Chickens have a claw on their wing. o.O Look at the second picture. It's tiny and white, right on the alula. I knew that a few birds had pronounced claws, like the Hoatzin, but I thought that was a rare sort of dinosaur throwback when it's apparently common as all get out. Ducks have them Emus have a big one. Awesome claw talk.

There's a nice bike path next to a river about a half hour's walk from my apartment. It totally shouldn't have taken me four months to discover this, but anyway--now I've got no reason not to buy a bike and get back in shape.

I realized that different types of milk are color-coded on their packages. 2% is dark blue, 1% is green, nonfat is light blue, and whole milk is red. Skim milk appears to be pink.

Yesterday, I learned how to safely operate a chainsaw, in preparation for today's yard work.
Behold, tree! Your days are numbered! Ah ha ha ha ha!

There is a fetish involving planets and stars. O.O I suppose it's a fairly i innocent one, but I never knew it existed. xD

The word 'loco' (crazy) is related to the Latin word for owl.

I learned that diamonds are made from coal. I think that's amazing. A mundane piece of coal that you pick up could eventually turn into a diamond millions of years later.

It's spelled "staph" infection, not "staff" infection.
Also, if a bug bite gets big fast, you'll probably want to get it looked at, especially if it's hot and hurts quite a bit.
EDIT: Related to what I said above, whether you just barely got a bite or it has grown big over the past couple days, it may be in your interest to wash the bite itself until it's clear (gently, but firmly, with gentle antibacterial soap and warm water), squeeze around it (gently, of course), and maybe try sucking at it with a straw. It can prevent an infection from starting, or remove an existing irritant. *leg feels so much better*
