Happy world hamster day, conrads! Today may we all celebrate the tiny rodents! Have some hamster facts!

  • Biggs is currently inside your walls currently taking notes of your liberalism

  • Hamsters have an extremely high alcohol tolerance and can drink Everclear 190 while only getting a little buzzed

  • The domestic hamster can run over 5 miles in a single night, keeping you up all night with frantic wheel squeaking noises

  • Hamsters have extremely flexible spines that allow them to turn around in any tunnel they can fit in

  • Hamsters' cheek pouches extend all the way to their hips and can carry up to a quarter of their body weight in them

  • It is believed that almost, if not all domesticated Syrian hamsters, the most common species of pet hamster, can trace their lineage back to a single pregnant female caught in the wild in 1930

      It’s Universal Pre-K provided by the local school district, so they ride with the elementary school kids. What we pay in taxes on our house for the year is what we’d pay for daycare in two months otherwise. It’s incredible.

      I traveled to a city with cheap public transit for the first time recently. I imagine it’s a similar feeling.
