Apr. 11th mind blowing random thought of the day: James Madison was the shortest president in U.S. history, standing at only 5’4” and weighing no more than 100 pounds. Because of his small stature, he wore full-length trousers instead of knee-length knickers in order to appear taller, popularizing the fashion trend.

Some people are crepescular — most active when crepes are present.

In my mind that looked kind of funny :grin:
First this dude (strong man) :face_with_raised_eyebrow: tazed this other man :confounded: and then proceeded by throwing him a far distance :frowning: flexing his muscles.

Thank you brain :hugs:

April 17th unofficial mind-blowing random thought of the day: The first general-purpose electronic digital computer, ENIAC, was built in 1945. Its six primary programmers (Kay McNulty, Betty Jennings, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Meltzer, Fran Bilas, and Ruth Lichterman) were all women, whose job title was “computer”. They faced an incredible amount of blatant sexism in this position yet were undeterred from playing an absolutely critical role in the success of the ENIAC computer. Beyond their job of programming the computer (with wires and switches, not programming languages), they additionally developed an understanding of its inner workings and were able to speed up troubleshooting of its frequent hardware failures. Some of the women went on to make still further advances in computing after their work with ENIAC.

ENIAC was housed on the campus of The University of Pennsylvania, in downtown Philadelphia. Like many urban buildings, it had its share of pests. The term “debugging” arose from the process of finding and removing the bodies of cockroaches that had caused electrical shorts or power surges in those 18000 tubes that comprised its circuitry.

Are you Rob’s replacement? I sure I hope so. I enjoy checking in to get my mind blown. :joy:

Ah, can’t replace him unfortunately, but I can post unofficial mind-blowing random thoughts! For a little while, at least. I’m not prepared to take this up indefinitely…

Honey is basically bee vomit. Some bees are “forager” bees, which collect nectar from flowering plants. The foragers drink the nectar and keep it in their “honey stomach.” When the forager bee takes the nectar back to the hive, it regurgitates the nectar into the honey stomach of the “processor” bee near the entrance to the hive, which regurgitates it on the hive and allows it to ripen.
