The remarkable Rainbow Finch is found in Australia yet there are only around two thousand of them left in the wild. Although conservation attempts are ongoing the question now seems to be whether or not this beautiful species will persevere for very much longer in its own original habitat.
There is something about the Rainbow Finch that makes it look like an animal made up, using Photoshop, for an April Fool joke. The colors seem too bright to be real and each garish hue ends abruptly to be replaced by one equally as preposterous for a wild animal. The main part of its body looks like some psychedelic Neapolitan ice cream.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who sometimes posts before reading the links.
I'm trying harder. I'm going to start posting after I read only the headline.
@Alex: that's right. Now imagine how violent was the one that happened in 1960, at 9.5. I also wonder how the planet was affected at that time.
This isn't actually what happens, though. The Earth goes through a lot more than just a slowing of rotation. The precession, obliquity, and tilt change much faster than that.
10.30 sunrise is all i'll remember in a few days time.
thanks for putting more shite into my brain, doofus.
