According to this video, Animal Crossing was originally supposed to include multiplayer with players having to work together to complete dungeons and fight monsters. This was not implemented due to hardware limitations.

I can't seem to find a source for this, but if it is true, I have never been so thankful for hardware limitations. It's interesting to think how easily our favorite games could have ended up completely different.

Yep! It's a Mardi Gras tradition. I've personally never eaten a king cake, but I think if I took a bite and pulled a small plastic baby out of my mouth I'd be a bit spooked lol.

I learned that paleontologists found evidence that Ichthyosaurs had a layer of blubber like modern whales do. News came out last December. Convergent evolution is so cool!

I had heard the name Al-Jazari before, but it's only today that I really knew anything about him. It's insane what this one person was able to create despite living in the 12th century before the industrial revolution.
