Middle Island is so close to the mainland that foxes can cross over at low tide. The penguin colony crashed from about 600 birds in 1999 to fewer than 10 by 2005; one research paper says only 4 birds were recorded arriving to breed that year. After the Maremma guardian dogs started work in 2006, the island had no recorded fox attacks while the dogs were there, and the colony reached an estimated 180 penguins in the 2016–2017 breeding season. In 2017, some penguins arrived before the dogs returned, foxes attacked again, and the attacks stopped once Eudy and Tula, the guardian dogs, came back.

The U.S. Navy really does manage a huge forest in Indiana to help repair USS Constitution, the famous wooden warship launched in 1797. At Naval Support Activity Crane, foresters manage more than 50,000 acres of forest and pick strong mature white oak trees for future restorations. These trees help replace old wooden parts on the ship, especially hull planks. Basically, America has a forest growing spare parts for a 200-year-old warship.

At the University of Queensland in Australia, scientists have been watching a tar-like material called pitch slowly drip since 1930. Pitch looks solid and can even crack if hit, but it is actually a super-thick fluid that flows extremely slowly. The experiment was set up in 1927, the funnel was opened in 1930, and only nine drops have fallen so far. The last drop fell in April 2014. Slowest drip ever, no competition.

In 1992, a cargo ship lost 28,800 plastic bath toys in the Pacific Ocean. The floating ducks, turtles, beavers, and frogs drifted across ocean currents and later washed up in places like Hawaii, Alaska, and even Scotland. Oceanographers tracked where the toys traveled, and the accidental spill helped them better understand how ocean currents move across the world.

John Denver was born in New Mexico, not West Virginia, and the song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” has a funny twist. When it was released in 1971, Denver and his two co-writers, Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, had reportedly not really been to West Virginia. Danoff said he picked words like “Blue Ridge Mountains” and “Shenandoah River” because they sounded beautiful in a song. So one of West Virginia’s most loved songs was written mostly from imagination, wordplay, and vibes.
