Goldfish do not have a three-second memory.

They can remember information for weeks or even months.

Goldfish can learn routines, recognize feeding times, and even respond to colors and sounds.

Some experiments have trained goldfish to complete simple tasks and navigate mazes.

The myth likely became popular because goldfish are small and seen as simple pets, but scientists say their memory is far better than most people think. (And better than some people 😉)

Alkaline hydrolysis, also called water cremation, biocremation, resomation, flameless cremation, or aquamation, breaks down the body using water, lye, and heat. Bones are dried and crushed into ashes. The liquid is sterile, treated in wastewater systems, and eventually enters rivers, lakes, or irrigation, returning nutrients to the environment. It uses less energy than flame cremation and produces no air pollution.

The origins of Halloween can be traced back more than 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated around October 31.

The Celts believed that the boundary between the living and the dead became thinner during this time.

People lit large bonfires and wore costumes to protect themselves from wandering spirits.

Over centuries, Samhain traditions mixed with Christian observances, eventually contributing to the Halloween celebrations we know today.

A gold coin found in 1713 in Transylvania is likely genuine. The coin shows a Roman ruler named Sponsian, who was long believed to be fictional. Tests found real ancient wear and soil deposits, suggesting he was a real leader during the 3rd-century Roman crisis.

In the 19th century, parts of New England (Rhode Island, eastern Connecticut, southern Massachusetts, and Vermont) believed tuberculosis, then called “consumption,” was caused by vampires — the dead draining life from the living.

Families sometimes dug up bodies of deceased relatives, burned their organs, or mixed ashes with water to use as remedies, hoping to stop the disease from spreading to the living.
