Benjamin Franklin invented the glass harmonica, an instrument that mechanizes the process of playing notes on the rims of wine glasses. The ‘armonica’ uses bowls on a rotating spindle, which produces a haunting sound when touched with moistened fingers. 

Both Mozart and Beethoven composed music for it.

The world’s deepest, darkest, oldest, and quietest motel room is 220 feet underground, at Grand Canyon Caverns, in a 65-million-year-old cave. 

The largest, oldest, deepest, darkest, quietest, driest motel room in the world:

Largest: 200 feet by 400 feet with 70-foot ceiling Oldest: Caverns and walls over 65 million years old Deepest: 220 feet below the surfaces, accessed by elevator Darkest: absent of any light Quietest: the only sound is your heart beating and your breath. You are the only living thing in the caverns… The only living thing Driest: zero humidity, nothing lives in the caverns, not a fly, not bat, nothing!

The devil’s fingers fungus begins life inside of a sac, so this is what they look like before they’ve fully matured. 

They secrete a smelly, sticky ooze to attract flies so they will become covered in it and disperse their demon spores.

On the drive to Fairview Cemetery in the Boston neighborhood of Hyde Park, six seniors from Roxbury Latin boys’ school sit in silent reflection. Mike Pojman, the school’s assistant headmaster and senior adviser, says the trip is a massive contrast to the rest of their school day, and to their lives as a whole right now.

Today the teens have volunteered to be pallbearers for a man who died alone in September, and for whom no next of kin was found. He’s being buried in a grave with no tombstone, in a city cemetery.

“To reflect on the fact that there are people, like this gentleman, who probably knew hundreds or thousands of people through his life, and at the end of it there’s nobody there — I think that gets to all of them,” Pojman says. “Some have said, ‘I just gotta make sure that never happens to me.’”
