Things I learned lately 23 Jun

• There are no bridges spanning the Amazon River.
• The city of Brasilia was founded in 1960. It is now home to roughly 4.3 million people (metro area).
• A service dog, while working, needs to be left alone. No barking or petting or talking to them. It distracts them and they just want to work and be left alone.
• Although service dogs don't look like they're having a good time, they are working and get to be like normal dogs and play once work is over.
• Had George Lucas kept the Star Wars franchise, the last 3 movies (episodes 7-9) would have been about the microbiol creatures the Whills, who feed off the Force and use the midi-chlorians to control the people. In other words, people who are 'strong with the force' are just folks who are being controlled more by (and are vehicles for) the Whills.
• Most stars like our sun are born as twin stars. Astronomers want to know what happened to our probable twin.
