But unlike the old-school method of just dropping some quarters into the machine, there are a dozen slightly different ways to pay so you can finally go on with your day. One of the methods is to scan the QR code, which will take you to a website where you can make it happen. But you may want to look closely at that pixelated little graphic the next time you’re going through this obnoxious dance.

Mongooses deployed on a small Japanese island to cull a population of venomous snakes have themselves been culled by the state, after the mammals insisted on eating the local endangered rabbits.

Your dog may not only really love its favorite chew toy. He or she may also be able to remember its name, even without getting a chance to pounce on it for two years. A new study, although highly limited, shows that a dog’s ability to retain cognitive labels for objects is greater than we give them credit for. It could actually put dogs on the same level of a small child whose verbal abilities have begun to develop, the scientists say.

Dogs May Remember Their Toys’ Names Even Years Later

Relics examined by anthropologists reveal that, compared to their Norwegian counterparts, Vikings in modern-day Denmark were relatively peaceful, owning fewer weapons and using them less frequently than their southern neighbors.

When your temper flares are you a raging bull? A vicious Virgo or a conniving Capricorn? Emotions are complex states that involve physiological, behavioral, and cognitive changes. They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.
