I inserted a paragraph from one of my historical articles, and it told me I wrote like Dan Brown. But, when I chose a paragraph that was about Wells' Land Ironclads, it told me that I wrote like H. G. Wells. This could be because I quoted him numerous times, and it pulled his style out of his words, or because I used words that he, of course, would have used.

Even more interestingly, this specimen was apparently discovered after using Google Earth to find likely spots.

If I remember correctly, the gel serves as both their living environment and their food, so rather than moving the sand as they do in typical farms, they just eat to make a tunnel.

While I agree the jokes may have been in poor taste, they were also mildly ill-informed. The Orca, who is in fact that largest member of the Dolphin family, has the common name "Killer Whale" because of a mistranslation of the Spanish, "ballena asesina," which would in fact mean "whale killer" or "killer of whales," arising from the fact that they can and will kill true members of the whale family.
