There have been public schools on the site where Shishi High School in Chengdu, China, now stands- for more than 2100 years! A drop of less than a foot can potentially crack and rupture the fragile exoskeleton of a tarantula! Caribbean reef squid hide from predators by squirting out clouds of ink and then disguising themselves to look like the billions of ink that they just created!

No way does 石室 mean “thank you”! I had to use Google translate to get the meaning of the second character, but the translation they give is “stone chamber” or “sarcophagus.”

Shishi may refer to: Chinese guardian lion. English translation, to implement / to carry out.
