A Truck Full Of Slime Eels Spilled Into The Highway And It Was The Stuff Of Nightmares- Review day 21

"#Cleanup on Aisle 101" happened to be the statement of the day in Oregon yesterday. A truck carrying 7500 pounds of slithering fish in 13 different containers over turned on US Route 101 after the 59-year-old driver was unable to stop the truck for construction work. There were no major injuries to humans but many of the creatures were lost. Initially the authorities thought that they were eels, but they are actually Hagfish, which are commonly know as slime eels. The road was closed for a few hours but reopened by 4pm.
Honestly this is slightly terrifying. There are so many different things about this that just give me the creeps, a lot of them not even mentioned in the article. For instance, a truck carrying 13 containers cannot stop and spills HAGFISH all over the highway, that was traveling to Korea for consumption...
  1. 13, the most unlucky number that almost every culture has superstitions on, is the number of containers being carried. Who ever loaded this truck, you're stupid! You never do things in 13s!
  2. Hagfish, creepy af fish! They are a slimy fish that look like eels. They are also the only known animal to have a skull but no vertebral column.
  3. HMM... traveling to Korea... for consumption... I'd say Karma had a small part in this.

NASA Prepares for Aug. 21 Total Solar Eclipse with Live Coverage, Safty Information-Review Day 19

For the first time in 99 years will the sun undergo a full solar eclipse that can be seen from all across the continental US. NASA is in full motion preparing for this event to show the eclipse from at least 65 different cameras; each giving a different and unique vantage point of the rare celestial event. NASA also plans on airing a multi-hour broadcast called Eclipse Across America: Through the Eyes of NASA that will be showing the eclipse live and giving information and coverage on activities in parks, libraries, stadiums, festivals and museums across the nation. I'm pretty excited for this event. Mostly because it is a once in a life time thing and I get to experience it with my family. We are actually going camping in Casper WY for it then coming back the next day to go to a Trace Adkins Concert at the fair.

These 'Indesturctible' Animals Would Survive a Planet-Wide Apocalypse -review day 22

An Animal that can survive even up until the sun quits shinning? No... that can't be true. But it is. Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are tiny water-dwelling creatures that are famed for their resiliency. They can survive for up to 30 years without food or water and can endure extreme temperature changes. WHAT?! No, not okay. They can even survive astrophysical events, like supernovas and asteroid strikes. I'm sorry but no way is that even possible! If they can survive all that, does that mean they can survive someone stepping on them? Are they completely impossible to kill? I'm only asking because tiny, eight-legged things resemble spiders, and I hate spiders.

The Magical ‘Harry Potter’ College Courses For True Ravenclaws At Heart -Review Day 15

After 20 years of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', Colleges are taking full advantage of the popularity and major interest in the Harry Potter series. Creating courses similar to those of Hogwarts, colleges gain the interest in many young adults and use this to look deeper into the Harry Potter world and compare it to our own world. They take the ideas that J.K. Rowling came up and study deeper into them, such as determining why she used a certain social culture in the magic world compared to our own. I find this so cool and creative of these colleges. It brings something that has such a huge fan base into education to take closer looks at the ideas, morals, and cultural choices of J.K. Rowling.
