mmm's Fun Fact of Whenever I Feel Like It!

Dung beetles use Milky Way to roll muck - it's true!

Scientists in Sweden have found that dung beetles use the Milky Way to orientate themselves as they roll their balls of muck along the ground.

Cool story bro. Mine are better


This is a rare "rainbow cloud" spotted over Mount Everest. Rainbow clouds form similarly to rainbows, but instead of water droplets the ice crystals reflect the sunlight.

looks photoshopped to me

my dung beetle fact was the bestest. DONT BE MEAN

If this is real, it's super amazing. :O

What, you don't trust me? Google it.

Here's Mount Fuji with a hat.


Another example of lenticular clouds.

Twitch, I'll never look at Milky Ways the same ever again.
Anyways,

Firenadoes, the worst natural disaster yet. A column of deadly swirly fire, known to cause wildfires.

This is somewhat complicated to explain, so I'll let IFLS do it for you.

"Gun Lake in British Columbia,Canada - frost flowers.

When these photographs were taken 'the air was extremely cold and extremely dry, colder than the ocean surface. When the air gets that different from the sea, the dryness pulls moisture off little bumps in the ice, bits of ice vaporize, the air gets humid - but only for a while. The cold makes water vapor heavy. The air wants to release that excess weight, so crystal by crystal, air turns back into ice, creating delicate, feathery tendrils that reach sometimes two, three inches high, like giant snowflakes. The sea, literally, blossoms.' " -IFLS's Facebook page


This here is a soap bubble. Now I know what you're thinking..."That's no soap bubble.."

Well, it's specifically a frozen one. Cool, huh?

How long does it take you guys to make a maze? 5 minutes? An hour for a good one? How about 7 years.

[meiguorach]

...and how long would it take you to finish said maze? o.o


And, the frost flowers are sooo beautiful!

Okay, so savants are awesome. If you don't know what they are, google em and look at the amazing things these people can do, like learn Finnish in a week or learn 22,514 digits of pie, just to name two.

But what I recently found out is an interesting theory about how savant syndrome comes to pass (bonus fact, you can become a savant if you receive head trauma. Don't try this at home, because it's more likely that Frook will actually get a decent chatbox than you become a savant). So this one theory says that certain brain cells that die/do not form were formerly responsible for filtering the sensory information we receive. This is necessary, so we can see the tree as a tree and not the individual leaves on it, as a bad example. Anyway, this is the curse and the blessing of those with Savant syndrome. Patterns not previously apparent become apparent, and this could explain some of savants' remarkable capabilities.

I may edit this later, because my English sucked.

O.o I was spoken about this 2 years ago,Savants are unable to do many other things because of this....*some are unable to dress themselves...
