| Your EQ is 113 |
 You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. On an average day, you're quite happy, together, and content. You live your life well. Your emotions aren't always stable, but you can go along with the ups and downs pretty well. You tend to be motivated, energetic, focused, and level headed. You see the world pretty rationally, and you don't tend to over dramatize things. When things are bad, you know they eventually have to get better. |

Giraffes Can't Yawn
So claimed my trivia calendar the other day. That didn't make sense and didn't give a reason why, so I did a little research and found some trivia sites (here's one) that claimed that neither whales nor giraffes have ever been filmed yawning.
Well, I wasn't convinced; perhaps whales WERE yawning and it was thought they were just opening their huge mouths to suck in some krill. There's a video on YouTube of a young whale calf that sure looks like it's yawning. (about.39 seconds into the vid) OTOH, yawns are a mysterious thing; some scientists claim they are an involuntary action to take in oxygen to cool the brain and others say it's to exercise jaw muscles. (and it's pretty much a consensus that it has nothing to do with boredom) After an image search, I found this photo and others like it:
Now, that might be a yawn...or it might be the face made during a mating call. I went on looking and found these photos on the Sacramento Zoo Blog.
So, I believe I'll go with the folks at a zoo before I will a trivia calendar. (which has been wrong on some and "iffy" on other "facts" - if I have posted a trivia "fact" I've usually checked it, especially if it's one that gives me suspicion)

No Definitive Set Definition
At least not a single one. Of all the words in the English language, the word "set" has the most definitions - over 400.
