Only two MLB pitchers have struck out the same number of people as their age in a single game- parent populations around the world have their own local dialects! Cleveland Indian Bob Feller at age 17 in 1936, and Chicago Cub Kerry Wood at age 20 in 1998! Beer wasn't considered an alcoholic drink in Russia until 2011!

Saw the Russian fact on another website yesterday. Until 2011 a drink with less than 10% alcohol was considered soda pop. Tough bunch those Ruskies. “Just put some beer in his bottle and that will let that baby sleep all night”.

Parrots like all animals have their own way of communicating, and it is not human speech. They mimic local sounds they hear.
