Trivia
1. How can you tell male from female box turtles? The males have red eyes.
2. How did Darwin's group amuse themselves with the tortoises? They noticed that the tortoises didn't seem to hear them coming as they climbed the mountain. But if the men passed the tortoises, the tortoises jumped and were startled as soon as they could see the men in their peripheral vision.
3. Who was born on exactly the same day and year as Charles Darwin? Abraham Lincoln.
4. Why did Mendel go to the monastery? His family was poor and didn't have enough money to send him to college AND pay for his room and board, so Mendel was on half-rations. One of his professors suggested he go to the monastery to live - could still study and could have enough food.
5. How have the large roundworms named Ascaris startled hospital recovery room staff? The roundworms react badly to anaesthetic and try to get out of the body any way they can when the body has been anaesthetized. Some of them have been known to make their way from the intestine up through the stomach and have come out the mouth and nose while the patient is in the recovery room after a surgery. Nasty.
Jokes:
1. Why did the mushroom get invited to so many parties? Because he was a fun-gi!
2. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
3. Have you noticed that when you see geese migrating in a vee-shaped formation that the vee is always longer on one side? Do you know why that is? More geese on that side!
4. ... I know a lot more, but I'm too tired to think of them.

2 Trivia:
Sea Cucumbers can pressurize their body and shoot out their guts (respiratory and digestive system) when threatened or trying to escape a predator. The idea is to give the predator something else to eat while the shell of a sea cucumber "worms" its way out. In a matter of weeks, the sea cucumber can grow its internal organs back.
All worker ants that you find are female and nearly all workers are sterile (cannot produce eggs). Male ants are just sperm carriers: they mate, then die shortly after. Typically, only the queen ant lays eggs.
