Fountain of Youth, Hunting Albinos, and Sea Otters

My internet was down so I had to get my learnings the old fashioned way, talking to people. And I'm a day late, and a dollar short.

The Fountain of Youth is apparently in St. Augustine, Florida. For $8 you can drink where Ponce de Leon did, however he only lived for 8 more years after discovering the fountain. I still think we are all going to die, everyone except David Copperfield.

Tazmania has the largest population of albinos in Africa. This population is shrinking, unfortunately, because they are hunted for their body parts to be used by witch doctors. This is the worst thing I learned so far this week.

What I learned from eating chocolate: Sea otters sometimes use rocks to help them crack open shells. The only positive thing Arnold Schwarzenegger has ever done was requiring cat litter being sold in California to warn people not to flush pet poo down the toilet.
