Science is Fun Fridays!

  Researchers from The Australian National University conducted an experiment with dolphins using music. It may not seem surprising that these playful animals are attracted to the high-pitched frequencies of several instruments, including the flute, piccolo, and the Indian wooden recorder.  They responded to high-pitched singing as well. Flutist Sally Walker said a pod appeared just minutes after she started playing. "High frequencies and particular intervallic distances between notes seemed to draw the dolphins in and excite them, and staff of the Imagine boat said that we had seen an unusually large number of dolphins both in the port and out to sea." The dolphins can be heard  Here Dr. Olivia de Bergerac believes that we can communicate with dolphins through music. "Dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and can sense our thoughts, feelings, state of being and send us sounds to heal us." The next step in the study is to investigate the possibility of interacti

Fat Thursday

  This is a Polish tradition that celebrates a guilt-free opportunity to gorge on all things dough-related. But they especially love paczki, or doughnuts, traditionally filled with rose jam. Like Fat Tuesday, it is a binge before Lent. On this, Tlusty Czwartek, Polish bakeries will be bursting with flavors and revelers.  It is believed that the tradition of buying and sharing paczki dates back to the 16th century. In the 18th century, historian Jedrzej Kitowicz, made reference to the density and texture of the doughnuts, noting that they were a marked improvement on the baked goods of old, so the recipe has changed over the years. So enjoy one today!

Twos Day!

Image
 In numerology, this is considered an angel number, or a number bearing particular energy or universal message.  In this case, it is about connections and coming together. Clark County in Las Vegas celebrated its 5 millionth marriage certificate over the weekend, as many have planned a wedding for today. Reno was even hosting a contest to win an elopement to say "I do" next to the arch. It is also, of course, Taco Tuesday with a perfect pairing of National Margarita Day. A local radio station has always done "Twofer Tuesdays" so here are two songs from the band, 2wo. This was a short-lived side project from Rob Halford (Judas Priest), which included John 5 on guitar, who has worked with David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie. Feel free to post a twofer or anything else that fits the day!
