    I’m sure many other jobs aren’t like this, but where I work we don’t have to give any reason at all to use our sick leave. Since one of the official definitions of “sick” in the Cambridge Dictionary is “very good, excellent,” you wouldn’t even be lying.









  • Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can’t fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn’t be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.

    T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn’t have bobbed its head.
