Pantone, you know, the Color Authority?* They don't limit themselves to naming The Color of the Year. They also name colors for birth months. Mine, thankfully is

I have read The Wind in the Willows, but Chariotta Monte's (?) Jane Eyre has passed me by.
I've finished the aquatic section of Ashley Ward's book. I have learned that orcas and other toothed whales go through menopause. There's a specific type of chimps who may also. This is so flippin' interesting to me.
On flippers (you can tell I'm a blogging pro by the quality of that segueway), one of a humpback whale's pectoral fins weighs a ton. A TON.
Communication within and between whale pods is astounding. They, and a lot of --- if not all --- animals have very clear and distinct vocabularies and accents. As someone with an accent, this pleases me.

I, too, am a perpetual collector of random facts! Fun read.
I think it's hilarious that this year's Pantone color is Cloud Dancer which is....white. It's also my birth color. I happen to like white very much. Every wall in my house is a shade of white.
