Fact: Pollination

May 24th 2007 07:38


In order for seeds to develop, a flower has to be pollinated. Pollen from the stamens of a flower of the same species must stick to the plant's stigma (a part of the pistil). In self-pollination, a flower is pollinated by its own pollen or that of another flower on the same plant. Plants that depend on moths for pollination tend to be white or pale yellow so they can be seen better when the light is dim, whereas plants that are pollinated by butterflies tend to have more colorful flowers. Plants that are pollinated by bats usually bloom at night. Bumblebees need to maintain a high body temperature, so they use warmth to determine which flowers they pollinate. They can tell the flower's temperature by its color

Fact: Word games

May 23rd 2007 07:44

Playing with words is a distinctly human activity. It lets us learn while having fun, and is a humbler and more approachable way to be creative than writing the Great American Novel. We make new sense or nonsense by playing with the basic elements of our language - noticing similarities between different words, finding double meanings in the same word, and using words as the raw material for innumerable games. Words are pulled to pieces and rearranged in anagrams and palindromes, or linked together in diagrams or patterns such as acrostics, crosswords, Scrabble, and word squares. Some games play with individual letters (as in chronograms and beheadments), their shape (concrete poetry), or sound (rebuses and tongue-twisters). Other games, such as charades and hangman, involve guessing.

Imagine simple questions like this would give you quite an idea how you are, and sometimes without such questions, you just forgot who you are at times and what others see in you
