name, while Novacaine is the trademark name. You can expect its effects to kick in within two to five minutes, with an average duration of one to one-and-a-half hours. It’s the oldest man-made anesthetic. Prior to its invention, dentists actually used cocaine as anesthetic! When cocaine’s addictive nature was discovered, scientists went to work on an alternative. • If you’ve just been called a noddy, consider yourself insulted. This is a term used for a fool or a simpleton. • Two different meanings for the same word couldn’t be farther apart. A noisette is a variety of rose, a beautiful climbing variety with apricot-yellow blossoms that grows to a height of 12 feet. But it’s also a small piece of veal, lamb, mutton, or beef tenderloin that usually sautéed in lemon juice and assorted seasonings.

• Those things having to do with a hospital are referred to as nosocomial. For example, a nosocomial infection is one that a patient picks up during a hospital stay, such as a fungal or bacterial infection. It’s estimated that about 1.7 million of hospital-associated infections are acquired each year, contributing to nearly 100,000 deaths annually. • How much is a novemdecillion? It’s the numeral one, followed up with 60 zeroes. • If you get bonked in the noggin, you’ve received a blow to the head. But a noggin is also a term used for a small drink, a quarterpint, particularly of an alcoholic liquor. Similarly, the Australians refer to a glass of hard liquor as a nobbler. Don’t confuse with nobbler with nobby, which is slang for fashionable and elegant. • Blind people have been greatly aided by the 1806 invention of the noctograph. This is a writing apparatus consisting of a frame and horizontal wires that helps the blind write without running lines together. A metal grid is placed over chemically-treated paper soaked with printers’ ink, and a metal stylus is used to transfer writing onto a plain piece of paper placed underneath.

A: Raking leaves can be a tedious task, and gets exhausting when dealing with a large yard with lots of trees. During the fall season, a homeowner could wind up raking the yard at least once a week. Unfortunately, leaving those leaves to pile up will wreak havoc on your lawn. First, the coating of leaves prevents air and sun from reaching grass directly, but lets rainwater trickle down, creating a harsh environment for grass. Second, leaves are filled with alkaline compounds that can damage the grass. These factors make leaves a great mulch ingredient, because you typically put mulch where you don’t want grass or weeds to grow. You don’t want a heavy coating of leaf mulch on your lawn, though. So, you’ve got to clean up those fallen leaves eventually. Here’s a few ideas to make the task somewhat easier. ● Pick up the first light coating of leaves while mowing the lawn, with the bag attached. ● Borrow or rent a leaf blower to tackle larger areas with a moderate to heavy coating of leaves. Carefully blow the leaves into rough piles around the lawn. ● Use your rake to finish a large leaf cleanup job: pile the leaves closer together, or use the rake to shift leaves into a bag or wheelbarrow for disposal elsewhere. ● Add leaves to your compost pile. Fall is a favorite time for homeowners who keep compost piles because leaves add bulk to their compost and can help balance nutrients and acidity or alkalinity if used in the right amounts. HOME TIP: Watch out for that noisy leaf blower. Be aware of any local noise ordinances before using a leaf blower and try to avoid using it before 10 a.m. most days. Your neighbors will thank you.

A Puppet of Your Own You don’t have to be a great artist to make a great puppet. All you need is a sock, a few art supplies and some imagination. Any sock you can slide your hand into and move it around will work for a puppet. If you plan to draw a face on your sock puppet, you might want to get a white sock. Slide the sock onto your hand, close your hand and mark where you think the eyes, nose and mouth should go. Then sketch or glue them on if using felt. Once your puppet has a face, you can give it a name and start practicing with it. You’ll want to try different voices and hand positions to bring your puppet to life.
