I had to check out the competition, just to see how I’m doing.  I felt a lot better after I stumbled upon this gem of a ’fact’:  “Ostriches are often not taken seriously. They can run faster than horses, and the males can roar like lions.”       …Ostriches are often not taken seriously….  that’s a fact?  Did someone conduct a poll that asked, “Do you take ostriches seriously? Yes or No.”  I can imagine some guy thinking:  Gee, I take a lot of animals seriously.  I respect them, value their opinions, and base their worth off of how fast they can run and how loud they can roar.  But I don’t think an ostrich scores high in those departments.  So I don’t take them seriously.   Why does this guy’s fact website try to bring horses and lions down to the level of the ostrich.  

P.S. The American Quarter Horse can reach speeds of 50 mph.  The ostrich did not take the time trial seriously, and was disqualified.
