Having a spread of 192 feet, this oak, a landmark on US Highway 98, was girdled with a chainsaw in October 1990 during an eminent domain dispute with Baldwin County (Alabama) officials. Grafting efforts to save the tree failed, and it died in 1993. Estimated by locals to be around 500 years old, it was discovered to be only 90 years old in a ring count.

 It was a pretty impressive tree. Not surprising that people would think it was older than it was.

(not a Wikipedia quote) Reminder to please plant your yards and gardens with species native to your region. Native plants will host native bugs, which feed native or migratory birds. Non-native species decrease biodiversity and should be considered ornamental - consider Doug Tallamy's analogy of treating non-native species like statues, it's ok to have a few for ornamental value, but you wouldn't want to crowd the place with them.

Wikipedia has also been criticised for its weak enforcement against perceived toxicities among the editing community at various times. In one case a longtime editor was nearly driven to suicide following an online abuse from editors and a ban from the site before being rescued from the suicide attempt.[194] In order to address this problem Wikipedia planned to institute a new rule of conduct aimed at combating 'toxic behavior'. The development of the new rule of conduct would take place in two phases. The first will include setting policies for in-person and virtual events as well as policies for technical spaces including chat rooms and other Wikimedia projects. A second phase outlining enforcement when the rules are broken is planned to be approved by the end of 2020, according to Wikimedia board's plan.[195][needs update]

Herman Cain, a former Republican candidate for President of the United States, quoted lines from the Donna Summer song multiple times throughout his campaign. He first used them in his official campaign announcement, mis-attributing them to the closing song of the 2000 Olympics. He made the same mistake at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans on June 17, 2011. During an August debate, Cain again quoted the lyrics, this time attributing them to a poet.[24] In a December interview with GQ, Cain acknowledged that the song came from a Pokémon film, but reiterated that he heard it during the close of the 2000 Olympics and stated that he had not previously known that it had originated in this film.[25] However, "The Power of One" was not played during the Olympics' closing ceremony.[26] During Cain's announcement that he would be suspending his presidential campaign, he again quoted these lyrics, acknowledging that they came from a Pokémon movie.[27]

The following picture needs a bit of background. There's a Flemish girl band called K3. They make music specifically for, I dunno, the 8 - 12 yo age range or something. The band changed members a lot over the years, like a Ship of Theseus situation. Every time someone wanted to leave they got new members through a televised talent show. Even though the members are never the same, one thing they always kept is the band consists of a blonde, brunette and ginger. I found this picture on Dutch wikipedia.  It shows who were the band members in each year. The bars are color coded by hair.

POSIX mandates 512-byte default block sizes for the df and du utilities, reflecting the typical size of blocks on disks. When Richard Stallman and the GNU team were implementing POSIX for the GNU operating system, they objected to this on the grounds that most people think in terms of 1024 byte (or 1 KiB) blocks. The environment variable POSIX_ME_HARDER was introduced to allow the user to force the standards-compliant behaviour.[15] The variable name was later changed to POSIXLY_CORRECT.[16] This variable is now also used for a number of other behaviour quirks.

In the mid-1920s, high-ranking members of the anti-Catholic Ku Klux Klan offered [the Mexican president] Calles $10,000,000 to help fight the Catholic Church. The offer came after the Knights of Columbus in the US secretly offered a group of Cristero rebels $1,000,000 in financial assistance to be used to purchase guns and ammunition – this was being done in secret after the extreme measures taken by Calles to destroy the Catholic Church. That was after Calles had also sent a private telegram to the Mexican Ambassador to France, Alberto J. Pani, to advise him that the Catholic Church in Mexico was a political movement and must be eliminated to proceed with a socialist government "free of religious hypnotism which fools the people... within one year without the sacraments, the people will forget the faith...." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristero_War?wprov=sfla1 America Inc. fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Jan 19, 2022 |

Its front page featured a picture, entitled hello.jpg, showing a naked man, hunched over, widely stretching his anus with both of his hands to approximately the width of a grapefruit[citation needed]. --- from the talk page: Citation needed? Okay, so I know somebody was guesstimating the size of the dudes anus, but are you sure we really need a citation to the description of the image? Would that just be the image itself or just a source of somebody describing the image in that way? 172.103.71.210 (talk) 12:57, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Spunky is different compared to most cartoon dogs, who are often more intelligent than their masters. Spunky is far less intelligent than even real dogs. He drools all the time with a vacant expression. One of his humorous actions is drooling into his water dish, mistaking it for more water, and drinking it again, and then repeating this over and over. He also sits limply on his butt, and drags it as he crawls around the house. He is always getting Rocko into crazy situations because of his stupidity. Once, he ended up getting eaten by a big dog (Earl) after carelessly getting thrown out as trash. He also wandered off and was snatched away by a bird at the beach, and once got vacuum packed at the supermarket. Spunky is always safe in the end, thanks to Rocko's utmost care. Rocko appears to have a loving special bond with Spunky. Even though Rocko treats him like a brother, he does what every pet owner does: he plays with Spunky, feeds him, bathes him, and walks him. Rocko never puts him on a leash during a walk. Spunky also sleeps with Rocko in the bed.
