Wodahs Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 The Milky Way smells of rum and tastes like strawberries (and other weird facts about our galaxy) Scientists made the unlikely discovery when they trained the IRAM radio telescope on Sagittarius B2, the gas cloud which is at the heart of the Milky Way. They were looking at which molecules make up objects in the universe, and pinpointed ethyl formate. This is the chemical that gives fruit, wine and flowers their sweet scent, and raspberries their delicious flavour. It also smells like rum, because it’s made from ethanol (more commonly known as pure alcohol) mixed with another acid http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/03/the-milky-way-smells-of-rum-and-tastes-like-strawberries-and-other-weird-facts-about-our-galaxy-5542586/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodahs Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 ok ok time for another random fact and today I thought id make it a bit closer to home sooooooo seeing its an anime/manga forum I do this fact about an anime and the anime In the spotlight well Is This a Zombie? well more to the point Eucliwood Hellscythe drom the anime even tho It's not unusual for a character to get a new voice actor in a reboot or even in a new season. now for all the people that have seen this anime series and knows how little she speaks did you know she has has 22 different voice actresses over the same number of episodes (including OVAs). Why? While the character herself rarely speaks, each episode features fantasy segments of Eucliwood speaking. And each time this happens, she has a different voice, "selfishly imagined by our weak-willed protagonist." and has a new seiyuu in every single episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
