Who Knew? Some Fun Facts

By and large, women are predisposed to be more maternal than men, and little girls more than little boys, and it's probably in their DNA.

But this "baby DNA" infiltration only occurs during pregnancy, and then hangs on for years...decades, even. And I suppose researchers will be able to clearly separate learned maternal behaviors from predisposed maternal behaviors, and both of those from this biophysical process they just discovered.

Honestly, I think a pill or some sort of treatment is coming.

It seems to me that this phenomenon of the mother adopting the DNA of the fetus could relate to the mother not rejecting the foreign tissue of the fetus.

Television wouldn't come out until 1948. Which means he was never bombarded with commercials for things like Medicare Advantage Plans, Lume Whole Body Deodorant, Election Candidate ads, etc.
He never had the experience of having long forgotten ad jingles suddenly pop up in his head 30 years later.

Sounds like a good time to be alive.

Professional chefs and home cooks may use the word “vegetable” to describe everything from asparagus and broccoli to zucchini and yams. But it turns out the term has no scientific value. When the BBC asked botanist Wolfgang Stuppy of the Royal Botanic Gardens if vegetables really exist, he answered, “No, not botanically... the term vegetable doesn’t exist in botanical terminology.”
 

The Goodyear Blimp is the official bird of Redondo Beach, California.​

The Goodyear Blimp is surely iconic, but it's not exactly a living, breathing creature. Still, that didn't stop Redondo Beach—a coastal city situated near the Goodyear Blimp’s home airport in Carson, California—from passing a resolution in 1983 to make the blimp its official bird.

Maybe the word 'vegetable' comes from the very general term 'vegetation'.
