Imagine the amount of numbers you'd get if you were to walk through the town centre with one in your hands

I wonder if the track has tunnels

And from me to all Hindu not mentioned, may the happy celebrations begin.

Just an extra note on this one for anyone else... This is for fireworks, not for bombing shit.

Why do some birds lay colourful eggs? From pale blue to speckled red, they come in every shade and hue. The answer, say, scientists, is that coloured eggs evolved millions of years ago in birds' ancestors, the dinosaurs. The patterns and colours may have served to camouflage eggs from predators as white eggs stand out more against darker backgrounds. Thus, the likes of Oviraptor may have sat on eggs of the darkest blue rather than plain white ones. "The dinosaur nesting world was more colourful than we thought," Dr Jasmina Wiemann of Yale University told BBC News. "We think that camouflage is one of the main drivers." The researchers detected the same two pigments that are present in colourful birds eggs in a group of dinosaurs called eumaniraptorans. Comparisons with the eggs of modern birds suggest the clawed predator Deinonychus laid a blue egg with brown blotches. The birdlike feathered Oviraptor had eggs that were a dark blue-green, like an emu. The research, published in the journal Nature, suggests that egg colour provided an evolutionary advantage to dinosaurs that had nests with exposed eggs, rather than burying them as alligators and turtles do. Modern birds inherited this ability. "We are looking at a single evolutionary origin of egg colour," said Dr Wiemann. "It seems as if egg colour co-evolved with open nesting habits, which is quite neat." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46096317

Not a movie but season 3 official trailer. Colour me interested.

When I was working as a teaching assistant in a college in the US, a gujju student wished me happy new year the day after Diwali and I gave him a blank face because I never had any gujju friends before. Thats when I knew that its the mark of new year for you guys

@Stan spotted during Diwali celebrations

Its a strange thing going on with Dave and for me its a matchday thing. Most Chelsea stand up for him in conversation and opinions, but on a Home matchday there are those who give him a hard time. As I have said before, I have no idea why. I dont think he is playing any worse than he has in the past. I would say he may have lost a little pace against speedsters, but on the whole he has been our Dave, fully dependable. Meanwhile David Luiz gets away with murder with his adventures out to the touchline and venturing further forward than Jorginho

Yup, count me in.
