How many moons does the earth have? →
zmizet:
At least 7.

The first one identified was Cruithne (Cru-een-ya, named after Britain’s earliest recorded Celtic tribe) and it is...

Everything-ism →
bobulate:
David Sedaris uses, not a real stove but, a stove metaphor to talk about work-life balance:
One burner represents your family, one is your friends, the third is your health, and the fourth is your work. The gist … was that in order to be successful you have to cut off one of your burners. And in order to be really successful you have to cut off two.
James Franco seems to defy...

her-rabbits:
Trees talk to each other at night. All fish are named either Lorna or Jack. Before your eyeballs fall out from watching too much TV, they get very loose. Tiny bears live in drain pipes. If you are very very quiet you can hear the clouds rub against the sky. The moon and the sun had a fight a long time ago. Everyone knows at least one secret language. When nobody is looking, I can...

HOW DOES OUR LANGUAGE SHAPE THE WAY WE THINK? →
azspot:
In fact, you don’t even need to go into the lab to see these effects of language; you can see them with your own eyes in an art gallery. Look at some famous examples of personification in art — the ways in which abstract entities such as death, sin, victory, or time are given human form. How does an artist decide whether death, say, or time should be painted as a man or a woman? It...
