Guess what my friends? Crystallizing has two l's! Guess when I learned it? After I created 4 graphics with the wrong spelling and almost hit publish! #VSNF

Today's tragic tale - I have no summer squash this year - because of rain, & weird temps & squash bugs & blossom rot, I've gotten only one & I don't know what to do all August & September now because I don't have 100 zucchini to try & cook & bake with. #vsnf

@EdHaiku575 I directed a local production of R.U.R. once, although it didn't open. Here's my #vsnf (very short nonfiction) on it: https://t.co/NLePllyenc

The word #robot comes from Karel Čapek Czech play R.U.R. which opened in 1921. The word basically means "worker" & there are moral issues about robots working for humans. However, these robots are not metal, but are synthetics (and can be mistaken for humans) @vsnf

If you see a cat's tail #lash back & forth quickly, it's time to step back: it usually means the cat is agitated. If the tail moves slowly back & forth, it suggests focus. The cat's tail is different in different jumps, so it's part of the decision making process #vsnf #vss365

#Lash Larue was a Western movie star who used a bullwhip (sometimes two) instead of a gun. The actor taught Harrison Ford how to use a bullwhip for Indiana Jones. https://t.co/LdBCCnLl19 #vsnf #vss365

Pioneering song parodist Allan Sherman ("Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah") wrote a parody of (You Gotta Have) Heart called (You Gotta Have) #Skin. 🎶 Skin is what you feel at home in And without it, furthermore Both your liver & abdomen Would keep falling on the floor" #vsnf #vss365

The Venus Fly Trap is the most famous #carnivorous plant in North America. It is only naturally found within about 120km (75m) of Wilmington, NC. It is considered vulnerable to extinction. Fire suppresion may be an issue: it does well & fire cuts back competitors #vss365 #vsnf

Why don't Americans spell #favourite with a "u"? Webster wasn't recording what he saw or just simplifying spelling. It was a deliberate political statement, separating Yanks from Brits, similar to neologisms & redefinitions social movements use now #vss365 #vsnf

Old Time Radio listeners may have found something #familiar in the Star Trek episode For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky: the May 15th 1955 episode of X Minus One featured a similar story based on a Robert A. Heinlein story (Universe). #vss365 #vsnf

Here is Elf, 1 of our dogs. She was a #stray, & I always say her survival skill was walking up to people looking cute. 😉 When we 1st got her, we were walking by a Starbucks. Elf: "We have to go there, tha'ts where the food is!" She almost jumped in someone's lap #vss365 #vsnf

I have taught the use of humor & the key thing is laughter is a signal that there is apparent danger but no real danger. When a #joke offends, it is usually because you have underestimated the reality of the danger to the audience #vss365 #vsnf

Morgan Robertson's book, Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan, eerily #predicted the loss of the Titanic 14 years later. Many details are similar, although Robertson suggested it was just because he was knowledgeable of shipping trends https://t.co/sSJoHG3w3x | #vsnf

The platypus is strange in a lot of ways (some people initially thought it was a fake), but you may not know that males have a venomous #sting. They have a spur connected to a venom gland. It may relate to mating. It's supposed to be painful but not deadly #vss365a #vsnf

The starting point for the Universal Monsters #epoch (at least as far as sound goes), was February 14, 1931. It was based on a successful play & brought its star, Lugosi, to the screen. Frankenstein followed in November...and it really continued into the 1950s #vsnf #vss365a

While people today run marathons to show their good #health, it's worth noting that in the original legend which inspired the Olympic event, the soldier who ran the 26.2 miles (one path from Marathon to Athens) to announce a victory died doing it! #vsnf

Hi-yo, #Silver! The Lone Ranger has a very detailed history. The mask? Cut from his dead bother's vest...some say the eyeholes were bullet holes from the ambush which killed five Texas Rangers & left 1 "lone ranger" barely alive (nursed back to health by Tonto) #vsnf #vss365

On this anniversary of the sighting that popularized the term "flying saucer", it's worth noting the evolution from the #Cosmic Bus theory (that physical aliens got into physical spaceships & flew here from other planets) to a wide variety of other ideas #vss365 #vsnf
