He had 3 legs, 4 feet, 16 toes, and two sets of genitals.

Is there a human being with three legs? Frank Lentini is here. He had 3 legs, 4 feet, 16 toes, and two sets of genitals.   Frank was born in Sicily in 1889.   His parents refused to raise him, so he was eventually placed in an orphanage.   There he learned to use his third leg.   He eventually learned to ice skate, run, jump, and ride a bicycle. He moved to the United States to work as a circus performer when he was 8 or 9 years old. At the time, freak shows were a common form of entertainment, and Frank was definitely a star. He performed in various sideshows and sold autobiographies.   He became an American citizen at the age of 30. He was married, and they had four kids. The reason for his excessive number of body parts is likely that Frank is a conjoined twin whose brother is only partially developed and lives as a "parasite."   As a result, he has almost everything duplicated from the hips down. At the time, Frank could not be surgically corrected wi...

AI on copyrighted books.

Image
I was thinking after reading this article about the legal muddle of training AI on copyrighted books. As a founder, I’ve seen how easy it is to slip into a gray area when you’re chasing speed.  The article breaks down fair use, recent court signals, and the practical licensing routes startups can take to stay on solid ground.  It’s a reminder that protecting intellectual property isn’t just a legal checkbox—it’s a strategic advantage.  The takeaway for developers is straightforward: check the data you feed your models, think about using public domain alternatives or clear licensing, and keep your legal counsel informed. Skipping these steps can cost time, money, and reputation.  What’s your approach to data sourcing in AI projects?  Have you encountered similar difficulties?   Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  binodkumarsimkhada315@gmail.com

Did you know that your brain requires only 12 watts to function?

Image
Did you know that your brain requires only 12 watts to function? That is less than a standard light bulb, yet it powers 100 billion neurons with unmatched efficiency.   When scientists attempted to build a digital twin of the human brain, they calculated it would require 2.7 billion watts.   Even though that is the entire output of a large power plant, it still moved at a slower rate than it did in real time! A typical laptop draws 150 watts, while the world's fastest supercomputer draws more than 21 million watts. While modern artificial intelligence sits well below a full brain twin, its energy footprint is skyrocketing.   Processing billions of daily prompts and training a single large language model both require a significant amount of electrical power. So, how does the human brain remain the ultimate efficiency champion?   It relies on low-precision, noisy signals and dynamically adjusts its power based on real-time demand.   True biological intelligence ...

YOUR TEETH AREN’T BONES.

Image
YOUR TEETH AREN’T BONES.  Despite their resemblance to bones, their biological makeup is quite distinct. The outer layer of your tooth—enamel—is the hardest substance in the human body.  However, enamel lacks blood vessels and cannot heal itself after being permanently damaged, unlike bone.  This indicates that while your teeth are designed to withstand tremendous forces, they are not as capable of healing as bones. Harder than bone.   Distinct from bone nicht bone.

Dogs don’t have their own court.

Image
They do not have a society, a country, or a family. An innocent, sick dog is tied with a rope.  can be transported in a bag. And will take you to the place alone.  Well, he will be rescued, but it is too late.  If you cannot bear the pain, he passes away tragically.   But in this incident, how many people spoke on behalf of the victim child? How many were needed to locate the perpetrator of such a crime? Who was watching out for that criminal? Did you take action?   Didn’t.   Why?   Because he was a human and the victim was a dog.   Now, if a dog barks at a man, what will be done? What will be done if he barks or bites?   The event becomes a sensation. And the innocent dogs will be chased away.   Will be beaten, will be killed.   Does anyone speak while chasing a dog and beating it?   Doesn’t speak.   Why?   Since humans believe it is a dog, what happens if it dies? Poor guy; they are innocent and alone. They do n...

The Milky Way Has Been Growing by Consuming Smaller Galaxies.

