Do grass snakes only eat grass?
Grass Snakes feed on tadpoles, frogs and toads, as well as fish, newts, and occasionally mice and small birds. Most hunting is done underwater, and prey is typically swallowed alive.

Not a woman with male genitals. It's a cross-dresser.

And the preference part is subjective. It doesn't have to be gross!

Just like if somebody called you funny, you could take that as a good or bad thing, depending on your taste.

Plus, if that were my preference, I wouldn't appreciate you saying that stuff! >=O

What's in the ingredients of Humble Pie? ???


Originally, it was the internal organs of deer and hogs, scraps left over from butchering those animals, and some seasonings.  8-P It was originally intended for servants in Britain at least 300 years ago, and it was originally called umble pie, after the word "umbles", which is a synonym for the word "offal".  "Umbles" is no longer in use to the best of my knowledge, and umble pie was changed to humble pie thanks to certain British dialects that do not pronounce the letter "H" when it is the starting letter of a word.

Why is the sky blue?

Why is the sky blue?
The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.
