Did you know?

Swans can sleep on either land or the water. They have the option of sleeping while standing on one leg or while floating in the water. When a swan has laid a set of eggs (which can take two to three weeks), she can sit on them for six weeks or longer until they hatch. Swans will hatch up to 10 eggs at one time.

Quote of the day:

Those who awaken never rest in one place. Like swans, they rise and leave the lake. On the air they rise and fly an invisible course. Their food is knowledge. They live on emptiness. They have seen how to break free. Who can follow them?

Joke of the day:

Saw some young swans that kept dancing when a particular song started. Apparently it was their cygnet-ure tune.
