We have a really good aquarium store in this town, so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks!

I love that show. Who knew Norwegians could make such funny comedy in English?

Do you think I could create an ecosphere with ghost shrimp and a marimo moss ball? I've had that idea for a long time, but I don't know if it's viable.

 

Unearth the #Cairo Toe! 🦶 Dating back to 950-710 BCE, this wooden prosthetic toe from ancient #Egypt, now in the British Museum, reflects remarkable innovation. More than art, it's functional, enhancing mobility. A testament to resilience through the ages.

It was larger than any of the European capitals in its day.

Brought peace?

 

When you think of animation, do you think of modern technology and computers? What if we showed you an animation dating back 14,000 years?

Discovered in 1868 in France's Laugerie-Basse rock shelter, this tiny (only 3.1 cm) bone disc is like a prehistoric 'gif'!

There is a mountain goat drawing on both sides of the disc and a hole in the middle. When you quickly turn the disc, it creates an optical illusion as if the goat is moving, due to the perfect proportions of the drawings and the alignment of the ridge lines.

Here is a primitive but impressive predecessor of modern animation.

I remember it was in the new books section of the school library and I was attracted to it immediately and spent the day reading it instead of paying attention in my classes. I need to read it again. Thanks for bringing it up!

I read that ages ago. Back in high school, in fact (I'm 46). I don't remember it except the chapter where time is a flock of birds that you have to try to catch to stay youthful. The children can catch them but always let them go and the adults can never catch them.

Mindblowing. I never even thought of things that way!

They discovered an ancient movie theater right next to it.

I agree, the article should have. I was speaking in generalities about the community.
