Oxford University is home to a battery-
powered bell that’s been continuously
ringing since 1840. Nobody knows what
the battery is made of and no one wants
to risk taking it apart to find out. We’ll
never know for sure until it someday
stops working, making it the world’s
longest-running science experiment. SourceSource 2
The king ordered the experiment to be conducted using two identical twins. Both of the twins had been tried for the crimes they had committed and condemned to death. Their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment on the condition that one of the twins drank three pots of coffee, and the other drank the same amount of tea, every day for the rest of their lives.
Two physicians were appointed to supervise the experiment and report its finding to the king. Unfortunately, both doctors died, presumably of natural causes, before the experiment was completed. Gustav III, who was assassinated in 1792, also died before seeing the final results. Of the twins, the tea drinker was the first to die, at age 83; the date of death of the surviving coffee drinker is unknown.
A giant helium balloon bearing the face of an ojisan (middle-aged man) appeared in the sky in Utsunomiya on Sunday, in an event organized by the Utsunomiya Museum of Art to bring artwork to the public outside museums.
The balloon measures 15 meters in diameter and features the face of a man who lives in the city. The man was selected from 218 applicants.
“Pluto is a very interesting dog. His breed is a mystery - it’s anyone’s guess how this face got with this short, chubby body. His breathing is kind of pug-like, sounding like a pig when he chases after you!”
