Here Comes The Sun - George Harrison
Light for the Ages
Today, our sun reaches its northernmost point in planet Earth's sky. Called a solstice, the date traditionally marks a change of seasons -- from spring to summer in Earth's Northern Hemisphere and from fall to winter in Earth's Southern Hemisphere.
In this image from 2007, NASA's Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) satellites provided the first three-dimensional images of the sun. STEREO, a two-year mission that launched October 2006, provided a unique and revolutionary view of the Sun-Earth System.

helioatry

I bet there are millions of people who now regret their helioatry from years past.
Well, maybe there's a few that don't....

couvade
couvade \koo-VAHD\ , noun;
1. A practice in certain cultures in which the husband of a woman in labor takes to his bed as though he were bearing the child.
I can't recall ever seeing this word before now, but I doubt I'll ever do it because I've already given birth to a kidney stone.
Via "C-section", too. That was bad enough, but I don't think I'd have liked the "natural birth."

How many Justin Biebers?
Could YOU take on in a fight?
Created by Oatmeal
I would have done better if I'd had more fights in my life as well as had martial arts training. Still, 28 isn't bad. I bet my big sister could take on 35, maybe 40 Biebers before she went down.
NOTE: Sometimes with quizzes I will post a related video for comedic value.
Not in this case.
