The monarch butterfly's survival strategy involves tasting yucky to discourage predators. What does the monarch caterpillar eat to acquire its bad flavor?

I don't know much about Monarch butterflies except they gather near Monterey, CA and then fly down to Mexico. Don't know about their diet.

Regarding milkweed, my spouse told me several years ago not to mow down milkweed because monarch butterflies like that particular plant.

Anyway, the new quiz question: in the original Star Wars movie (as released in theaters in 1977, not any of the subsequent releases) who shot first, Greebo or Hans?
No using the internet for 24 hours.

Well, it's 50/50 so I will guess Hans Solo.
I remember seeing the film in theaters in 1977.

That leaves Greebo so since I don't know and Salty chose the other choice then I will take this one. Is it Greebo?

Your turn, Salty


Hans shooting first gives the impression that Greebo shot back - I recall he immediately fell face first onto the table, then Han's get up - passes a wad of cash to the Bar Keep - saying - " Sorry about the mess" - or something to that effect.

If Greebo did not shoot at all, then he fired zeroth, which would come before first. So if he shot (un-shot?) before Hans, then actually Greebo shot first.

You can see why I never became a mathematician or a logician.

Tommy Lee Jones and a well known politician were roommates at Harvard. They even started a country music band together while in school.
Who was this politician?
