Fun Fact Friday
This isn't a mind blowing thing, but I like to slip stupid little references into my writing that I might be the only one who ever gets it.
For example: In Signs of Light and Shadow Book One, the MCs encounter a mermaid named Marina. She offhandedly describes a favourite meal from when she was human.
"I miss this one dish our neighbours used to make. A flat baked dough, topped with a tomato sauce, cheese and meats. Spices in the sauce, then it was cooked till crispy. Never learned what it was called. After years of nothing but fish, I would do anything to eat it again."
Now, if anyone can guess what I'm trying to reference here, then you get a cookie. Answer is below the break, but the tags for this post might also be a clue.
Ok.
It's a rather stupid reference to the Ninja Sex Party song Courtship of the Mermaid, wherein the singer tries to woo a mermaid using pizza. Marina is describing pizza.
The song came out some time after I'd written the chapters with Marina, but I felt compelled to go back and put in the reference.

  Did you know? The William Starr Miller House is a mansion at 1048 Fifth Avenue. Miller hired the renowned New York-based, Beaux-Arts architectural firm Carrere and Hastings to design a six-story Louis XIII style townhouse for himself and his family. Facing 86th Street, the house sat on a rusticated base, the central three bays projecting from the bulk of the structure. A high slate mansard roof with tall stone-framed dormers sat behind a limestone balustrade. William Starr Miller died in the mansion on September 14, 1935, followed by his wife nine years later.  The house was opened in November 1944 for buyers to preview the art and furnishings as preparations were made to auction off the Miller estate.  A month earlier the mansion had been sold to one of the most socially-prominent names in New York, Grace Vanderbilt, widow of Cornelius Vanderbilt III. She was accustomed to the much larger home she had at 640 Fifth Ave and referred to the Miller mansion as “the gardener’s cottage.”  Cottage or not, Mrs. Vanderbilt made the house the center of lavish entertainments, charity events and glittering balls. In the 1990s osmetics heir Ronald Lauder conceived of a museum to house his collection of German and Austrian modern art.  He partnered with his friend, art dealer Serge Sabarsky whose collection was comparable.  The two quietly purchased the Miller mansion in 1994 and initiated a four-year renovation and restoration of the structure. Architect Annabelle Selldorf was given the task of sensitively bringing the mansion back to life and creating an art museum. Today the Neue Galerie is home to paintings by such artists Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Paul Klee. The exquisite home remains remarkably intact, an elegant survivor of Upper Fifth Avenue's golden age. #funfactfriday (at Neue Galerie New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjbSK-UPlti/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The prominence of the letter "e" in English can be seen in many common words such as "the", "be", "me", "he", and "she". In fact, the letter "e" is so ubiquitous in the language that it appears in roughly one out of every eight letters in a typical English text.

  Did you know? In 1799, a prosperous merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a sleepy, scenic bend on the East River, five miles north of what was then New York City. Now, his home is one of the oldest surviving wood structures in Manhattan and the official residence of New York City’s Mayor. Financial hardship caused by the War of 1812 forced Gracie to sell his house in 1823. The property changed hands several times until, in 1896, the City of New York appropriated the estate, incorporating its eleven acres into the surrounding park that was renamed for Carl Schurz in 1910.  After years of use as a concession stand and as restrooms for the park, Gracie Mansion was restored and became the first home of the Museum of the City of New York. When the museum moved to its new building on Fifth Avenue, “power-brokering” Parks Commissioner Robert Moses convinced City authorities to designate the house as the official residence of the Mayor. In 1942, Fiorello H. La Guardia and his family moved into Gracie Mansion. #funfactfriday (at Gracie Mansion) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJWljuP5zC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh shit it's Fun Fact Friday with Moondust~!
Today's fun fact is that my second job was working at Hyvee in the Produce section! I made some good friends at that job, but most of what I enjoyed was the quiet time in the back where I didn't have to talk to people and could focus on the cleaning that I enjoyed. I recently heard Owl City's song about the fact that one of his first jobs was at Hyvee, so it's cool to think that we have something in common!

🦷 Teeth Are Not Bones 🦴
Despite their similar appearance, teeth and bones are actually quite different! Teeth are made of enamel, dentin, and pulp, while bones contain collagen, calcium, and other minerals. So next time you're pondering anatomy, remember: that teeth are unique in their own right!
