What Is It About Bees And Hexagons? : NPR | Päivät | Scoop.it
Bees could build flat honeycombs from just three shapes: squares, triangles or hexagons. But for some reason, bees choose hexagons. Always "perfect" hexagons. Why?

The Flying Monkeys of Burlington

The Flying Monkeys of Burlington | Päivät | Scoop.it

Even though Burlington is the largest city in the US state of Vermont, its population numbers just over 40,000 souls.  Yet every place needs its guardians and protectors and Burlington has its very own to defend and preserve the population.  The fact that they are winged monkeys conceivably raises few eyebrows in the town: for visitors these primates with plumage are a source of surprise and delight.

If F Scott Fitzgerald was One of America’s Greatest Novelists, Why is he Buried Here? | Päivät | Scoop.it

Office buildings and apartment blocks surround the Catholic cemetery in Rockville, Maryland.  Among those interred here is a man whose novels are still read and adored by millions.  Yet you might miss the name on this unremarkable grave, were it not for the occasional bottles and coins that are placed there by visitors.  These additions are the only thing that would otherwise draw the eye to the inconspicuous gravestone of F Scott Fitzgerald.
