Apropos to nothing: A group of hedgehogs is referred to as an “array.” However, seeing hedgehogs together is rare because they are solitary creatures. Generally, adult hedgehogs only come together to mate.

Not sure what this means for us.

Yes indeed.

This mornings paper reported a study that attributed more home runs in baseball to climate change.

It concluded that since the air is warmer and, thus, thinner, the ball can fly further.

Probably paid for with a government grant.

Of course, there are hundreds of variables which enter into a final determination, and must be researched, financed by unlimited government grants. (But the conclusion will be the same!)
