The Reason I loved My 4th Grade Teacher.

Mrs. Salisbury, my 4th grade teacher took 30mins-1hr before lunch everyday and read to us a great selection of books. one of these happened to be made into a movie, "The Last Unicorn".

not sure about the movie, but read the book.

These use their ability to change their color as a way of communication... they hunt in packs and drag humans down, suggesting that they understand that we need air to breathe.

The Alligator Gar. AWARENESS.

I wouldn't want to be in the water with that thing...
The Alligator Gar is a very large freshwater fish with a set of jaws that explain his name.

"Gars are easily distinguished from other freshwater species by their long, slender, cylindrical bodies, long snouts, and diamond-shaped interlocking (ganoid) scales. The tail fin is rounded. Dorsal and anal fins are placed well back on the body and nearly opposite each other. Alligator gar is the largest of the gar species. It can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh more than 300 pounds. Adults have two rows of large teeth on either side of the upper jaw. Coloration is generally brown or olive above and lighter underneath. The species name spatula is Latin for "spoon", referring to the creature's broad snout."

The alligator gar can live for 50-75 years. They can grow to about 8 feet long and can weight as much as 300-350 lbs.
They are located in Texas, and have been seen in some parts of Florida.
Luckily, there are people like this is Texas. Who claimed that he would've broken the record with a 400lb Gar, but it looks like he's just proud of his kill...( link here. )

Largest Dinosaur of All Time Discovered!!!

Based on its thigh bones, the massive prehistoric creature was 130 feet long, 65 feet tall and weighed an estimated 85 tons (77 metric tons) — that's as heavy as 14 African elephants.

"Given the size of these bones, which surpass any of the previously known giant animals, the new dinosaur is the largest animal known that walked on Earth," the scientists told the BBC

We just found the largest dinosaur to walk Earth, how is that possible?!?

Fish get cocky when drunk!

"It is clear that the untreated fish were matching the swimming speed of the alcohol-exposed fish, and this correlation was especially strong at an intermediate level of alcohol exposure. At very high or low levels, the influence decreases."

"In other words, tipsy fish get confident, while drunk-off-their-rocker fish get clumsy. When the drunk fish look like they've got it under control, the sober fish follow their lead. And you thought being at the top of the food chain made you so special."

Javascript Terrain = FRACTALS

I love fractals, personally. They are all around us and they are vital in the building blocks of life.

 Awesome Page to try out the Imagery ---> HERE

"Programmers tend to be lazy (I speak from experience), and one nice side effect of laziness is really brilliant ways to avoid work. In this case, instead of spending mind-numbing hours manually creating what would likely be pretty lame rocky surfaces, we'll get spiritual and teach the computer what it means to be a rock. We'll do this by generating fractals, or shapes that repeat patterns in smaller and smaller variations."

If you're interested in fractal imagery, there is a "sandbox-type" website ---> HERE
(this is probably how AI is going to begin understanding self-evolution,
and build themselves a leader... just  saying.)

Awesome new skyscraper that scares you on purpose!

"The John Hancock Tower in Chicago rolled out a snazzy scary new attraction for people who visit the top of the skyscraper: windows that tilt down to give you a better view of the ground beneath you. It's like a roller coaster ride for those afraid of heights (that would be me). Just stand next to the window and it'll tilt itself down like you're falling."

That guy should get together with this guy,
and we would be on our way to Cyborg-limbs.

"In the FDA study, 90% of test subjects were able to quickly adapt to using the DEKA Arm for tasks that were impossible with traditional arm prosthetics, like brushing hair and using keys and zippers."