Image
The Milky Way Has Been Growing by Consuming Smaller Galaxies.  By absorbing smaller galaxies over billions of years, the Milky Way has grown. The Milky Way's gravity has the ability to tear apart a dwarf galaxy if it comes too close, scattering its stars into long streams and clouds around our galaxy. 🔭 Astronomers can identify these ancient mergers because the stolen stars retain unusual motions and chemical signatures.  Their routes may indicate that they came from somewhere other than the Milky Way. Gaia-Enceladus, a dwarf galaxy that merged with the young Milky Way about 8–10 billion years ago, is one of the most significant examples. Its remnants now make up a significant population of stars in the Milky Way’s stellar halo.  The process continues to this day. The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy is currently being disrupted by the Milky Way, leaving enormous streams of stars wrapped around our galaxy.  ✨ Some of the stars we see in the Milky Way may ha...

A wildlife photographer

Image
A leopard, a butterfly, and one photographer who happened to be in exactly the right place at the right time. Asim Cheema, a wildlife photographer who has won awards and is a Goodwill Ambassador for WWF-Pakistan, captured a moment that almost seems too perfect to be real. The image shows a leopard completely mesmerized by a butterfly, a quiet moment of curiosity that stands in stark contrast to the predator's usual reputation.  Cheema is known for his ability to tell stories through his images, and this one is no exception.  His work is built on years of patience, travel, and an unshakable belief in the power of visual storytelling.  He has won multiple international awards, including the HIPA awards and CAPA awards, and he has been recognized as an official Nikon creator.  His dedication to the craft has earned him a 10-year Golden Visa from the UAE government.  The image captures a rare intersection of predator and prey, not in a moment of violence, but in...

Imagine repairing a damaged human heart .

Image
Imagine repairing a damaged human heart with something inspired by a spinach leaf.   🌿 ❤ ️ Scientists discovered that after removing the plant cells from spinach leaves, the tiny vein-like structure left behind can act as a natural scaffold.  Human heart cells placed on this structure were able to attach, survive, and even contract, while the leaf’s vascular network helped move fluids through the tissue.  The breakthrough is still experimental, not yet a treatment for patients.  But it could help researchers solve one of the biggest challenges in tissue engineering: creating affordable, vascularized tissue that may one day support the repair of damaged organs.  Sometimes, the future of medicine may come from places we least expect — even from a simple leaf on our plate.     Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  binodkumarsimkhada315@gmail.com

Hiranyakashipu to protect His devotee Prahlad.

Image
This fierce and magnificent sculpture depicts Narasimha, the half-man, half-lion avatar of Bhagwan Vishnu, in the moment He defeats Hiranyakashipu to protect His devotee Prahlada. Hiranyakashipu had received a boon that he could not be killed by man or animal, inside or outside, during day or night, on earth or in the sky.  So Bhagwan appeared as Narasimha, neither man nor animal. At twilight, at the threshold, He placed Hiranyakashipu on His lap and destroyed him with His claws.  Every condition of the boon was fulfilled, yet Dharma prevailed.  This remarkable stone sculpture stands at Hanuman Dhoka, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and dates to 1673, during the reign of King Pratap Malla. Its installation is documented by an inscription on its pedestal. Tradition also connects the image with Pratap Malla’s own Narasimha dance performance and his devotion to the deity.  Look closely at the sculpture. The fierce expression and the powerful depiction of Hiranya...

Hidden for long periods without surfacing.

Image
Perfect stillness… hiding lethal patience beneath the surface. Crocodiles possess an extraordinary survival advantage: they can deliberately slow their heartbeat while underwater.  By reducing heart rate, they conserve oxygen, allowing them to remain hidden for long periods without surfacing.  This near-motionless state makes them almost invisible to prey, blending seamlessly into their surroundings.  While the water appears calm, the predator is fully alert—waiting, conserving energy, and timing every movement.  When the moment is right, the strike is sudden, powerful, and precise, proving patience can be just as deadly as speed.    Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  binodkumarsimkhada315@gmail.com
