Prime Sugar Ray Leonard would have beaten prime Floyd Mayweather Jr. Floyd was more skilled, faster, better defense, but Ray would win because of the intangibles; grit, will, and having that dog in him.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) featured irradiated human mutants holding a Catholic mass in veneration of a hydrogen bomb. My dad told my mom he was taking me, age 7, to see 101 Dalmatians but instead took me to see this.

There are too many cats on Blue Sky. Here is a (supposedly) now extinct Pygmy Mammoth. They were about the size of a large Saint Bernard, and I really wish they were still around. No idea who the guy with the Mammoth is.

There are too many cats on Blue Sky. Here is a Grasshopper Mouse. They are predatory mice that hunt and eat scorpions (and I guess, also grasshoppers). They are known to stand over their vanquished prey and let out a victory howl. Its a bit squeaky, but a howl none the less. Best.Rodent.Eva

After the Sassanian Empire was destroyed, the remaining Sassanian royals were given refuge by the Tang Dynasty. They sat around talking about whose fault it was that everything fell apart. Their last king died alone in farmers hut, his last words "Dam this world, dam this time, dam this fate"
