Since we’re on the topic of fascinating facts, did you know that McDonald’s once created bubblegum-flavored broccoli? Let that sink in for a few moments.
This was back in 2014 when health advocates compelled the fast-food giant to enhance the nutritional quality of its menu items. The idea was to introduce healthy eating to children through this innovative Happy Meal addition.
However, during focus group discussions, the idea was a flop, and the company was urged to scrap it altogether.

This is a famous case here ( Victoria, Australia ). Feral foxes were getting to the island and killing the penguins, so someone had the bright idea to " employ " a protection dog. I think she's a Maremma ( Italian sheep dog ). They're great at protecting other animals such as checkens.

The late Neil Armstrong became a household name for being the first human being to set foot on the moon. But in 2004, he was in the news headlines after barbershop owner Marx Sizemore collected his hair clippings and sold them for a whopping $3,000 to collector John Reznikoff.
Armstrong threatened to sue Sizemore, who refused to give in. Reznikoff, however, donated an additional $3,000 to charity.

Since 2011, the pope has been ineligible to donate his organs. According to Vatican officials, the pope’s body “belongs to the entire church” and must remain intact when buried. Others argue that the recipient may risk becoming an object of veneration, especially when the pope who passed on becomes a saint.
Until 1903, the Vatican in Rome removed the organs of a pope who had recently passed on and turned them into relics for the church.

I actually have a similar-ish picture of my horse and his best friend after mine had been kept in his stable for months with laminitis. When I let him back into the field for the first time, with the intention of just giving him 20 minutes out there to start with, he spent the entire time grooming with his bestie and didn't eat a single blade of grass.

He has much more treatment to go, but his strength and resilience is amazing to witness.

The World’s Largest Ancient Mosaic Has Been Discovered In Turkey
The 9,000 square foot mosaic will open this year. It was discovered nine years ago during the construction of a new hotel in Antakya, Turkey.
Archaeologists believe that the mosaic once decorated the floor of a public building in the ancient city of Antioch, one of the most important cities of the Seleucid Empire.
Archaeologists collaborated with architects to preserve this ancient artifact during the construction of the hotel now part-time and museum.
The platform connected to the columns now hovers over the mosaic, and visitors will be able to see this masterpiece from above from special viewpoints.

Me Before And After Losing Weight
I stopped sharing my life, progress, story back in 2020/2021. Just felt right at the time. Do What Best For You is what I would tell people. I started my WLS at 500lbs, in 2014. I lost 360 pounds in 20 months. Had a few surgeries. Here and there. Enjoyed my ride. I’m growing old from past life choices I once didn’t understand, my future I get to see, at a time it was so dark. I hope someone out there who thinks there in a bad spot sees my progress and it’s helps inspire them, even briefly. Do What’s Best For You.

One of the sadder things about severe weight loss is how aged one looks after doing this really amazing thing for yourself. It seems a bit unfair. I know Ozempic brought it into the spotlight, but it just comes w significant weight loss, especially fast weight loss. Obviously the trade to be healthy is worth it! Just commenting.

It lies in ruins on the banks of the Niagara River. It's not the only defunct steel factory in the Buffalo/Niagara region.

The Niagara River is so badly polluted there are signs on the banks warning not to eat from the river. The NY side of the falls is a ruinous wreck with piles of trash and old rotting buildings. Niagara falls NY is too dangerous to live it anymore. The Canadian side of the falls is a huge national park kept in pristine condition
