A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away." The distressed...

I have found that when editing my page, some of the text change to being underlined for some reason. This is text that I have not touched or edited. What does this happen? Am I accidentally clicking something? I can place the cursor on it and it does not show it as being underlined but it...

My wife is concerned when she sees this brown spot on an egg. She won't eat it. Would someone tell me what it is? I suspect it is normal even if it occurs on a very small number of eggs. Thank you in advance.
