Termites are tenacious creatures that spend their entire lives maintaining the colony. They put in so much effort that they don't take any breaks. Imagine working seven days in a row without taking a break. These tiny bee-eaters are the model workaholics in nature!

The Rorschach test has been transferred between the shared file drawers of psychology throughout the years, praised by certain therapists and scorned by others. According to critics, the scoring system and parsing replies are as subjective to the psychologist as they are to the patient, and it is pseudoscience. A meta-analysis of available data conducted in 2000 revealed that "the vast majority of [Rorschach] indices are not empirically validated." Others see objective evidence in a more refined scoring system for answers originally used in the 1970s and regard the exam as useful in understanding how individuals communicate their impressions—while not diagnostic, it may be helpful.

Perhaps he is the king (or queen) of diplomatic blunders. When Wonder Woman was illegally detained by the Department of Metahuman Affairs, Hippolyta devised a plan to invade Washington, D.C. and murder everyone in sight. Sure, it was a Circe manipulation plot, but that was a little far-fetched! In fact, the series was panned for its violent and gruesome nature – after all, it's not every day that DC fans read about Amazons murdering innocent children in Washington.

So, if you see an author you enjoy speaking at a library, reading at a bookstore, or participating in a demonstration near you, go! Support them in person!
