The creator of the Frisbee literally became a Frisbee after he died. Following their deaths, both Walter Frederick "Fred" Morrison (the original inventor) and Edward "Steady Ed" Headrick (the inventor of the modern, aerodynamic Frisbee) had their cremated ashes mixed into the plastic formula to create commemorative flying discs.

In 1948, Morrison invented the first plastic flying disc—originally called the "Flyin' Saucer" and later the "Pluto Platter"—before selling the design to the toy company Wham-O, which renamed it the Frisbee.

His Memorial: When Morrison passed away in February 2010 at the age of 90, his family honored his wishes by molding a portion of his cremated remains into a limited batch of genuine Frisbees to distribute to loved ones.

As an executive at Wham-O, Headrick patented the modern Frisbee design in 1967 by adding raised, aerodynamic ridges (called "Lines") that stabilized its flight. He also invented the sport of disc golf.

His Memorial: When Headrick passed away in 2002, he famously requested that his ashes be molded into a special run of memorial flying discs. His son noted that Headrick joked about wanting to "live on as a Frisbee," hoping people would throw him around. Some of these discs were given to friends, while others were sold to fund the "Steady" Ed Memorial Disc Golf Museum.

The practice of eating the placenta after birth is known as "Placentophagy". While it has gained popularity through celebrity endorsements and social media.

Advocates believe that re-ingesting the placenta can help with various postpartum challenges, like preventing postpartum depression, boosting energy and iron, increasing milk supply and pain relief.

While some individuals do cook the organ directly into standard meals like tacos or lasagna, the vast majority of people do not eat it like a typical meat dish. Instead, the most common method is placenta encapsulation, where the organ is steamed, dehydrated, ground into a fine powder, and placed into vitamin capsules to be swallowed daily. Other people blend small pieces of the raw organ into fruit smoothies, while some choose to slice and pan-fry it much like traditional organ meat.

Though these claims are largely anecdotal and not supported by rigorous scientific evidence. Despite its popularity in certain wellness communities, major medical organizations-including the Mayo Clinic and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-strongly discourage cooking or consuming the placenta due to significant health concerns.

Light takes time to travel. Light reflects off your face, travels to the mirror, then bounces back to your eyes. This process happens at the speed of light, but still takes a fraction of a second to reach you. The further away a mirror is the further back in time you are seeing yourself.

Giant pandas are famous for their bold black-and-white look. Those dark circles around their eyes are like nature’s logo. So when one shows up looking like it forgot to “put on makeup,” the internet loses its mind.

This rare panda has unusually light markings, making his face look soft, bright, and almost cartoonishly cute. Some people say he looks like a plush toy. Others say he looks permanently surprised. Either way, he stands out instantly.

Here’s the science twist. That classic panda pattern is controlled by genetics, specifically how pigment cells develop in different parts of the body. Sometimes, tiny genetic variations can reduce or alter those dark patches. It is rare, but not impossible.

And those black circles are not just for style. Scientists believe they help pandas recognize each other or even communicate mood. So seeing one without them feels like seeing a celebrity without their signature look.
