There are monuments to women you've never heard of scattered around the world. In Greece, you'll find a monument to a village of women and children who committed suicide rather than be captured by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.

Learn about these and more at Web Urbanist. Pictured is the Vrouemonument in South Africa, dedicated to the 27,000 women who died in British camps during the Boer War. Link -via Look At This

Octopuses Play with Rubik's Cubes

A couple of dozen octopuses at aquariums around Europe have been given Rubik's cubes to play with. It's not to find out of they can solve them (although it would be SO cool if they did), but to see if the animals favor one arm (or two) over the others. Visitors will be asked to observe which arm they use when playing with the puzzles. The results will be used for research, but also to make the octopuses' lives easier and more enriched.

Who Played (Doctor) Who?


Doctor Who fans will get a kick out of today's Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss.
In the 45-year history of the BBC science-fiction series Doctor Who, ten different actors have played The Doctor (not counting movies, one-off charity specials, stage shows or audio dramas). Can you name all ten before time runs out?

You have three minutes. I didn't even attempt this, since I don't know the answers. You will, no doubt, do better. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/16282

Line Forms for 3G iPhone

Who are these people eating apples at the Apple Store in the Big Apple? A week before the product is available, a line began forming Friday for the new 3G iPhone at the Apple Store in Manhattan. Who would stand (or sit) in line that long? It's not so much Apple fanboys. Ten people from the group Waiting For Apples began the line, but after a rainy night, only five are left. Their goal is -get this- to set a record for waiting in line. Link
