The "ursa" part of your post is the Latin for bear. So an Arctic Ursa would actually mean " bear bear".

Did you know that a Woodpecker can Peck 20 times in one second ?

What do you call a woodpecker without a beak?

A headbanger

Wow.

Have you any idea how much wood a Woodchuck could chuck, if indeed a Woodchuck could chuck wood?

Not as many as 20 a second, that's for sure.

Did you know that there's a 2 mile pipe under the City of Bruges ??
It transfers the beer from the Brewery to the Bottling factory !.
Gotta love the Belgians

Have you sampled the finer beers in life ?

Yes I’m quite fussy about what I drink. Lager does not register on the scale.

Yes, pretty sure somebody said that on here the other week. Speaking about pipes etc, the reason the pound/dollar currency exchange rate is called the "cable" is because there is a cable that runs the length of the Atlantic that used to be the quickest way of knowing the exchange rate. Doubt they use it anymore.

I believe that cable still does get used !
I watched a program a couple if years ago showing how they repair them

Can't imagine why it would be used for currency exchange though. Other things, possibly though

Yes they didn't mention currency exchange .
I never realised that there was cables runni g right across the Atlantic! Until I watched it.
And various other places in the world .
