Hilarious History
Hello lovelies! I hope you are well and doing your best as always! If you didn't already know, I LOVE history. I've seen every documentary going from Suffragettes with Lucy Wolsey to Mary Beards' Why did the Roman Empire Collapse? I'm also not ashamed to admit that I have an unhealthy addiction for re-watching period dramas like The Last Kingdom or docu-dramas like Mehmed VS. Vlad in the Ottoman Empire series.

Los Alamos - Oppenheimer's Secret City
P.O. Box 1663 "I have now become death, the destroyer of worlds,", a seemingly innocuous address in Santa Fe, New Mexico, held a clandestine secret in 1943. Over the next few years, approximately 300 newborns had their birthplace listed as this mysterious location on their birth certificates. The truth was that the real location was kept under wraps, shrouded in secrecy. All correspondence sent to this P.O. box was redirected to a site 33 miles away from Santa Fe, known by various names such as P.O. Box 180, Project Y, and Los Alamos, New Mexico. A covert city had been erected there, housing a community of scientists from different nations. These were the very scientists who had created the first nuclear bomb, a couple of hundred miles away from the site where their invention would be tested - the New Mexico desert, Trinity.

The Legend of Enkai. Content Warning.
In the land of Kenya, where the vast savannahs meet the endless horizons, there existed a time when the world was veiled in eternal darkness. The sun, moon, and stars were hidden from the people, and they lived in fear and despair. The animals roamed aimlessly without the guidance of daylight, and the plants struggled to grow without the nourishing touch of the sun's rays.

Color Pattern Names
If I were to present to you a paint chip and inquire about its color, what would be your response? Similarly, what about this one? And this one? Presumably, you would identify them as blue, purple, and brown, respectively. However, if your mother tongue is Wobé from Côte d’Ivoire, you would likely employ a single term for all three. This discrepancy arises from the fact that not all languages possess the same number of fundamental color categories. While English has 11, Russian has 12, and certain languages, such as Wobé, only have 3. Researchers have discovered that if a language has only 3 or 4 basic colors, they can typically anticipate what those colors will be. How do they accomplish this feat?
