Dear Reader,
Two Truths and a Lie is a parlor game where each participant tells two truths and one lie about themselves, and then everyone in the group gets to guess which tidbit is the lie. On the Internet, however, it seems that everyone is playing 99 Lies and One Truth.
From hoaxes, phishing attempts, novice “journalists,” politicians, and political supporters, it’s hard to know what is true. I’ve posted a list of 5 sites that will help you sort fact from fiction: “How to Fact Check the Internet.”
See ya on the Net,

The killer whale (also known as an orca) is a marine mammal and the largest member of the dolphin family. They are found in all the world’s oceans, both cold (Arctic Ocean) and warm (Indian Ocean). Killer whales are social mammals that live in family pods. Their diet varies from fish to marine mammals, depending on where they live. Killer whales are at the top of the food chain, as there is no animal that preys on them.

It has been extensively studied in the wild and is often the main attraction at many sea parks and aquaria.” Visit for more orca details including feeding, mating, and natural history.
