Randomosity

A place for all things random.

I've been told that I can be random. I decided to embrace it, please join me.

Attila's Death
Sources differ on the exact circumstances of Attila's death, but it seems clear that he died on his wedding night. He had just married a young woman named Ildico and celebrated with great feasting. In the morning, he was found dead in his bed, having choked on his own blood. It is possible that Attila was assassinated by his new wife in a conspiracy with Marcian, rival Emperor of the East. It is also possible that he died accidentally as a result of alcohol poisoning or esophageal hemorrhage. The most probable cause, as suggested by the historian Priscus of Panium, is a burst blood vessel.

Lightning is 5 times hotter than the sun. Lighting can reach temperatures of 30,000 kelvins (53,540 degrees Fahrenheit). Compare that to the surface of the sun, 6,000 kelvins (10,340 degrees Fahrenheit).

Mud-puddling, or simply puddling, is a behaviour most conspicuous in butterflies, but occurs in other animals as well, mainly insects; they seek out nutrients in certain moist substances such as rotting plant matter, mud and carrion and they suck up the fluid. Where the conditions are suitable, conspicuous insects such as butterflies commonly form aggregations on wet soil, dung or carrion.From the fluids they obtain salts and amino acids that play various roles in their physiology, ethology and ecology.This behaviour also has been seen in some other insects, notably the leafhoppers, e.g. the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae.

Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are diverse in their strategies to gather liquid nutrients. Typically, mud-puddling behaviour takes place on wet soil. But even sweat on human skin may be attractive to butterflies such as species of Halpe. More unusual sources include blood and tears.

Artist renderings of different mental disorders

I know how to make doughnuts from scratch in mass production, but if I only wanted to make a few, I probably couldn't do it.

Those drawings are very good and expressive.
