#Starfish Are #Not Actual #Fish - Like sand dollars and sea urchins, starfish do not have backbones, which means they’re invertebrates.

Not All Starfish Are Star-Shaped - The crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci), for example, is reported to have up to 21 arms. Likewise, sunstars—starfish aptly named for their resemblance to the sun—have about 12 arms.

They Can Regenerate Lost Limbs - Starfish have the ability to regenerate lost limbs in cases of injury—for example, if they are hit by a rock from crashing tides. In fact, starfish are able to regrow an entire body from just one arm and at least one-fifth of their central disk.

They Don't Have Any Blood - Rather than blood coursing through their veins, starfish have a water vascular system—canals that pump seawater throughout the starfish’s body.

Starfish Are Carnivores - These innocent-looking creatures don’t just feast on algae and plants. Starfish are known to feed on creatures like injured fish, oysters, mussels, clams, and sand dollars.
Starfish Digest Outside Their Bodies - Once they have opened their food, they extend their stomach outside of their mouth and envelop their prey with their stomach.

#Revati #Nakshatra: #Mahua is the appropriate #tree for those whose Nakshatra is Revati. On Purnima, people must offer sweet Imarti to this tree to obtain the blessing. Natives should not, however, plant Mahua in their homes as it could bring bad luck and unfavourable energy into their life

As per #VedicAstrology, the ruling planet for Revati Nakshatra is Planet #Mercury. It looks like a Drum or pair of #fish. The Hindu deity for this Nakshatra is #Pushan. The gender of this star is female. If you belong to Revati constellation, check out predictions related to it such as characteristics, personality and traits, education and income, family life, and much more.

BRIEF REFLECTION ON KILLING THE CHRISTMAS CARP

You take a kitchen-mallet
and a knife
and hit
the right spot, so it doesn’t jerk, for
jerking means only complications and reduces profit.
And the watchers already narrow their eyes, already admire the

dexterity,
already reach for their purses. And paper is ready
for wrapping it up. And smoke rises from chimneys.
And Christmas peers from windows, creeps along the ground
and splashes in barrels.
Such is the law of happiness.
I am just wondering if the carp is the right creature.
A far better creature surely would be one
which—stretched out—held flat—pinned down—
would turn its blue eye
on the mallet, the knife, the purse, the paper,
the watchers and the chimneys
and Christmas,
And quickly
say something. For instance
These are my happiest days; these are my golden days.
Or
The starry sky above me and the moral law within me,
Or

And yet it moves.
Or at least
Hallelujah!

BREVE RIFLESSIONE SULL'UCCISIONE DELLA CARPA NATALIZIA

Prendi un mazzuolo da cucina
e un coltello
e colpisci
il punto giusto, in modo che non sussulti, perché
il sussultare porta solo complicazioni e riduce il guadagno.
E gli spettatori sono già lì che stringono gli occhi, ammirano la

destrezza,
e prendono le borsette. E la carta è pronta
per avvolgerla. E il fumo sale dai camini.
E il Natale fa capolino dalle finestre, striscia a terra
e si tuffa nelle botti.
Questa è la legge della felicità.
Mi chiedo solo se la carpa sia la creatura più adatta.
Una creatura di gran lunga migliore sarebbe sicuramente una
che - distesa - tenuta piatta - bloccata,
rivolgerebbe il suo occhio blu
al mazzuolo, al coltello, alla borsetta, alla carta,
agli spettatori e ai camini
e al Natale,
e rapidamente
direbbe qualcosa. Per esempio
Questi sono i miei giorni più lieti, questi sono i miei giorni d'oro.
Oppure
Il cielo stellato sopra di me e la legge morale dentro di me,
o anche

Eppure si muove.
O almeno
Alleluia!

I think what I want for Christmas is a set of 5ml test tubes with caps/corks and a holder.
Trying to keep them straight on the bathroom counter is not ideal.

Also, the API caps leak...
