I think she's saying 'pay attention' because she is used to people drifting off mid-sentence

Nearly all tetrapods have a laryngeal nerve that goes from the brain stem to the larynx, but doesn't go straight for the few inches, instead travelling down the neck to go around the aortic arch above the heart. It's a throwback to when we were ocean dwelling and had gills much closer to the heart.

In giraffes this nerve takes a 15 ft detour.

In something like a brachiosaurus which had a neck around 30 ft long, this would be a 60ft detour.

A great proof of evolution, of making do with what is there and adapting.

I know how to stroke my cat. We've had 22 years together to practice.

Except it's nothing to do with that and comes from the Arctic being marked by Ursa Minor & Major in the Northern sky, and Antarctica being the opposite of that.

It's been taken down today. How anyone could've looked at it during production and thought 'that'll do' is beyond me.

No way. Who'd believe it? There's surely no precedent for this.

Simply, no. It's not 'fictitious shirts that go hard'. If it hasn't been made from materials, printed, stitched etc, it is slop that doesn't belong.

That's wild. If we go out for a meal (UK) we'll just leave whatever change we have on the table or hand it to the waitress that served us, maybe 5 to 10 quid. If they try to make it a part of the payment, they'll get nothing.

Is 'desperately' meant to be 'disparity'?

Imagine getting another man's name tattooed on you, and a politician not to mention felonious rapist and confused old bigot. What a complete cultist psycho.
