Longtime Petaluma Teacher Bill King Recognized for Leading Students to Careers in Agriculture
JOKES & Humor # 5
The school of agriculture’s dean of admissions was interviewing a prospective student, “Why have you chosen this career?” he asked. “I dream of making a million dollars in farming, like my father,” the student replied.
“Your father made a million dollars in farming?” echoed the dean much impressed. “No,” replied the applicant. “But he always dreamed of it.”
Weird Facts & Fun Trivia -5 Great White Sharks Tales- Facts
Seal Island, in False Bay, South Africa, is just 400m long and 80 metres wide (1,312ft by 262ft) is home to 64,000 South African Fur Seals - the Great White Sharks favorite wintertime prey.
Contrary to popular belief, bibli- cal Jonah was swallowed by a Great White Shark (GWS), not a whale. It is thought that a shark may have been landed with a
man’s body inside, prompting the myth to arise.
Many Greek fi shermen call the GWS ‘Lamia’ - its name in Ancient Greece. Sicilians often still use the old Roman name of ‘Pescecane’ or ‘Dog Fish’ in Australia, it called ‘White Pointer’.
The biggest GWS on record was 6 metres (19 feet) long and was caught off Western Ledge, Al- bany, Australia. Shark pups can be more than 1.5 metres (4.9 feet) long at birth.
Great White Sharks can live for 30 to 40 years.
The World Cup
experience is more than just the game of soccer. It’s an event. And it will fl y by faster than you think. It will end and you’ll be saying, ‘Wow, it’s over already?’ You
have to remember to take it all in and enjoy it. Cobi Jones
