The wikipedia article Polydactyly in stem-tetrapods has some explanations on how we ended up with 5 fingers and toes.

The gist of it is that tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrate animals) evolved from a fish similar to a lobe-finned fish that had 5 sets of bones in each of its fins that evolved into fingers and toes. Some tetrapods have subsequently lost digits but the basal state was five.

There's a book, Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin that's full of this kind of stuff. Highly recommend.

Reminded me of the band Goblin Cock (NSFW).

It's just a name, like the Forbidden Month or the Month of No Return, all the months have names like that in the Season of Terror.

You Can't Stump the Trump (Volume 4).

It was all fun and games and centipedes and 420 sniper headshot dubstep memes. And then shit got real.

The bigger ducklings are almost 2 months old and the smaller ones are a couple weeks younger.

From the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency website

Hawaiʻi has the largest single integrated Outdoor Siren Warning System for Public Safety in the world. The all-hazard siren system can be used for a variety of both natural and human-caused events; including tsunamis, hurricanes, dam breaches, flooding, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, terrorist threats, hazardous material incidents, and more.

They test them here every month too. Shameful they didn't sound them when needed the most.

But they've really begun leaning pretty heavily into the "we make stoner food" shtick

The colors and setting remind of the video for Birdy Nam Nam - The Parachute Ending.
