TRIVIA
The human appendix serves absolutely no purpose, and is known as a vestigial organ - an organ made redundant by evolution. In our primordial ancestors it was used to digest cellulose. With a change in diet, this became unnecessary. However humans still need to consume cellulose (dietary fibre) regularly to keep the bowel working properly and prevent constipation. It retains water, which lubricates the gut (allowing food to move through easier) and allows digestive enzymes to work properly.
Organs become vestigial because if not necessary, those without them save energy and resources maintaining them, giving them an edge in surviving famines.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
My mind is focused completely on gratitude, the hunt for opportunities, the task in hand and my inner guidance.

There are now only eight formally recognised planets in the Solar System. In 2006 Pluto was "declassified" to the status of a "Dwarf Planet", which is defined as a spherical body of rock in direct orbit round the sun but without sufficient gravity to clear its orbital path of debris. We now know that there are several such Dwarf Planets in a region of space called the "Kuiper Belt". Pluto is not even the largest, this honour belonging to the Dwarf Planet ERIS. Pluto has three moons, Charon, Nix and Hydra.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjc2jQqQAqE
TRIVIA
Because the Earth orbits the sun every 365.25 days, every four years an extra day has to be added to the calendar (a leap year), to keep the calendar year in sync with the solar year.
From 1968 to 1971 as an experiment, instead of changing the clock twice a year, the UK government abolished GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and used just BST (British Summer Time) all year round. It proved very unpopular. Children went to school in the dark in Winter, and farmer's productivity was affected. However, road accidents decreased. The experiment was too unpopular to continue and alternate times of GMT and BST were restored.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
This moment is highly precious and I will maximise its' potential.

THIS DAY IN WW2 (20.3.40)
In Paris... Daladier, the French prime minister, is forced to resign. He has been criticized for failing to bring effective help to Finland. In France this has been seen as a way for the Allies to seize the initiative in the war and take the fighting away from French soil and, by association, avoid all the horrors of World War I.

Caffeine is the only substance classified as a drug that has no legal restrictions on its use in the UK.
In the UK It is not illegal to consume freshly picked "magic mushrooms", but it is illegal to dry them and to possess the dried mushrooms. This is because the dried mushroom is classified as a restricted refined drug and the fresh mushroom is just a wild fungus.
Some drugs are legal for anyone to possess but are legally restricted by the "intended use". For example, it's O.K. to possess and sell methadrone as a plant food, but not as a recreational drug.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
Today I will exact revenge on my attackers by being healed and happier than before

In London... Chamberlain makes a detailed statement in the Commons on British plans and actions on Finland's behalf. A 100,000-strong Anglo-French expeditionary force could not be sent due to the refusal of entry by Norway and Sweden.
