Frogs And Toads

Toads are Frogs but with additional attributes. Toads and frogs are both a part of the Anura family. They are both frogs but toads have some attributes that sets them apart, they tend to have dryer skin with bumps on it to allow them stay away from water for longer. The bumps on their skin is not warts, it is a gland that excreates oils to protect their skin from drying out.

They also have shorter legs and tend to be bigger in size. When toads lay eggs, they're usually in long strings. Sometimes it is hard to classify toads or frogs because the have attributes from the other group. 

Grokipedia Upgrade

At the end of 2025, roughly at the end of November, Grokipedia was upgraded to version 0.2. It now listens to user input and decides if they it should upgrade the articles. It also produces a lot of its own images. Xai created Grokipedia to create a product that is non biased and focused on the truth. 

This is the website for Grokipedia : https://grokipedia.com/

The xAI machine that generated Grokipedia works around the clock researching thousands of books and published reports and various other trusted documents and even videos in search of a report that shows the truth. When it is satisfied it has found the truth, it generates articles for people to search and read. 

It will be interesting to see what they do next. 

Three Hearts

Octopuses have 3 hearts, 2 hearts for the gills and one bigger heart for the rest of the body. 

Everything about the octopus anatomy is strange from our perspective. They have a small brain for every one of their arms, they have human like eyes with lenses that can focus light and the probably see the world like us. 

They also have a bigger brain that connects the smaller brains together so they have 9 brains that work in tandem. 

They are very interesting creatures. 

Did You Know : MSF

Did you know the Clock radio Signal that sets the clocks in Britain often difts off across Europe. This is because it uses a long wave frequency and can sometimes get reflected off cloud clouds or charged parts of the atmosphere.

The transmitter is located in Cumbria in the North of England but it can easily jut out across Ireland and parts of north Europe. 

The signal carries the date and time and the day of the week. All the information needed to a decent radio controlled clock.

They both come with 25 games each, all of them have 8 bit graphics although some of them were made recently as a homebrew indy project. They also both have a clam shell design and fit in your pocket. 

I found this Scottish guy that tried out all the games and gave a verdict , he goes by the YouTube alias 'Crazy Burger and gave a very comprehensive review of all the games : Pocket C64 , ZX Spectrum. 

These new systems won't take the vercade cartridges but they have a large folding screen and have 25 games preloaded.

Your Brain is surrounded by spinal fluid, a fluid that is mostly made of water. The Brain floats in this fluid and is surrounded by it so there is reduced pressure on the base of the brain.  The fluid surrounds the brain and the spine and helps to absorb shocks and to
