Octopuses have three hearts.

Two hearts pump blood to the gills of the octopus while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Additionally, octopus blood is blue because it contains a copper-rich protein called hemocyanin, which is more efficient than hemoglobin at transporting oxygen in cold, low-oxygen environments.

Did you know that in 2023, scientists made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of quantum computing?

A team at Google developed a quantum computer called Sycamore, which achieved "quantum supremacy" by performing a complex calculation in just 200 seconds that would take the fastest classical supercomputer approximately 10,000 years to complete. This milestone marks a significant step forward in the development of quantum technology, potentially revolutionizing fields like cryptography, materials science, and artificial intelligence.

Did you know that in 1930, a man named Harry Randall Truman became a local legend for his stubborn refusal to evacuate during the eruption of Mount St. Helens? Truman, who owned a lodge at Spirit Lake, had lived there for more than 50 years and felt a deep connection to the land. Despite repeated warnings and the increasing danger, he famously declared that he wouldn’t leave, saying the mountain wouldn’t dare hurt him. Tragically, when Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, the massive blast obliterated the area, including Truman’s lodge, and he perished.
