well, the one super thing I learned was about the kiwi bird. it lays an egg that is I think 10x the size of a hen egg. So...that's like a woman giving birth to a 30lb baby. Which seems just silly to think about, but then they followed that up with the startling fact that there was a couple of years ago, a baby born who weighed 23lbs. Sweet Jebus, TWENTY THREE POUNDS. Let's pause for a moment and say a prayer for that poor, poor woman.
That's the only new thing I learned from that show. I also learned how they make toffee and that according to the food network "Top 5s" show, the #1 deep fried treat (over deep fried Mars bars and turkeys) is a corn dog. Gross.
