21. I was afraid you'd say that
Although 47 of the 74 worldwide swallow species are found in Africa,1 only two species are named after the continent: the West African Swallow (Hirundo domicella) and the South African Swallow (Hirundo spilodera), also known as the South African Cave Swallow.

Kinematic data for both African species was difficult to find, but the Barn or European Swallow (Hirundo rustica) has been studied intensively, and kinematic data for that species was readily available.

Based upon weight ratios, the unladen European swallow averages 24 miles per hour. (Really).

14. Not too shabby, really.
No major complaints. All the important things are covered. Well, all but one, but that's not a big thing, I'm used to that.

I love too many people and dislike too many people to ever get married.

37. LOL!
I understand that. I'm not sure if I'm the marrying type, either, but I have to say that occasional companionship is nice, too. I just have trouble with having someone around all the time. I guess if I meet someone who makes me feel differently, I should probably marry her, huh? Hehehe

39. Could be!
I hear so many people always saying "I will be happy when I get married, when I get this job, when this happens, when that happens."

I don't like to put conditions on my happiness, or make it up to other people to make me happy. That is too much of a burden on them and me.

So, if I am not happy, it is my own fault, for the most part. I can't help it that Bush is an idiot...LOL.

41. I read "The Art of Happiness" by The Dalai Lama.
He basically makes the same point. Happiness needs to come from within. You'll never find happiness in things or other places.

I've been dealing with Bush since 1994...I've had two more chances to vote against his sorry butt.

48. LOL, I deal with his brother
Amazingly, his brother isn't half as bad as him. The thing that really miffs me about Jeb was his part in the 2000 debacle.
