For anyone that cares
I was watching the puppy bowl and they had a appearance by a sloth with a trainer, and he stated that a sloth moves so slow, they gather moss and algae in their fur. I cried BS, but looked it up and it is actually true.

Re: Triva question
I’d heard the same thing, but never looked it up. I’m not sure how that affects my goal to be reincarnated as a sloth next time around. Maybe penguin is a better option.

Re: Triva question
I wonder what one has to have done in a previous life to be reincarnated as sloth algae?

Habitually ending sentences with a preposition?

So, . . . what is the question?

It was rhetorical, that means you can use it as a trivia question. Shades, I have to ask, are you related to Data?

My mother was an English teacher, and she told me "Never use a preposition to end a sentence with."

That's the craziest story I ever heard of. What did you come back with? Did you ask her what she was about?
I was going to ask more but decided not to.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I see what you did there. . . that was four prepositions you ended a sentence with!

Re: Triva question
A young Texan starting his first year at Harvard was in need of directions. He stopped a couple of upperclassmen and asked them “could y’all please tell me where the nearest T station is at?”
The uppclassmen rolled their eyes. One responded, “Young man, this is Harvard, and at Harvard one does not end a sentence with a preposition.
The freshman paused for a second. “Oh, I’m very sorry. Could y’all please tell me where the nearest T station is at, asshole?
