Like tomatoes, raw potatoes contain solanine, a compound that is toxic to some dogs. However, cooking a potato reduces the levels of solanine. If you do feed your dog a potato, it should be baked or boiled, with nothing added to it. What happens if a dog eats potatoes? Solanine […]
These machines include aircraft such as airplanes, gliders, helicopters, autogyros, airships, balloons, ornithopters as well as spacecraft. Gliders are capable of unpowered flight. Another form of mechanical flight is para-sailing, where a parachute-like object is pulled by a boat. What are 5 things that fly? Identified flying objects: Airplanes, jets, […]
Broken bats are either trashed, given away or, if in good enough shape, told at the Harrisburg Senators team store. As part of our weekly Harrisburg Senators notebook, which will run every Monday during baseball season on PennLive.com, we’ll answer questions from fans. Can you use a broken bat in […]
Babe Ruth game-used 1921 baseball bat sells for nearly $1 million. A bat used by baseball legend Babe Ruth in 1921 was sold at an auction on Friday (May 8) for $930,000 (£754,000/€856,000), making it the fifth-highest-selling bat of all time. How much is Babe Ruth’s baseball bat worth? A […]
If you say that something is at the end of the rainbow, you mean that people want it but it is almost impossible to obtain or achieve. The promise of a cure–the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow–often makes sensible people do irrational things. knead or need? […]
Please don’t leave your expensive bat inside the car! The last way that you can have a bat die on you is just old age. Like everything, baseball bats do not last forever. The older it gets, the more wear and tear that it takes. How long should a baseball […]
YOU could call it a batty idea, but bats seem to be more closely related to horses than cows are. Once thought to belong to the same group as primates, bats actually belong to the super-order Pegasoferae, which contains horses, cats and dogs, cows, whales and hedgehogs. Why do bats […]
Most Ant Species can Develop Wings and Fly (But Only When Breeding) Another common question is, do ants have wings? While almost all ant species can develop wings and fly, only reproductive ants will actually go through the transformation process (and only during breeding season). Why do ants fly off? […]
The ball’s classic construction with 32 panels means that the ball meets resistance at a later point in its trajectory through the air, thus retaining a steady, high speed over a longer period of time. This provides a stable and more predictable flight – highly valued by all soccer players. […]
Many things can fly, from animal aviators such as birds, bats and insects, to natural gliders/parachuters such as patagial animals, anemochorous seeds and ballistospores, to human inventions like aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, airships, balloons, etc.) and rockets which may propel spacecraft and spaceplanes. What are 5 things that can fly? Identified […]
Indeed grasshoppers and crickets have pretty strong wings that allow them to travel long distances in search of food and or mates. Besides long distance travel, grasshoppers can also fly pretty high for their size and weight, as this guy (or gal) on the top of the Bank of America […]
While birds, insects and bats are the only animals which can be said to be ‘true’ fliers, there are a number of animals that can glide or ‘appear’ to fly. Here are just a few: Devil ray – Related to the manta ray, this ray can jump several feet out […]
Soccer Balls Are Filled with Helium Apparently some people still believe this strange myth, but no, balls used in professional soccer matches are not filled with buoyant helium instead of oxygen. What happens if you put helium in a soccer ball? Filling it with helium would thus give rise to […]
It is not dangerous to eat sprouted potatoes, as long as you don’t eat the actual eyes. It is best to cut them off just under the skin, but you can also just pull them off with your hands. You shouldn’t eat the eyes because they contain high amounts of […]
Apterygota are a subclass of small, agile insects, distinguished from other insects by their lack of wings in the present and in their evolutionary history. They include Thysanura (silverfish and firebrats). Some species lacking wings are members of insect orders that generally do have wings. What is an example of […]
