Do you know that if you weighed all the ants in the world, their total mass would be roughly equal to the weight of all the humans on earth? With over 10 quadrillion ants on the planet, these tiny creatures outnumber us a million to one. So while we are busy building cities and exploring space, the ants are quietly running their own underground empires with intricate tunnels, teamwork and even agricultural techniques. In a way, they are the unsung superheroes of the animal kingdom — small but mighty and everywhere.

The largest flower in the world emits a scent of rotting flesh. Its presence in botanical gardens is rare, and even rarer is that to bloom. However, when it does, As has happened in the Botanical Garden of the Kiel University in Germany, becomes a remarkable event. It is the Amorphophallus titanum, also known as "corpse flower" due to its foul smell of rotten meat, which has began its ephemeral flowering of just three days. This specimen has taken 15 years to to flourish, since this plant, native to the rainforests of Sumatra (Indonesia), is extremely demanding. Before flowering, It can weigh more than 40 kilograms and reach up to three meters in height. The purpose of its unpleasant aroma, which only persists during the first day of its flowering, is to attract Pollinating insects, mainly flies, who are deceived into mistaking the stench of the plant with the decomposing corpses. of its unpleasant aroma, which only persists during the first day of its flowering, is to attract Pollinating insects, mainly flies, who are deceived into mistaking the stench of the plant with the decomposing corpses.

The common phrase heard around the water cooler and the school lockers is TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday). The end of the week is such a relief and a reason to look forward to a fun weekend.

A fun fact about Friday is that the day is named after the Norse goddess Frigg (or Frigga),
associated with love, beauty, and fertility. In many languages, including English, the word for Friday comes from her name.
In other cultures, it's associated with Venus, the Roman goddess of love, which is why in Romance languages like Spanish and Italian, Friday is called "viernes" (from Venus).

The mayor had issued an ordinance banning residents from dying because the local cemetery was full and there was no land available to expand it.
