Author Notes ~NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT~

Money Tree Plant Care

Botanical Name: Pachira aquatica

Money tree plant care is easy. Just put it where it'll get some indirect sunlight. Water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry out a bit between waterings. Cut back on water in the winter when growth slows. Use a container with drainage holes and take care not to overwater your plant because it can get root rot.

Haiku (Clever Witty Fox)

By Gypsy Blue Rose

Clever Witty Fox

With Amusement and Pleasure

Outsmarts the Dumb Dog

Author Notes If you have never heard the song, 'what does the fox say?' check it out below, it is so funny! I like to thank Dean Kuch for teaching me how to add a YouTube video.

Recent evidence has dismissed the belief that animals are simply reflex machines, acting without thought or real consciousness. In response, there has been a rush to examine animal intelligence. Yet what, precisely, is intelligence? Is it the ability to learn, the ability to remember, or the ability to survive? What delineates instinct from intelligence? Why are dolphins smarter than eagles and bees smarter than worms? Are cats smarter than dogs?
