SNL premiered as I was going into my senior year in high school. Later that fall, my family was contacted about doing a Nielson rating week. We had two TV sets, so they gave us two diaries to keep. No one ever watched the old black and white set, but it had its own diary. I made it a point to be home by 11:30 that Saturday night so that diary could have one show on it.
I don't even recall the title of my only published science paper (it's been a loooong time), but I'm sure it was very boring, because my advisor dictated it.
According to Wikipedia, "Turtle (also called American Turtle) was the world's first submersible vessel with a documented record of use in combat." It could be called the first, with qualifiers. We don't know so much about the submarine from 1620.
I once bought a house that had a cement pond. I stocked it with goldfish from the bait shop, and that pond became a snack bar for egrets. I liked the egrets, though.
Very much so, and often already on hand, while paint has to be purchased for the purpose. Back when I carried a lot of keys, I used nail polish of various colors to distinguish them.
So I went to the Drive to see why the species name is sisyphus, the mythical character doomed to repeat a pointless task every day. It's all about spider sex, and it's pretty grim. "But since they lack nerves, they can be difficult to position..." And sex can lead to cannibalism. That seems pretty pointless. And now I feel sorry for a spider.
