    Consider me dubious that the laws in 1800s were more stringent than the current Los Angeles laws.

    But bartender schools have been a scam for centuries so wtf knows.

    Does a woodpecker's tongue protect its brain?

    Yes. Having its tongue wrapped around the back of its brain doesn't just give a woodpecker somewhere to store a long appendage; it also helps protect the bird's brain from injury during high-speed pecking.

    When the muscles that surround the woodpecker hyoid bone contract, they don't just cause the woodpecker to stick out its tongue. That tensing-up action also helps hold the skull and spine snugly in place as the bird's beak collides with a tree, just like a seat belt keeps you from flying forward if someone slams on the brakes.

    My initial guess of how much they cost before googling it was off by like 70% - so I became less surprised at the shortage after that realization.

    If you drive a blimp to Blimpie you should get like 20% off of your order (limit two subs per customer) or something. That would be a nice incentive for the blimp industry to ramp up production.
