Your tongue is as unique as your fingerprints

Just as every person has unique fingerprints, each person’s tongue has its own distinct characteristics. Studies indicate that each individual’s “tongue print” is one-of-a-kind, featuring its own unique shape, size, color, and texture. Even identical twins have variations in their tongues. Some research suggests that tongue prints might serve as a valuable asset in forensic investigations. – 50 Weird Facts That Most People Don’t Know

Poetry

Beacon of Hope

Contemplating what I’ve done to endure,
I seek to inspire and uplift, for sure.


Amidst all challenges, I’ve learned to cope,
And I strive to share kindness, a beacon of hope.

Journey to Blossom

In your own time
You will blossom
to be an amazing person

In the quiet moments,
Find strength within,
Embrace the journey,
Let your story begin.

Strange Odd Fact

When someone visits Paris for the first time and finds that it doesn’t meet their high expectations, they may experience a phenomenon known as Paris Syndrome. This genuine psychological condition can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, and dizziness. Notably, it seems to impact Japanese tourists more frequently than others. The disillusionment may stem from culture shock and the contrast between reality and the idealized image of Paris often depicted in Japanese pop culture, as mentioned in “50 Weird Facts That Most People Don’t Know.”

Oh, Tootsie rolls bring me such cheer,
With flavors I hold oh so dear.

A candy that’s loved far and near!

Facing storms with strong hearts

A dentist invented the electric chair

In 1881, an unusual historical incident occurred when Alfred P. Southwick, a dentist from Buffalo, N.Y., observed a strange accident involving an intoxicated man who was electrocuted after touching a live generator terminal. This led Southwick to contemplate the possibility of using electrocution as a quicker and more humane alternative to traditional execution methods like the guillotine or hanging. He successfully collaborated with the governor of New York and state legislators, helping to pass laws for electrical executions in New York and 20 other states. –50 Weird Facts That Most People Don’t Know

Poetry

Your Uniqueness

Once a bubbly girl with a goal,
To be liked was her heart’s scroll.

Her laughter sparkled with such glee,
Yet mean girls tried to dim her spree.

She struggled hard to find her place,
But her passions set her apart with grace.

Then one day, she chose to be bold,
Accepting herself, her story told.

Soon others noticed her radiant shine,
She discovered true friends, feeling divine.

Now confident and filled with cheer,
Her uniqueness glows, so bright and clear.

So always remember, hold your view,
Your individuality is a gem that’s true!

Poetry, Three Things Challenge

Rising Above

Your three words today are:
DESTINY
DISMAL
DESPISE

Don’t despise me
because my destiny is coming true
And yours is dismal.
In shadows we stood,
but light breaks through the gray,
each step I take, a journey’s call,
a path carved in the clay.
