Don't use the mild weather in the middle of January to justify leaving the house without a jacket.

It turns out that many of us are mistaken on even the most fundamental panther facts. We have a tendency to believe that a panther is a whole other species of the huge animal. However, depending on where you live, when we talk about panther information, we typically mean jaguar or leopard facts.

Melanism is the formation of melanin, a dark-colored pigment in the skin, and this colour variety typically indicates that the cat is black or dark brown.

Klecksography—the technique of creating pictures using inkblots—was a popular children's game in the late nineteenth century. In general, the game entailed pouring ink onto paper, flipping it over, and seeing what pictures appeared. Rorschach, who worked in a Swiss asylum, wondered if patients might read these inkblots differently based on pathology, and he had some success with this. That prompted him to start employing his own custom-made, abstract, symmetrical drawings to elicit mental responses from his participants. Rorschach felt that by doing so, he could delve deeper into a patient's psyche than written psychological exams permitted.

Banquo, like the other characters in Shakespeare's Macbeth, is based on a real person. King James I (James VI of Scotland) claimed his ancestry could be traced back to Banquo, a friend of the real Macbeth, via the Stuart dynasty.

This is why you need a vision board to guide you through the tornado of daily life.

Blackbeard (AKA Edward Teach) was the most feared pirate in the world. He would weave hemp into his beard and light it on fire before boarding a ship, giving him a demonic appearance. Yikes! That would frighten us as well.

A flounder is a fish of the families Achiropsettidae, Pleuronectidae, Paralichthyidae, and Bothidae. Flounders are born with eyes on both sides of their heads, but as they get older, one eye migrates to the other side of the body. This gives them a flattened look, which aids in their concealment on the sea floor. Flounders are found in both fresh and salt water habitats and can grow to be more than three feet long.
