Dog swallowing a fork isn't awfully exciting, looks like a plastic fork too. There is an impressive x-ray of a snake that ate 4 golf balls.

And speaking of eating forks, I've seen some x-rays of people with pica, who have eaten the whole damn cutlery set.

"Interesting Fact: Bananas don’t grow on trees – the plant that produces the banana is actually a herb."

Really depends how you define a herb. Herbs are usually regarded as non-woody plants. Bananas grow on banana palms. Palms are monocotyledons, like grass, they grow from the base, and most palms are certainly woody. Their interior structure is different to dicotelydons, which grow from the tips.

The whole "bananas are a herb" statement is kinda meaningless. It's like arguing over whether tomatoes are a fruit or vegetable. Chefs will be adamant that it's a vegetable but a botanist will insist it is a fruit.

And you forgot the Emu-wren! The bird that weighs less than the amount of fat in a Big Mac.

Adult antlions are more commonly known as Lacewings.

What do you mean when you keep saying this animal "is not a plague"?

Cave diving is more exploration than sport. You would never, ever get me down there. I don't even like cramped caves, claustrophobia combined with the fear of collapse.

But I am forever grateful that there are people brave (and crazy) enough to cave dive (and explore cramped dry caves) and film it so wusses like me can watch it. Amazing stuff!

Just think about it, those formations took millions of years to form, and they had to have formed while the cave was dry. Then at some stage there was time for these caves to fill with water again! It's mindblowing.
