Who’s A Good Boy?

This plaque is located on the Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic. It is part of the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, one of the most famous sculptures on the bridge.
The polished golden area on the dog is the result of centuries of people touching it for good luck. There is a popular belief that rubbing the dog ensures a return to Prague or brings good fortune.

Circles, Squared

Circles, Squared

Look, I tell you
it’s all here—forty-seven
metallic squares singing
in perfect orbit

Have you ever watched
illusion build its nest
in the corners
of your eyes? How
carefully it feeds
on what you need
to see?

I don’t know exactly
what makes circles
spin their silver prayer
but I know this:
the world bends
for those willing
to believe in belief.

Which is to say:
I believe in the way
my eyes create
their own wild truth
out of stillness.

The Ocean: Earth’s Oxygen Factory
While rainforests are vital, it’s the ocean that produces over half of the world’s oxygen. Marine plants like plankton and algae are the unsung heroes of our breathable air.
Stomach Acid vs. Metal
The human stomach contains acid potent enough to dissolve razor blades. Its pH level ranges from 1 to 3, showcasing its incredible strength.
Bananas: The Radioactive Fruit
Bananas contain potassium, and since potassium decays, that makes the yellow fruit slightly radioactive. But don’t worry—you’d need to eat ten million bananas in one sitting to die of banana-induced radiation poisoning.
Animals with Internal GPS
Some animals, like sea turtles and salmon, have the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field and use this sense for navigation.
Laughing Rats
Rats have the ability to “laugh” when tickled.
Earth’s Magnetic Shield
The Earth’s inner core, a sphere of solid iron, generates electrical currents due to temperature and density variations. Combined with the planet’s spin, this creates a magnetic field that protects us from harmful solar radiation.
The Moon’s Perfect Fit
The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but also 400 times as far away, making both objects appear to be the same size in our sky.
The Ocean’s Depths Remain a Mystery
Despite advances in technology, more than 80% of the Earth’s oceans remain unexplored and unmapped, holding mysteries yet to be discovered.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
