Trivia

A tiger's back legs are longer than its front legs, which makes it a running, jumping, and pouncing machine. Tigers have over 100 stripes, which helps the tiger blend in with long grass. Like fingerprints, no two tigers have the same pattern.

I’m shocked that Alex Baldwin is saying he didn’t pull the trigger. If he didn’t, what happened? This date: 12-02-2021 is a palindrome and an ambigram. That means that it is the same when read right to left and left to right. It also means that on a hand-held calculator the it is the same up and upside down. Now you know.
