They're older than Florida. The Floridian peninsula is the solidified runoff of the Appalachians that got caught on some coral. It's why we're like this, I think. You don't stand a chance of being normal when you were created by the shed skin of an elder god draping itself over a hollow skeleton. You're always going to be a little Off.
There’s also a bit of this massive intercontinental mountain range on my home island, Cape Breton! The oldest rocks in the world are here, if I remember correctly. :)

There’s a theory that early Europeans started saying “brown one” or “honey-eater” instead of “bear” to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa “the faceless woman” because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber
English has an avoidance register used in the presence of certain respected animals, which sounds fancy until you realize it’s spelling out w-a-l-k and t-r-e-a-t in front of the dog.
Iceland does! They are the illhveli, literally “evil whales”, and they live to kill you. They love nothing more than killing and eating humans and sinking their ships. Their greatest enemy is the steypireydur (that’s blue whale to you), which is the greatest of the good whales and the protector of sailors.
All evil whales are, well, evil. So evil that if you speak their name at sea, they will hear it and home in on you. So instead you use all sorts of euphemisms for their names. Also if you try to cook their meat it literally disappears from the pot. That’s right, they’re so evil, you can’t even eat them.
They include such types as the hrosshvalur (horsewhale), with big eyes and a red mane and tail. This is probably the best known and most feared of the lot.
The raudkembingur (redcomb) is especially cruel and bloodthirsty even by illhveli standards. If you manage to escape it, it will die of frustration.
Good luck escaping the mushveli (mousewhale) though, it has legs! And will clamber onto the beach in pursuit!
Or what about death from above? The stökkull (jumper) leaps high into the air and pile-drives boats to pieces.
Meanwhile the skeljungur (shellwhale) sits in the path of boats and lets them get wrecked on its shelly hide…
… while the sverdhvalur (swordwhale) slices through boats with its dorsal fin.
The katthveli (catwhale) is relatively harmless though. It meows.
The same can’t be said of the lyngbakur (heatherback), a classic island fish that lets sailors get on its back and then dives, taking them to a watery grave.
The nauthveli (oxwhale) on the other hand specially targets cattle, attracting them into the sea with its bellow before tearing them apart.
How can you avoid all these murderous whales, like the taumafiskur (bridlefish) here? Any of a number of ways, including getting a steypireydur to help. There are substances, ranging from angelica to sheep dung and chopped fox testicles, that they find abhorrent. And you can distract them with loud noises and barrels.
For more, I assure you this link will answer all your questions.
Today's animal of the day is the Striped Panchax (Aplocheilus lineatus)!

This species of freshwater fish inhabits the brackish rivers, swamps, and paddy fields of India and Sri Lanka. Females grow to around 4 inches long while males usually only get to around 3 inches, though they can grow slightly larger in captivity if taken extremely well care of. Their diet consists of crustaceans, insects, and even smaller fish when the opportunity presents itself! These fish actually have a third eye on the top of their heads, called a parietal eye, which can only detect changes in light and isn't as well-developed as their other two eyes. However, this third eye helps them detect insects flying above them, which they leap up out of the water in order to catch.

While these fish are usually a dull yellowish-brown color with black or brown stripes, there is a bright yellow color variant called the golden wonder killifish. This color morph can only be found in captive settings, since their bright coloration makes it harder for them to hide from predators.
Had a dream last night where I was inactive for like a week and in that time, several achivement-unlocked blogs sprung up with various amounts of achievements: like achivement-achivement-unlocked, achivement-achivement-achivement-unlocked, achivement-achivement-achivement-achivement-unlocked and so on / so forth.
I was then tagged in a post fighting for my legacy as an achievement blog and had to choose one
