My mom was music teacher at a primary school and the one answer she got on a worksheet from a kid was “A man in grass” she was very puzzled by it until she realised they were talking about “Amazing Grace”!

  1. Viruses are not alive: They do not have cells, they cannot turn food into energy, and without a host they are just inert packets of chemicals.

  2. Viruses are not exactly dead, either: They have genes, they reproduce, and they evolve through natural selection.

Did you know that the “ISO” setting in modern digital cameras is used to set the relationship between exposure and output image lightness in digital cameras.

It actually comes from a concept in old film cameras where the ISO was the “speed” of the film you used. The higher the ISO number, the faster the action you can photograph and the less light you need (i.e. low-light shots) but at the cost of some quality in the form of “graininess”.

According to Wikipedia: “Film speed is the measure of a photographic film’s sensitivity to light”

I wonder if it could contribute to and explain some of the déjà vu phenomenon too.
