Gerontocracy (n.) - a state, society or group governed by old people; government by old people

Parenthesis (n.) - ​a word, sentence, etc. that is added to a speech or piece of writing, especially in order to give extra information. In writing, it is separated from the rest of the text using brackets, commas or dashes

Perjury (n.) - the crime of telling a lie in court after you have sworn to tell the truth

What shocked me most about the witnesses of the attack on me is that they bravely committed perjury by lying about my experience. This surprised me because they helped me during the actual event. I found out later that the culprit was influential and had bribed them with money.

Pilferer (n.) - a person who steals things of little value or in small quantities, especially from the place where they work

While everyone at work pretended not to notice, it was no secret that our coworker Barbara was an avid pilferer of any extra envelopes she found on others' tables.

The Unrevealed Facts of The Antarctica

Welcome to the wild world of Antarctica! This icy kingdom, found at the very bottom of our planet, is not just about snow and penguins. It is a treasure chest bursting with secret wonders and surprises! Let's take a snowy slide into the magical world of Antarctica!

First off, did you know that Antarctica is the driest place on Earth? Yes, even drier than a desert! The majority of it is covered by a huge ice sheet, and it hardly ever rains or snows there. This makes the Dry Valleys, parts of Antarctica with no ice at all, the driest spots in the world!

Another cool fact - it's home to a massive mountain range called the Gamburtsev Mountains, which are as tall as the Alps. But guess what? You can't see them! They are buried under two miles of ice.

This ice is also a time machine! Scientists drill into it to get ice cores, like very cold cylinders, which have layers that tell us what the world was like hundreds of thousands of years ago!

Moreover, Antarctica is a haven for meteorites. Meteorites are bits of rock that have fallen from space. Because the ice in Antarctica is so clean, it's easier to spot them.

Plus, don’t think it’s a lonely place. It's brimming with life. From adorable penguins to mighty whales and from tiny krill to hardy bacteria, Antarctica buzzes with life.

So next time you think of Antarctica, remember it's not just an icy wilderness, it's a world full of mysteries waiting to be discovered!
