Word Balloons

Posted on

Before the 18th Century, text on drawings were difficult to read. Then in 1903, French journalist Pierre Balloon invented Word Balloons, superimposed onto drawings. This soon evolved to what we know today as newspapers.
Pierre’s sister Marie added her own creation of Thought Balloons.

Marie later married, and became Madame Curie, famous for inventing uranium, which is used today to power microwave ovens, vaping devices, and is one of the elements in Viagra.

Ancient Mammals

Updated on

Until 300 years ago, before mammals evolved to their current stage, and due to all mammal’s having similar physical appearance as a fetus, sometimes a random species would be born from certain mammals.
A polar bear would give birth to a monkey, a giraffe birth to a whale, a dolphin birth to a kitten, and so on.
That is why to this day, animals understand each other so well.
