      Diameter of Earth is 7,926.2 miles. So Texas at 770 is almost 1/10th. You were thinking of circumference of Earth, which is 24,901 miles
      Also, that was NOT a picture of Crater Lake 😂. I thought he was just showing a generic lake, but he showed it multiple times

      I had an electric guitar made of maple that when the tree was cut down in the early 1800s from virgin old growth forests in Michigan, it was estimated to be ~650 years old. (I counted over 65 rings per inch on the guitar) During the shipping process of the time, it sank to the bottom of Lake Michigan off the coast of Wisconsin. 200 years later it was pulled up, carefully dried and made into a guitar. (They still make instruments and furniture and art out of these logs to this day)
      It sat at the bottom of the lake long enough for it to become partially petrified. More accurately, the softer parts of the wood fibers were replaced with minerals from the water.
      It was a heavy guitar and very hard wood. It didn't dent or scratch at all. I assume you could damage it but it would take a heavy blow from a hammer or something and would most likely chip or outright break like a rock would.
      I found it at a pawn shop for way less than what it was worth. I sold it 2 years later for a good profit.

      😂😂😂Before the song came out in the 50’s (yes, I’m that old), I was told that the way the jaws are “hinged” is different. The alligator’s upper jaw is what opens his mouth, and the crocodile’s lower jaw is the movable part. However, never wanting to get close enough to check the fine points of the jaw, I’m happy to learn about the safer color difference that was mentioned in the video.🥵🥴

    The easiest way to tell an alligator from a crocodile is by simply looking at their mouths. The alligator's snout is more rounded than the crocks as he mentioned in this video. But a more striking difference is that an alligator observed with its mouth closed, usually basking on the bank, you can only see the upper teeth protruding from the top of its closed mouth. Whereas with a crocodile, both its top and bottom teeth are visible with its mouth closed.

    That colorful hot spring will boil you alive almost instantly. It's gorgeous, but it's best admired from a distance. Those colors at the outside are thermophilic (heat loving) bacteria. They can survive at outrageously high temperatures. But they have to stay at the relatively cooler outskirts of the pool, because the center is too hot even for them. That's why the center is such a perfect blue. There's nothing there but pure water.
    In fairness to the scientist, he didn't know it was the oldest tree on earth until he analyzed the core sample. And the reason he cut it down is because the non-lethal method of taking a core sample didn't work. It was a small, wind-stunted tree, and he assumed it wasn't very old. He didn't realize until it was too late that the reason he couldn't use the normal core sampling method was because the tree was very old with such densely packed rings of wood that the sampling tool couldn't get through it. It was a tragedy for everyone involved -- both the tree and the scientist.
    Good video.

    I can truly say I have been across BOTH London Bridges. One of the funniest things about London Bridge when it was purchase here in the US is the guy that bought it thought he was buying Tower Bridge. He was associating the children’s rhyme “London Bridge is falling down” with a drawbridge. When they started reassembling the bridge here in the states he actually called the Queen to ask about the bridge. His reason for the purchase was to create an attraction point for the founding of a new city/town on the Lake.

Bars with live music all along the waterline. It's like Spring break for slightly older people with boats and expensive toys. Just mind the heat.

    The Colorado River flows threw part of the Mojave desert. Within that area is a man made lake called Lake Havasu. A rich guy named McColloch bought the London Bridge in the 1960’s, took it apart, stone by stone, brick by brick , sailed it to Los Ángeles, California, then trucked it out to the lake. They then reassembled the bridge, one stone/brick at a time. Then they dug a channel below it turning the pennisula into an island. The bridge is still there, scraving marks from German war planes of WWII and all. I have seen London Bridge many times and have driven over it many times too

Alligators are much calmer than crocodiles and they do not tend to hunt as large of prey as crocodiles usually. A crocodile is quick to attack and willing to take down something larger than itself. Crocodiles have much worse attitude than alligators and alligators could be considered relatively calm compared to crocodiles.

    There is actually a Kansas City, Kansas. It's basically part of the metro area. KCMO has a lot of suburbs. The majority of people who work in KCMO don't live there. KS used to have no state taxes, but that went away in the last 20 years. The Chiefs and the Royals are on the Missouri side, but the European league soccer team and a minor league baseball team is on the KS side. It'd be confusing, but there's so much bbq no one cares. 😂

    I knew from my childhood that what we call the original London bridge was brought to the US. Someone had made an album titled "I'm London Bridge." My mother bought it and I listened to it over and over.
    What you have now is London bridge, but at its best design and build to date. Back when England was scruffy, new and under harsh dictatorship by King Æthelred (sure hope I got the correct spelling), London Bridge was mostly made of wood and had all sort of buildings and traders on both sides. King Red, as I call him, started the British tradition of chopping off people's heads and put them on posts on London bridge for all to see. The only two names I can remember of famous beheadings are William Wallace and Lizzy Bottom... maybe Borden, but through the British accent it sure sounded like Bottom. This was before the King left and his son became king to continue the beheadings. At that point in time all of the Vikings had either been killed or banished from Early England.
    The bridge was rebuilt a few more times either due to fire, war or flooding. Finally, the one we have here stood for quite a while. Yet, as you heard, due to neglect and other circumstances, England decided it was time for a new London Bridge.
