One rational explanation is that they are native marsupials not yet officially discovered or classified; however, the only evolutionary ancestors come from South, not North, America.

An odd device patented in Britain in 1904 by a Prussian count, Vladimir Skorzewski, was a compressed air walking assister. It consisted of a seat and handlebars, shock absorbers, and leg extensions and soles attached to stirrups. The count’s notion was that the shock absorbers at the contraption’s joints would function much like a series of miniature pogo sticks. The user could bound along the street and still enjoy the comforts of sitting down while “walking”.

The mathematicians of ancient Greece attributed characters to numbers and awarded some of the status of perfection. For Euclid, one of the finding fathers of modern mathematics, a perfect number was one that equaled the sum of its own divisors – that is numbers that will divide into it without leaving a remainder. The first perfect number is 6: its divisors are 1, 2, and 3, 14 which add up to 6. The second is 28 (1 + two + four + seven + 14). The Greeks knew only two other perfect: 496 and 8,128.

The Sun has 11 –year cycles of sunspot activity due to changes in its magnetic field. The increased surface activity means that more changed solar particles reach Earth’s atmosphere, causing radio interference and aurora. Nuclear reactions in the Sun’s core send waves of energy flowing to the surface, where it is given off as light, heat and other radiation.The Sun’s diameter is 1,392,000 km (865,000 miles). More than one million Earths would fit inside the Sun.
