The color of your child’s swimsuit could impact their safety at a swimming pool or the beach.
Avoid swimsuits in light blue, gray, or green as they can blend with the water and pool surroundings, making it difficult to spot a child.
Neon Yello, Orange, Pink, and Bright Red are more visible under the water.

From NPR - Beauty pageant contestants have always been judged by their looks, and, in recent decades, by their do-gooderly deeds and winning personalities.
Still, one thing that’s remained consistent throughout beauty pageant history is that you had to be a human to enter.
But now that’s changing.
Models created using generative artificial intelligence (AI) are competing in the inaugural “Miss AI” pageant this month.
The contestants have no physical, real-world presence. They exist only on social media, primarily Instagram, in the form of photorealistic images of extremely beautiful young women — all of it created using a combination of off-the-shelf and proprietary AI technology.
They are disturbingly real-looking. Oh and one of the requirements is to have the right amount of fingers.

A Maine woman enjoying a walk on a popular beach learned that quicksand doesn’t just happen in Hollywood movies in jungles or rainforests.
Jamie Acord was walking at the water’s edge at Popham Beach State Park over the weekend when she sunk to her hips in a split second, letting out a stunned scream. She told her husband, “I can’t get out!”
Within seconds, her husband had pulled her from the sand trap, the sand filled in, and the stunned couple wondered: What just happened?
It turns out that quicksand, known as supersaturated sand, is a real thing around the world.
People who are caught in supersaturated sand remain buoyant — people don’t sink in quicksand — allowing them to float and wriggle themselves to safety.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - In the '60s, McDonald's considered changing their logo from the Golden Arches to something else.
But they got talked out of it by a design consultant who said the arches were great because of a, quote, "Freudian symbolism of a pair of nourishing breasts."
Is everything about sex??? I always figured the Arches represented an M...you know McDonalds
