Hurricane Ian's 150-mile-per-hour winds took one billboard back nearly three decades, peeling off years of ads to reveal “The New” 1996 Dodge Caravan

Sunfish Weighing 6,000lbs Is the World's Heaviest Ever Bony Fish

Quote:
A behemoth sunfish found dead in the Azores has broken the record for the heaviest bony fish ever recorded.

According to a paper published in the Journal of Fish Biology, the enormous bump-head sunfish (Mola alexandrini), was discovered on December 9, 2021 in the waters off the Portuguese Azore islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, and measured 12 feet high, 11 feet long, and weighing 6,049 pounds. For comparison, that's about the same weight as a white rhino.

This smashes the record of the previous largest bony fish, which was that of another giant sunfish from Japan in 1996, which weighed around 5,070 pounds.
Also known as a Mola Mola, Females of the species can produce more eggs than any other known vertebrate, up to 300,000,000 at a time.

As a matter of fact I am! My recovery has been frustrating slow but I have made progress. I am now averaging between 85 and 90 for my O2 level. 93 or better is normal. Not as tired as I was doing anything. Back behind the wheel (Yipee) and joining my son grocery shopping. Only use the O2 machine once or twice a week. Hoping I can get rid of it at the end of this month.

Of course my appetite came roaring back but I am controling my food intake so at this time I have lost 15 pounds since I went into the hospital.

Thank you for your inquiry and of course for the kudos for the thread. Lots more to come.

That truck had a sticker of prize of $53,595

Clagett went out and aced the 10th hole. According to reports, it was a good, clean ace. It didn’t happen on a provisional. It didn’t happen out of turn. A letter-of-the-law "one." When Clagett went to claim his new ride after round, however, Morrilton Country Club wouldn’t turn over the keys.

I learned that these promotions are only done when dealerships buy insurance to cover the loss if someone wins.

This time, this dealership didn't get insurance!

Jay Hodge Ford says they were unable to secure the necessary insurance for the vehicle in time because they believed the vehicle was for display purposes only. Without their knowledge, Morrilton Country Club promoted the pickup as a hole-in-one prize, perhaps thinking no one would actually make a hole-in-one, a decision which has now backfired spectacularly.

What is it? Though there is an R/T emblem on the front grille - there is no such car as a 1970 340 Magnum Challenger R/T. Unlike the 'Cuda which did offer the 340 (you could sub out the standard 383 for it). Dodge made a special Challenger option: A66 which included the 340 and that's what this car is. Just need to remove the R/T emblem - no big deal.

Why put an option on such a valuable car that was never available? Those are real "recall wheels" BTW not repops.

You would think with all the speed enhancements, the Daytona would have been the car to beat on NASCAR tracks. But the facts say different. Only two wins during the 1969 racing season. Yes it did win the inaugural Talladega race and yes it's the first NASCAR racer to average 200 MPH but truth be known, it's accomplishments were sorely lacking.
