Mesdames et messieurs, je vous présente ci-dessous quelques informations trouvées dans Harper’s. Elles m’ont tant amusé, alors je me suis dit que ce ne serait que convenable que je les partage avec vous:
— Harry and Pepper, a gay penguin couple in San Francisco, broke up after six years when Harry left Pepper for a female penguin named Linda. “To be completely anthropomorphizing,” said a zookeeper, “Linda seems conniving.”
— Tasmanian wallabies were getting high on opium poppies and creating crop circles with their lopsided hopping.
— Sleeping on it may be a bad idea.
— The right ear is likelier to take requests.
— Percentage change in the profits of the top ten insurance companies : +428
— Estimated percentage change since 1785 in the average body size of a Western European : +50
— Number of fatal or disabling injuries suffered by female high school athletes since 1982 : 112… Percentage of the injured who were cheerleaders : 65
— The world’s supercolonies of Argentine ants were found to compose a single ant empire that stretches across six continents.
— The brains of white people register less empathy for the pain of Chinese people.
— Building castles in the sand may lead to diarrhea.
— Amphibians prefer to mate under a full moon.
