Which Is the Fastest Dog On Earth?

The fastest dog in the world is either the saluki or the greyhound, depending on whom you talk to.

The greyhound has been clocked at 41.7 miles per hour.

In 18th-century America, portraitists journeyed from town to town with an assortment of paintings of men and women, complete in every feature except the faces.

A person wishing to sit for his portrait simply had to select the body he liked best, and let the artist fill in the missing face and hair.

Protective Custody

A hornbill must find just the right size hole in a tree for a nest. The female slips inside and there lays her eggs.

The male seals off the entrance with mud, leaving only a narrow slit.

Inside, the female is both protected and imprisoned while incubating her eggs.

She gets food from her mate by sticking her bill out of the slit.

When the young are full grown, the seal is broken, and the young leave the home with their mother.

Shampoo, which to us means to wash your hair, comes from the Hindu word shampu, which means to press.

A good shampoo is one where you press your fingers hard against your scalp, so our word still indicates part of the original Hindu meaning.
