I'm glad modern car washes use synthetic baleen, instead of harvesting it from whales like 1800s car washes did.
Since when did astronomers use miles and hours as units in the first place? Weird.

I adopted a cat that weighs 12 solar masses. Laser pointers love chasing it.

Wait, really? Hairy balloon static is still a mystery? It's exciting to know that such everyday stuff still has an opening for breakthroughs!
