I'm reminded of a lot of women I've known over the years. Big women who could pick up a table in the pub and hold it over their heads without spilling a drop, and often did for a bet.

I remember Big Audrey, who leaned into it, who took up rugby and wiped the floor with everyone, who had four children with a man half her size who adored her. Who drank beer by the pint and many of them. Who always had a laugh and almost always had a healing broken nose, who taught little five year old Dunk - who barely came up to her hip - how to waltz.

I often remember Big Audrey when I argue online with narrow-minded idiots who try to tell me that a skeleton never lies, that you can always tell a male from a female because of the massive bones, the muscle attachment points, the sheer strength displayed.

Then I remember you can't argue with ignorance.

There's no real point to this anecdote. I just felt that Big Audrey should be remembered today. Four and a half decades after she taught me how to waltz on the empty dance floor of the social club between sets of bingo, whilst my granddad and his mate played noodly jazz on the tiny stage.

Here are some crazy grasshopper mouse facts for those who are not familiar with the most badass mouse species on the planet

- They are primarily carnivorous, and their diet is made up of not only bugs but also snakes, lizards and other mice.

- They hunt like true predators, slowly stalking and creeping up on their prey before ambushing them. They will sometimes let out a screech as they attack.

- Like wolves, they howl to establish territory and have a specially developed throat to produce louder vocalizations. They will stand up on their hind legs and throw their head back to howl- a sound that can be heard from 100 meters away!

- Grasshopper mouse behavior is linked to lunar cycles and they are more active during a full moon.

- These mice have been hunting bark scorpions and evolving alongside them for so long that they’ve evolved a mutation where scorpion venom that is lethal to other animals is converted into a painkiller in the grasshopper mouse’s body.
