What other way would you want?

Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

Today’s interesting fact has to do with Krill.

Krill are small shrimp like invertebrates that are found in all the oceans of the world and they feed many large animals, such as whales and basking sharks as well as many smaller species.

It is estimated that if you took all the Antarctic krill and placed them on one side of a balancing scale and put all the humans on the planet on the other side of the scale, the Krill would weigh more.
