Scientists discovered an organism with a disappearing butt. The Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, told New Scientist that "The comb jelly," Mnemiopsis leidyi, has a disappearing butt. There is no documentation of a transient anus in any other animals that I know of. It is not visible when the animal is not pooping. There's no trace under the microscope. It's invisible to me." Who knew?

Who knew??? Hot water will turn into ice faster than cold water.
Hot water freezes faster than cold, known as the Mpemba effect. ... Evaporation is the strongest candidate to explain the Mpemba effect. As hot water placed in an open container begins to cool, the overall mass decreases as some of the water evaporates. With less water to freeze, the process can take less time.

National Harvey Wallbanger Day on November 8th recognizes a fruity and spirited cocktail made with 3 parts vodka, 1 part Galliano and 6 parts orange juice. Pour it into a highball glass and garnish it with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
In 1968 at a chili tasting in San Diego, hosts served Harvey Wallbangers along with a story explaining the cocktail’s origin. According to the story, all that remained of a Laguna Beach party included vodka, Galliano, and orange juice. When the party-goers left, Harvey remained, banging his head against the wall.
