For anyone that cares
I was watching the puppy bowl and they had a appearance by a sloth with a trainer, and he stated that a sloth moves so slow, they gather moss and algae in their fur. I cried BS, but looked it up and it is actually true.

I’d heard the same thing, but never looked it up. I’m not sure how that affects my goal to be reincarnated as a sloth next time around. Maybe penguin is a better option.

I wonder what one has to have done in a previous life to be reincarnated as sloth algae?

It was rhetorical, that means you can use it as a trivia question. Shades, I have to ask, are you related to Data?

My mother was an English teacher, and she told me "Never use a preposition to end a sentence with."

That's the craziest story I ever heard of. What did you come back with? Did you ask her what she was about?
I was going to ask more but decided not to.

I see what you did there. . . that was
four prepositions you ended a sentence with!

A young Texan starting his first year at Harvard was in need of directions. He stopped a couple of upperclassmen and asked them “could y’all please tell me where the nearest T station is at?”
The uppclassmen rolled their eyes. One responded, “Young man, this is Harvard, and at Harvard one does not end a sentence with a preposition.
The freshman paused for a second. “Oh, I’m very sorry. Could y’all please tell me where the nearest T station is at, asshole?
