Because Jose Emanuel Deigo Candel was burned at the stake during the Spanish Inquisition??
I did find a nice science experiment, though. I am posting it under Physics Discussion so that the science can be discussed and explained.

The effect is illustrated by two originally identical photos, which are inverted. The second picture is obviously (and quite grotesquely) altered so that the eyes and mouth are vertically flipped, though the changes are not immediately obvious until the image is viewed in normal orientation.
This is thought to be due to specific psychological processes involved in face perception which are tuned especially to upright faces. Faces seem unique despite the fact that they are very similar. It has been hypothesised that we develop specific processes to differentiate between faces that rely as much on the configuration (the structural relationship between individual features on the face) as the details of individual face features, such as the eyes, nose and mouth. When a face is upside down, the configural processing cannot take place, and so minor differences are more difficult to detect.
This effect is not present in people who have some forms of prosopagnosia, a disorder where face processing is impaired, usually acquired after brain injury or illness. This suggests that their specific brain injury may damage the process that analyses facial structures.

The Taxi is in reverse for a short distance??
The dinosaur turns, sweeps his tail, and in one deft move hits the sheepy at exactly the right angle and velocity to launch the sheepy into the air and towards the front of the dinosaur where the sheepy is swallowed whole through the gaping maw of the dinosaur's mouth.
It's not nice to piss off daddy dinosaur.

Most of the well-known manufacturers produced pony or horse drawn mowers but probably the best known was Alexander Shanks and Co of Arbroath, Scotland. This company had produced the first horse drawn mowers in the mid-19th century and they were immediately popular, especially on the growing number of golf courses and other sports grounds that were being built at the time. Some people believe that this is the origin of the term "Shanks's Pony",
It's an archaic expression and possibly has a northern bias ...QuoteMost of the well-known manufacturers produced pony or horse drawn mowers but probably the best known was Alexander Shanks and Co of Arbroath, Scotland.

I think the blocks are counties within states.
The greater the (human) population density the more numerous and smaller the counties within a state.
So poorly populated states have big blocks.
i.e the block size is is inversely proportional to population density.
It's cobwebs you have to worry about!
... Loving County, which has a population of 67 people.
I thought it was 69. That would acount for a low population.
King County has the second-smallest population of any county in the continental United States
