Icefish have no hemoglobin and possess an antifreeze glycoprotein. Very interesting animals.

There's a game Tower of Hanoi where you must move a pyramid of disks to one pole on the left to the pole to the right. There is a middle pole which you can use. The rule is that you can only place a disk on another disk that is larger. (To keep the pyramid shape). This game can easily be done with 4 disks (16 moves) or 5 ( 32 moves ).
There is a legend that and Indian temple has a Tower of Hanoi with 64 disks. The priests of Brahma must move these disks, to fulfill some prophacy. Once the game is complete, the universe will end. Or so the legend goes.
You might say, "Oh, that would be easy." But if these pieces are moved every second till the end, the game would last about 600 billion years. The universe is guessed to be 14 billion years old.
I find this inspiring. Even a problem so simple when small can become extremely difficult if not impossible when more pieces are added.
It is also a good trick to play with a friend. Show them how to play the game with a 5 piece. Then tell them its impossible to do a 15 piece. (or bet). With a 15 piece, if they move a piece a day, it would take them 90 years. (33,000 move)

I see your hair is green..... did you know...
In heaven some of the angels can change the color of their hair, basically to play with the many children that are in heaven. Some are like clowns and love to see the children laugh. Some have rainbow color hair. Some angels are only about two feet, some as high as 15 feet tall. There's army's of angels when needed. Some angels have wings, and very big wings, these fly over God's throne. Jesus takes care of the many children in haven, helps the very small babies to walk and gives them many baby teeth so they can eat on their own, these children have their own rooms with toys that change color. The older children run up to Jesus since they can see him from far off, a bright light coming... the children all run up to him all around him and some play little harps and sing as some dance.....The love from God and Jesus and everything in heaven is love on a whole new level..... the love on earth doesn't compare to the love that's in heaven, you don't want to come back once your there:)

As per the instructions in his will, the ashes of famed Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson were loaded into a cannon and fired across his Colorado ranch while a Bob Dylan song played.
I'll bet you didn't know that.

Hello.
You are a harbinger and creater of life, you procreate, alike the rest of us, but the product of your procreation is a unique individual. We are all born unique, as no one individual is quite like another. In comparison, we are like cakes and no two cakes look or taste the same, because each cake; althought being created in the same method, cannot be same and if this is not the case then we would not be individuals.
Kind Regards

Not worried about points, but here's a Buddhist (and essentially atheist) bit: all things arise due to causes and conditions, change and are impermanent, to include matter and thoughts. Linear time is illogical except as it serves the day-to-day goings on in this life.

The universe is a bubble and we are the soapy skin, As time goes on, our bubble expands, as the 2D cartoon characters on a child's globe are unaware of the third dimension, so are we 3D characters unaware our fourth dimension, Time. Very soon our bubble will reach its limit and the universe will simply pop into non existence
