I was in 4th grade and I also remember our public school principal coming to our classroom and announcing that JFK had just been shot and asking us all to pray for him. We did.
Sorry, I’m usually against making comments about “comics physics”, but this just doesn’t seem like a great idea to me, and might in fact encourage a bad practice. Unless the city is coming to pick them up, won’t they clog up the storm drains, especially if everyone does that?
That reminds me, the finale of the “Big Cats 24/7” series is on PBS tomorrow night. They actually showed some of the cats with bulging stomachs after making a kill and cited this stat. Some, like the leopards and cheetahs, find it more necessary to gorge themselves because something else, like lions or hyenas, might come along and they then lose their kill. Kinda heartbreaking when it’s a single cheetah or leopard mom with young. But for the most part, it’s been grrrreeaaatt! to watch…no tigers, tho. Just leopards, lions and cheetahs.
The Tibble twins must be in that class, lol.
