Sardonic Herb

Giovani Appendino,an organic chemistry expert from Universita Degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale,Italy,discovered a kind of plant that produces a particular toxinpotion.This potion,when consumed,will put a facial expression on the dead person’s face which will make it look like it’s smiling.The plant is called Hemlock Water-Dropwort(Oenanthe Crocata)

The word Oenanthe is derived from greek ‘oinos’(wine)and ‘anthos’(flower)because the flowerof this plant has a wine like scent.This white-flower plant is the most likely candidate for the sardonic herb.Most of the species grow on damp grounds or in marshes and are found in some parts of Italy.Althougth the plant has a sweetish and pleasant taste,according to research,several of the species are very poisonous.The leaves can be eaten safely by animals,but the stems are the most poisonous part.

Giovani Appendino explained that this plant has a very high toxincontent.The particular symptom caused  by this toxinis exactly the same as it was described in ancient scripts.Homer’s Sardonic grin story became popular and inspired to write books about is phenomenon.The most poular example is Batman comic book series.In these comic book,Joker uses a toxin that can render his victims unconscious with a sinister smile plastered on their face.

Without The Love Demi Lovato

You pull my strings and push my soul

You fool my heart with every note

You drop a beat and kiss my face

You make me move then cut the base

And you work so hard to get me just to let me go

Yeah, you put me in the spotlight just to steal the show

And you try to take me home like you're DiMaggio

Oh (oh, oh) it's such a joke

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are we acting like lovers?

We don't know each other

Even though we used to rule the world

Why are you singing me love songs

What good is a love song

A love song without the love

You're so confused its getting old

You wear your ring but leave me cold

You're beautiful but cause me pain

You played my heart like it's a game

And you work so hard to get me just to let me go

Yeah, you put me in the spotlight just to steal the show

And you try to take me home like you're DiMaggio

Oh (oh, oh) it's criminal

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are we acting like lovers?

We don't know each other

Even though we used to rule the world

Why are you singing me love songs

What good is a love song

A love song without the love

This is the bend before the break

When we forget the harmony

This is how water colors fade

Into distant memories

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are we acting like lovers?

We don't know each other

Even though we used to rule the world

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

A love song without the love

(Oooooooh) Without the love

(Oooooooh) Without the love

(Oooooooh) Without the love

Dumbo Octopus

There are 18 different species of octopus within the genus Grimpoteuthis which are commonly referred to as a “Dumbo octopuses” due to their characteristic ear-like fins that make them resemble Disney’s Dumbo. These enigmatic cephalopods are a pretty rare sight since they usually dwell in deep waters ranging from 400 meters to 4,800 meters, but the few times they have been spotted has revealed that they usually eat crustaceans and worms. They’ve also been observed around deep sea hydrothermal vents, which are areas on the sea floor where hot and mineral rich fluids spew out due to volcanic activity.

Dumbo Octopus Habitat: A Deep Sea Creatures

A Dumbo Octopus is a strange aquatic animal. It lives nearly in every ocean in the world at extreme depths of from 300 - 400 meters to up to 7000 meters. It is also considered the deepest diving octopus ever. There are about 37 species of Dumbo Octopuses, but more are probably going to be discovered. It grows up to eight inches. The class of a Dumbo Octopus is Cephalopoda, its family is Opisthoteuthidae, and the genus is Grimpoteuthis. The Dumbo Octopus is named after the Walt Disney’s flying elephant character. This is because of its two ears look like fins on the octopus’ sides.

Dumbo Octopuses live just above the sea bed, and don’t move very much to conserve energy. They swim by flapping two fins on its sides, and can extend and contract its legs. When needed, a Dumbo Octopus forces water out of a funnel in order to make a quick escape. Nevertheless, they have very few predators at all.
Dumbo Octopus Body Features
Dumbo Octopuses come in many shapes and colors. They are small in comparison to other octopuses. The legs of a Dumbo Octopus are about the length of its body and are often brightly colored. The arms are connected to each other with thin flaps of skin. This helps the animal swim and to hold prey. Many describe the Dumbo Octopus to be “cute”, for its size and way of moving. They are stubby and their “heads” are large and make the Dumbo Octopuses look rather slow. They are commonly orange, but can also be red and even green. Male and female Octopuses are identified by their size and the pattern of their suction pads. It is thought that males have larger suckers than females.
Food and Diet
Unlike other octopuses, a Dumbo Octopus swallows its prey in whole, since they usually aren’t that big. It has a diet of worms, bivalves, and other small crustaceans. When they are away from the sea bed, they will often eat pelagic cope-pods, which are rather common in a Dumbo Octopus’ natural habitat. They crawl on the ocean floor and look for food. Once prey is spotted, they will swim towards them and devour them quickly. The legs of a Dumbo Octopus have small harpoon-like barbs to hold on to prey. Usually, they have plenty to eat, rarely dying of starvation.
Dumbo Octopus Reproduction
Males and females do not have a normal mating season. The female lays eggs all year round instead of just in the breeding season. The males have a large segment on one of their arms, and it transfers a sphere of sperm into the female. The eggs are fertilized inside a female and are laid individually underneath rocks and shells from time to time after copulation. The female leaves them to fend for themselves. The eggs are attached to the seabed and are quite large compared to the mature Dumbo Octopus. It is unknown how long the egg stays unhatched
