There's been more stuff, but that's I guess the most curious.
Not sure if this is apocryphal, but still amusing.
Recently, I've been told a story involving a local military school. The students were regularly issued a set of uniform as the regulations demanded, but it was, in truth, unnecessary, as the uniforms did not wear out as quickly as they were replaced. Many (most?) of them, having neither a need for them, nor any innate sense of frugality, just dumped them around the campus. This in turn attracted the homeless and bums, for whom this was a textile equivalent of free buffet. End result, all the local bums walked around in full parade regalia.
you probablywe all imagine. I asked. Yeah, pity.Note: not accurate; the bald eagle is actually among the largest birds on the continent: https://northamericannature.com/10-largest-birds-of-north-america/
It also regularly eats salmon, which are not exactly little fish.
It is, however, like the seagull, regarded as a "trash chicken" by some people -- in the sense that it frequents the dumpsters behind fish processing facilities. An Alaskan once told me that he offended a Texan by saying this. And also by pointing out that Alaska is bigger than Texas. (I feel like I've told this story on IJBM before...?)
As for the Australian wedge tail eagle, I don't know it at all, but it's probably funnier that I leave it that way.

Why would you need to specify the current height of a "large concrete object"?
Yeah, but it's a good story. By the way, do you spend a lot of time in Alaska?

edit: I've found a photo, here it is:
Well, apparently it's more prevalent in the Keys, as opposed to the mainland?
I saw what may be an instance of this beside a parking lot a block or two from beach on the mainland.
But you know, you remind me of something that's quite on-topic when it comes to nasty plants. Namely, around here, we have this shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_sosnowskyi
Fucker looks completely innocuous, can grow pretty much everywhere, gives you third-degree chemical burns, and if that wasn't enough, the fact it's even here is because of fucking Stalin. Fortunately, "can grow everywhere" isn't the same as "grows everywhere", but still.
But I definitely haven't seen it very often in the places I usually go to.
Looks like I gotta write that post on the Golden Train.
