100 years ago, motorised kick scooters like todays ”Bird“ scooters, were already a thing. They were foldable, had a top speed of 15 mph and were used by New York gangs as getaway vehicles.

Musical Frisson: The Science Behind Musical Arousal 8o
Wesleyan University psychologist Psyche Loui and her student Luke Harrison set out to explain the phenomenon of “skin orgasms,” or frisson, in music listeners and musicians. One 1991 study found that about half of professional musicians and nonmusicians experienced shivers down the spine, trembling, flushing and sweating, and even sexual arousal in response to favorite pieces of music. The phenomenon, which also explains the altruism and cohesion that develops between individuals who make music together, is described in a BBC article by David Robson!

The first electric car in the United States was developed in 1890-91 by William Morrison of Des Moines, Iowa; the vehicle was a six-passenger wagon capable of reaching a speed of 23 kilometres per hour (14 mph). It was not until 1895 that consumers began to devote attention to electric vehicles, after A.L.

Female Elephants Fare Better With Grandma Around. The team, led by behavioral psychologist Phyllis Lee, learned that not only do daughters of long-lived elephant mothers live longer themselves, but that grandbaby elephants are more likely to survive with a grandmother around!

Fake News!!!
Flamingo egg yolks are absolutely NOT pink. The yolks are deep yellow to yellow-orange, depending upon the nutrient load the mother flamingo has had during egg development. All of the pictures I have seen of pink-yolked eggs have been common chicken eggs (both with brown shells and white shells).Mar 12, 2017

An adult koala eats between 200 to 500 grams of leaves each day. Koalas eat mainly eucalyptus leaves (gum leaves). Occasionally they will eat the leaves from some other native Australian trees, and they also use certain trees just for resting in. Koalas live in tall open eucalypt (gum tree) forests.

Ewwwwww! JUST GROSS! Looking at my belly now! 8o

Instead of taking your fingerprint, maybe police should swab our belly buttons with Q-tips. No, that's ridiculous, actually. But the idea illustrates a point made by a group of North Carolina-based researchers in their new Belly Button Biodiversity (BBB) project. Last month, the group published results of their first of many experiments, in which they swabbed 60 belly buttons and identified a total of 2,368 species of bacteria. People's individual profiles were snowflake-ily, bacterially unique.

The irony of Mickey Mouse's creation is that Walt Disney was in fact scared of mice.
However, he pictured mice as sympathetic creatures, despite people being scared of them.
