On April 18th 1930, people tuning in to listen to the BBC news bulletin were simply told "There is no news." followed by 15 minutes of piano music.

Especially in our modern world of constant pressure to feel like you're up to date, it's such a beautiful notion.

"There is no good news" would equally work, because most "good news" is usually not actually news-worthy, and no-one really wants to hear the bad news, do they?

Dogs can recognize their owner's voice calling them in a crowd, cats too but they don't give a damn.

Pigs can't look up into the sky due to the anatomy of their neck muscles and the spine that limits the movement of their head and restricts them to look totally upwards.

So they'll never know if pigs actually can fly... sad.

you can always place a hologram in the sky :)
or color an airplane/helicopter into pig-ping color and add extra accessories!

Genius! And of course we will also place a large mirror near pig farms angled in a way that makes it easy for piggies to look at the sky and see it.

Fair point. Although, even not being a flyer myself, I imagine it would be hard for them to fly without being able to look up but maybe if they just launch from a height...

It might not be as safe but it should still work. They might hit stuff every now and then... ^^

The caterpillar form of Uraba lugens has been nicknamed the mad hatterpillar because it wears its own molted heads all stacked up to to ward off predators. Because of the way that it sheds, the head part of its exoskeleton stays attached to its body.

it’s an offence to handle salmon under suspicious circumstances in great brittan, which is a thing from a law in 1986 as i remember :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Section 32 of the Act is headed "Handling Salmon in Suspicious Circumstances".[2] This section creates an offence in England and Wales or Scotland for any person who receives or disposes of any salmon in circumstances where they believe, or could reasonably believe, that the salmon has been illegally fished. Essentially, this is a provision aimed at reducing salmon poaching by making the handling of poached salmon a criminal offence.[original research?] Section 22 introduces a parallel provision into Scottish law.[3]

The Eiffel Tower changes size several times a year!
It's due to the heat that causes the steel to expand

I like having numbers that are easy to visualize. Like how metric has easy round reference numbers for itself.
With hearing numbers like million and billion more and more, i like to remember this simple reference.
"One million seconds is 11 days. One billion seconds is 33 years."

Yeah, the metric one is cool too...
1 cubic centimeter of water, weighs 1 gram, has the volume of 1 milliliter, and to raise it 1 degree centigrade, takes 1 calorie of energy.
Whereas when carrying several gallons i hum to myself, "Water weighs 8.354 lbs per gallon.... 1 pound is 453.6 grams..." and then do some math in my head to distract from the pain of carrying so much.
edit: It also takes 1 btu to heat up 1 lb of water, by 1 degree. You just have to remember that it takes 1.92 cups of water to get 1 pound.
