Things to ponder about

Have worked outside for around 50 years or so. Now and then feel a little burning sensation and pass it off. Then again around 50 tonnes of meteoric space debris falls to Earth every day.

You never know, at some point in your life, and chances are pretty good, you could be hit by Star Dust and not even know it :)
Lead rains down on us daily from airplanes (as their fuel is still lead based.)
There's exhaust from vehicles and factories.
Other burnings, like forest fires, are more common.
Heavy metals, volatile organic chemicals, Phthalates.... and a weakening ozone layer.

A new animated map sheds light on the superhot "zombie star" at the heart of a nebula leftover from a distant supernova witnessed by astronomers in 1181. The remains of the stellar explosion are unusually wonky and are still exploding at a constant speed.

As Halloween quickly approaches, please take time to remember one very important thing - it’s Frankenstein’s Monster! Frankenstein is NOT the name of the Monster. Frankenstein was the creator, the Monster was the creation. Frankenstein’s Monster. Thank you.

And Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein

If you watch the movie, I found a film flub. Others probably found it too.

When The Monster visit's the blind , old man, he reaches up and places his hand on a rafter. But he's blind. When he moved in , did family tell him about the rafters?

But I have a horrible memory
