Is a foot like a hat?

No. It’s not.
A foot is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates, and allows locomotion.
A hat, on the other hand (not that you’d be wearing it on your hand, or that your foot would be in the primary hand in order for a hand-to-hand comparison) is a head covering, and may be worn for protection [...]

As you can see above, Europe is a fair bit of fun, [...]

White marshmallows

If there’s 2 marshmallows left in a packet, 1 pink, 1 white, you will choose pink.

We know there’s now over 112,000,000 blog sites out there. That’s not a small amount. If it were a small amount, it’d be like 4. Or 7 maybe tops. 11 at a stretch. But it’s not. We’ve [...]

Crocodiles and edible names

Ever wanted to express your thoughts as a cartoon character, so as to avoid prosecution?

This comes after several recent discoveries have uncovered hats (still intact mind you) lying next to fossil remains.
A diverse range have been found, from Stetsons to bowlers to sombreros, and even Kippahs, begging another question: Were some dinosaurs Jewish? But I think we [...]
