be careful with eating seeds

A Russian man was diagnosed with cancer, and had to undergo an operation which revealed he had no cancer but… a 5 centimeter FIR TREE growing in his lung.
If you do not believe trees can grow on lungs, read more here.

dust bunnies



Dust bunnies are small clumps of dust that form under furniture and in corners that are not cleaned regularly. They are made of hair, lint, dead skin, dust, and sometimes light rubbish and debris, and are held together by static electricity and felt-like-entanglement. In some regions of Britain, dust bunnies are sometimes called 'beggar's velvet'.

glory


A glory is an optical phenomenon appearing much like an iconic Saint's halo about the head of the observer which is produced by light backscattered (a combination of diffraction, reflection and refraction) towards its source by a cloud of uniformly-sized water droplets. The association with a halo is not coincidental, but derivative, though a real glory has multiple colored rings.

The angular size is much smaller than a rainbow, about 5° to 20°, depending on the size of the droplets. Since it is seen in the direction opposite the sun, it is most commonly observed while airborne, with the glory surrounding the airplane's shadow on clouds (this is often called The Glory of the Pilot). The phenomenon is also known as an anthelion.

(so says wikipedia. I just call it a round rainbow.)
