Ask me nicely and I might give you a surprising answer!!! 
No, please don’t, I would rather not reveal such information (and possibly lies…but possibly not lies after all) about myself!

White skin is younger than agriculture revolution.
The white color of european human skin is less than 10,000 years old. Today we know that 8500 years ago, most of the humans in europe still had black skin. They lacked versions of two genes—SLC24A5 and SLC45A2—that lead to depigmentation and, therefore, pale skin in Europeans today. So, we can say that white skin is younger than agriculture revolution.
Blue eyes are older than white skin.
Yes, you read that right, the blue eyes in humans are older than white skin color. Researchers extracted hunter gatherer dubbed La Brana 1 DNA, unearthed from the north-west of Spain. They came to know that, this person had black skin yet blue eyes.

Fenhe Railway Viaduct in China:
8km long, up to 85m high… and that ‘only’ for about 10 freight trains a day… but these are fully loaded with coal. Through this viaduct the trains manage to get from the mountains on one side of the wide area to the mountains on the other side without any gradient

What’s supposed to happen when you (we) “use your (our) finger to cover the middle line”?

Interesting that for me, when I put my finger(s) in the middle, I didn’t get that effect at all. It only became apparent after seeing your animation (thank you for that by the way).

Well I put it where the onscreen instruction told me to put it but honestly, it made no difference (whatsoever) to what I was seeing!

The adactylidium is a very small mite with what I (not me) would call the weirdest life cycle on the planet.
A female adactylidium is pregnant with about five to eight females and only one male. The pregnant female adactylidium lives its whole four-day life on one meal. Once it has eaten, the offspring in her body become aroused, leading the single male offspring to mate with all of his sisters. After the male adactylidium impregnates his sisters in his m____r’s body, they leave their m____r’s body.
The way they do this isn’t via birth or egg hatching, as is common in most arachnids. Being the sophisticated arachnids they are, they eat their m____r from the inside-out, devouring their way to freedom. The single male adactlyidium, having completed his sole purpose in life (impregnating his sisters), dies within a few minutes. The impregnated females look for their first and only meal, which will commence the start of the life cycle again.
