Emperor penguins, you might want to watch your back, or this caterpillar’s back in particular. Is it just us or do you also see an impressive colony of “penguins” nestled in there? Who knew a caterpillar could do this? We think there’s some important life lesson in here.
One of them is embracing your quirks! Just like this unique caterpillar proudly carries penguin companions, we ought to celebrate what makes us different. It’s a walking, waddling wonder, proving nature has a sense of humor. Happy Feet, there’s a new star in town, and yes, there’s room for all of you here!
Two Games in One
When one piece accidentally broke, it turned out that this chess set had dice inside of it. We guess that makes sense, because chess pieces are bottom-heavy, and the dice also help support the piece.
Apparently, some Chinese manufacturers recycle their old dice and put them into new chess sets. It’s nice that these dice still get a chance to play.
Top of the Torch
People could climb the stairs and visit the balcony inside the torch of the Statue of Liberty until 1916, but the staircase was damaged by an explosion and there was no access until a new one was built in 1984.
These days, tourists can only enjoy the view from the crown and due to the limitations on visitors per day, they must book tickets several months in advance. The torch, unfortunately, remains off-limits.
The Curious Case Of Lowercase
The 7-Eleven logo is an iconic symbol that has graced countless convenience stores around the world. But have you ever noticed something peculiar about this familiar emblem? If you look closely, you'll realize that only one letter dares to defy the uppercase norm - the rebellious "n." It's like that one friend who always goes against the flow just to keep things interesting. Several theories abound.
Some people say it's a subtle nod to the 24/7 operation of 7-Eleven stores. The lowercase "n" represents the wee hours of the night when everything is quiet and lowercase. Others believe that the founder’s wife thought the logo came off as harsh with all capital letters and suggested the “N” be changed to lowercase.
The Hidden 8 of Diamonds
Here, we see a great example of use in negative space. It's one of those things that might take a while to realize but once you see, you can't unsee. If you stare at this one long enough, the numeral eight begins to reveal itself in a new way.
It must have been someone very bored with a card game who figured this one out. Look at the eight diamond shapes. Then focus on the negative white space between them. Suddenly, a large figure eight in the center of the card appears. It’s a clever bit of detail, isn’t it?
