Oui and si are derived from different roots. Oui is from Latin hoc ille, while si is from Latin sic.

There is actually a si in French that also means yes and comes from the same root as the Spanish and Italian si. However, its usage is much more limited. It's only used to express disagreement. For example, if I said "Potato chips don't taste good." and you wanted to say "Yes, they do!", then you could use si.

If your pizza topping is a slightly smaller pizza, and that pizza is in turn topped with an even smaller pizza and so on, then it can be a literal food pyramid

Manitoba doesn't belong on that list. Manitoba's electricity comes from 100% renewable sources (~97% hydro, ~3% wind, and 0% fossil fuels).

I just finished my first full marathon! It was the most grueling 4 hours and 15 minutes of my life. I've never been more sore or more exhausted. Can't wait to do it again next year!

It's not exclusively hummingbirds, there are a few others. The wikipedia pages on Ornithophily and Nectarivores have some info about this.
