Winston Churchill on the Subject of Hell
Some subjects are more personal than others. As an atheist, the Hell described by institutional religion and so well defined by Dante, are a figment from men wanting power over everyone else. I truly, sincerely believe that. Yet I do believe in a “other” world that could be called ” Read more

Why do Sunflowers face each other during cloudy days?
This property of facing the sun is mostly observed in young flowerheads and generally stops once the flower starts to bloom ( mature sunflowers generally face east).
