In a city known for being a touch cringe worthy at times the early insanity around the Crows was next level.

The 10th President of the United States, John Tyler (1790-1862) has a living grandson, Harrison Ruffer Tyler, who is 94 years old.

John Tyler was keen on reproduction, with 15 children of his own, the 13th of which - Lyon Gardiner Tyler was born in 1853 when Tyler was 63 years old with his 33 year old wife, Julia. John Tyler's last child was born in 1860 when the old geezer was 70 years old and his first child had been born 45 years prior (but sadly passed at 32).

Back to Lyon Gardiner Tyler. In 1921 after his first wife's death at which he was 61 years old, he married Sue Ruffin who was 35 years his junior and they had three children - Henry Tyler who died in infancy, Lyon Tyler Jr, who lived from 1925 to the recent 2020, and Harrison Tyler who is still kicking since 1928.

Belinda has a few low-key bangers, just quietly.

Come to think of it, definite banger herself

Not sure where to have this put but the 2020 men's fixture that never played out.

I purchased a copy of the 2020 AFL season guide early that year, which proved as much use as a ticket for Titanic's return trip to England departing New York at noon on Saturday 20th April 1912.

Cats have many different fur colors and patterns. Ginger cats, sometimes called marmalade cats, are relatively common but when was the last time you met a female ginger cat?

They are seldom seen as the genes to produce a ginger cat are carried on the X chromosome so for a queen to be ginger she must have two X chromosomes to carry this genetic trait, while a tom with an XY chromosome only needs one X chromosome with this feature to have a ginger coat. So while there are female ginger cats, they are much rarer.

Same with male Torties and Calicos.

That's really interesting. I was reading about male torties and calicos after your post, and they are very rare - only about 1 in 3000.

However if you did have a rare male torty or calico cat and were thinking that being so unusual he might earn you some money as a stud breeding male, you would be disappointed as these tomcats are almost always infertile.
