Because they generate sound through lip vibration, instruments like conch shells and shofars (made of hollowed-out animal horns) are still regarded as brass.

Despite being primarily made of brass, other traditional brass instruments like trumpets and trombones may also contain some copper or other metals.

Akira, a highly praised film, was also a significant technological success for the Japanese animation industry. It had 2,212 shots and 160,000 single images. This is around 2-3 times the cost of the average anime film. The majority of the film's scenes were planned to take place at night, which was normally avoided by animators during those days due to such sequences needing exceptionally high colour utilisation and that too with tremendous precision to make the picture seem pleasant. Akira defied all expectations by employing an incredible 327 hues throughout the picture, 50 of which were produced specifically for the film and its scene needs.

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.

According to critics, the scoring system and parsing replies are as subjective to the psychologist as they are to the patient, and it is pseudoscience. A meta-analysis of available data conducted in 2000 revealed that "the vast majority of [Rorschach] indices are not empirically validated." Others see objective evidence in a more refined scoring system for answers originally used in the 1970s and regard the exam as useful in understanding how individuals communicate their impressions—while not diagnostic, it may be helpful.

If you already knew everything about butterflies up to this point, this information may come as a surprise. However, from the perspective of the butterfly, it isn't all that unusual.
