Something you might not remember…
Catfishes (order Siluriformes) are a diverse group of ray-finned fish. Named for their prominent barbels, which resemble a cat’s whiskers, catfish range in size and behavior from the two largest species, the Mekong giant catfish from Southeast Asia and the wels catfish of Eurasia, to detritivores (species that eat dead material on the bottom), and even to a tiny parasitic species commonly called the candiru, Vandellia cirrhosa.
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
A tower is a tall structure, taller than it is wide, often by a significant margin. Towers are distinguished from masts by their lack of guy-wires and are therefore, along with tall buildings, self-supporting structures.
.Hardwick and Hardwicke are common place names in England – This is from the Old English pre 7th century word “heorde”, meaning a herd or flock”, with “wic”, which like the later Viking word “thorp” described an outlying farm or settlement, which was dependent on a larger village.
