I didn't read it! :P

. . . I get scared easily, I just do it so I can sleep at night.

Being in the hospital for possible problems with my appendix can get really boring.

If you're still there, you can always PM me or something. I'm on half of always, and I'll talk about anything. ;)

Thank you! 

But I'm finally out. My arm still aches a little from the IV fluids, and and I feel sort of queasy from I don't know what, but I needed no surgery! :D  Yay!

 

EDit: And I found this fabulous rainbow . . .

Ooh! A mantis shrimp! The True Facts video series put its amazing color seeing ability like this:

"The mantis shrimp can see twelve times as many colors as humans. Imagine all the colors you cannot imagine. Now do it twelve more times. That's how the mantis shrimp do."

How do we know they can see more colours than us if we can't see them?

 

 

Light has been proven to exist in a vast spectrum, the majority of which is invisible to us. What light we can see we owe to three types of cone cell within our eyeballs which are sensitive to the specific part of the spectrum we know and love. All colors, from black to white to green to majenta are all seen using three different types of cone filtering these colors out of the light spectrum.

 

The mantis shrimp, by comparison, has sixteen types of cone that experiments have shown to be reactive to a much vaster array of lights. It's like seeing your cat suddenly lift up his head with an intent expression on his face, while previously napping. The human ear isn't sophisticated enough to pick up whatever your cat was hearing, but you can tell from the knowledge that his ears are more sophisticated combined with his behavior that these sounds exist and that he is capable of hearing them.

 

 

Bottom line: I agree, mantis shrimps are super cool. :D

Internet problems:

 

Cons: Can't access online notes for essay, can't Shard, can't email.

 

Pros: This little game.

But just think about all the fun games you could play on the Shard. Like pin the cuteness to the pug. :P

did you know the mantis shrimp can hit things with its foreclaws with the same acceleration of a .22 caliber rifle? to put that into perspective, if you could throw a baseball at a tenth of that speed it would go into orbit.
