TIL Tuesday
They say a day is wasted unless you learn something. The Internet even has a TLA for that: TIL. Today, I Learned ____
Maybe I can't publish a TIL every day, but I can at least muster one a week!
It may not be that day's learning that I publish here every TIL Tuesday but I hope it will be enlightening... or amusing... or at least make you marvel for 10 seconds at how weird I am to have found *that* worthy of passing along. So, I will start now... and let you know this:

Today, I learned that owls have long legs - which made sense to me - and that those legs are fuzzy. Which actually kinda blew me away.
When I see pictures of owls, they always seem to be kind of hunched down over the length of their legs. And I guess the fuzziness contributes to how silently they can fly while hunting, which increases their success rate.
I guess I always thought of all birds' legs looking bare and scaly, like a chicken's.
