It's called "Thanksgiving" which is an excuse to eat ridiculous amounts of food. However, instead of hibernating we keep waking up and when more holidays come around we eat even more.

GregorMendel Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 If you'd like, try a brief google search on Thermogenin and brown adipose tissue. Hibernation is one of the more amazing biochemical processes of the mammalian body :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 But but .....if we hibernated we would miss Advent and Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 With the amount of money our city spends on snow shoveling, hibernating would help cut my property taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
