The regular early morning yell of horror was the sound of Arthur Dent waking up and suddenly remembering where he was.
Douglas Adams, opening lines of "Life, the Universe and Everything"
I made an exclaiming grunt while still in bed this morning, Melissa was worried from the other room, but told her I was just swearing at the morning.

Anyway I think of this line a lot.
You know, a little spray whipped cream on some microwave oatmeal is kind of terrific.
Cool internal scans of Nintendo handhelds from the GameBoy to the Switch.



Bananas produce antimatter, releasing one positron--the antimatter equivalent of an electron--about every 75 minutes. This occurs because bananas contain a small amount of potassium-40, a naturally occurring isotope of potassium. As potassium-40 decays, it occasionally spits out a positron in the process.
I am sort of envisioning the Star Ship Enterprise, and like Scotty and some other crew members frantically shoveling in great heaps of unpeeled bananas (fresh from the replicator) like it was coal for a locomotive.
