    Question How come......

    1. Nobody ever finds a dead hummingbird?

    2. nobody knows how a dinosaur bone was recently found with fresh bone marrow in it?

    3. when you hit your funny bone that everyone laughs but you?

    4. men 'lose' their hearing waaayyyy before women do?

    5. bad things only seem to happen to good people, instead of the other way around?

    just wondering out loud today... (not expecting any answers, except to #1)

    I HAVE seen a dead hummingbird. It got trapped in the shop and eventually landed on a stacked pile of wood and died standing upright... and then my 18lb orange tabby saw it ... it turned into a pile of feathers on the floor.

    I had a hummingbird run into the side of the house and fall dead in my lap. Scared the carp out of me. I thought it was a big bee.

    found a dead hummer lting on the front porch last summer.

    I did know @2! saw it on the history or sci channel- whe cleaning the bone IIRC they inadvertantly rehyrdrated marrow - cant recall how much dna thet got, think the show said they were still working on it. but the whole thing was fascinating and has been replicated in other finds IIRC

    funny bone one- ya got me on that, never noticed other people laughing.

    if you listened to my husband, you would know men go deafer quicker because "you never use a hundred words when 5000 would do". maybe we wear their hearing out??? dunno, but alternative thought is that it wastes way from being used so little.... :)

    the other way around??? good things do happen to bad people. like getting elected.

    Has anyone EVER found a hummingbird's NEST? I look in all the trees after the leaves fall off and cannot find one and I KNOW they build them in the trees here.

    Yes and they are incredibly tiny. I think I read somewhere that they also have the fastest fledging of any bird in NA?

    Now my question when did the tree get a cemetary?
