Amazing facts from nature
Mankind prides itself on developing great runners, jumpers, flyers, swimmers. But how do they stack up against nature's lowly creatures?
Speed? The deerfly has been clocked at a speed of 800 miles per hour! That makes 1100 feet a second and beyond the speed of sound! A supersonic plane just goes a mere 650 miles per hour!
A flock of wild geese raced the 20th century limited and… Won! The choo-choo crawled at a mere 85 miles per hour!
A small bird-- the european swift-- migrates a distance of 1500 miles to africa-- in seven hours! That's more than 200 miles per hour-- equal to the speed of the average plane!
Weight-lifting? An ordinary flea can lift 150 times it's own weight and pull 800 times its own weight! All sandow, the strong man, could do was lift a car out of a ditch!
Swimming? Salmon can swim against the current at thirty miles an hour, and leap fifteen feet into the air in hurdling a waterfall. Man's best swimming effort is about four miles an hour.
A penthouse on mars. Interplanetary space-pilot vince darrow gives kit-e, lovely martian maiden, a brutal brush-off!
No, vince -- don't walk out of my life! I'll kill myself, if you do!
Get out of my way, you martian tramp! You bore me!
Women… They're all alike… Whether on earth, or jupiter, or mars! Weak, snivelling little creatures… Tempting you with warm lips… Then… Once they believe you're theirs… They turn into demanding hags!
Kit-e!
"the little fool! She leaped to her death… Just as she threatened!"
