Day
5?
1.)
The
Soul Evans x Maka Albarn pairing is probably one of the most subtle and sweet
pairings I’ve ever seen in a shounen manga.
2.)
The
chamois is a goat-antelope indigenous to Europe.
3.)
In
the body of Ötzi the Iceman, they found intact red blood cells. These are the
oldest red blood cells every found, dated around 5000 years old. It has also
been determined that he had a much higher degree of Neanderthal DNA than modern
Europeans.
4.)
Interestingly,
tattoos have been around for centuries. Romans used them to mark slaves and
soldiers. Some tribal societies used them to mark men and women for their deeds
or other cultural significance. There are also cultural taboos against
tattooing. Japan is renowned for having one of the most beautiful tattooing techniques,
but tattoos are highly associated with the Yakuza, so people with visible tattoos
are frequently banned from public places like bathhouses or pools.
5.)
To
build off of number one – the subtlety is completely lost on a Western audience
due to the lack of significance in holding hands. In Japan, you almost never
hold hands in public. A lot of people find it really embarrassing. Even in
airports, couples almost never hug and definitely won’t kiss each other
goodbye. In Soul Eater, especially in the last 20 chapters, there is a lot of largely
unexplained handholding. The author writes in a weak excuse, but there is
definitely an ulterior motive there.
6.)
The
Icelandic word for dragon is dreki.
7.)
It’s
impossible for me to return home for Christmas. Well…not impossible, but
financially challenging.
8.)
The
Voyager 1 is a spacecraft that was launched for research purposes in 1977. It
recently sent back data that it still hasn’t reached the edge of our solar
system. That means that the solar system is bigger than we thought.
9.)
After
watching Aladdin for the first time in over 15 years, I have come to the
conclusion that my boyfriend is very similar to Aladdin. In looks and
goofiness.
10.) I
have the best boyfriend ever. I know it sounds nuts, but he’s so determined to
try to get me home…<3 o:p="o:p">
