Turtle Day


We hear about them in parables of being slow and plodding, steady and methodical, and being occasionally obsessed with Ninjitsu, news reporters, and pizza. We are, of course, talking about Turtles! Turtles are a type of reptile that exists in many environments throughout the world and have found their way into literature, poetry, and parable throughout the world’s history. World Turtle Day celebrates these noble reptiles and their place in the world and encourages people to take action to help protect both the common pet turtle and the ever endangered sea turtle.

So let's make an effort in protecting these guys

What a coincidence!The world has now truly begun to understand the value of healthcare workers amidst the corona virus pandemic and guess what its nurse day.In my opinion this nurse day should be celebrated like none before as it is now that we need them the most. But mark my word this isn't going to be another long essay about the corona virus.(You don't deserve even that you virus!)This will be like usual a fun ,entertaining, and factual piece of  entertainment . SO Buckle up,tie your seatbelts and let's go(God it's been so long since I have been on a flight) Historically, as well as today, nurses are at the forefront of fighting epidemics and pandemics -  providing high quality and respectful treatment and care.

Octopi have took inhabited the world a long time before us about 256 years ago. The octopus is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda. Around 300 species are recognised, and the order is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids. Like other cephalopods, the octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beak, with its mouth at the center point of the 8 limbs. The soft body can rapidly alter its shape, enabling octopuses to squeeze through small gaps. They trail their eight appendages behind them as they swim. Fun facts: 1. A 50-pound octopus can squeeze through a hole only 2 inches in diameter. If their beak fits, they can get   through. 2. They are about 90 percent muscle. 3.
