5 Weird Things I’ve Never Shared With You in the whole three years I’ve been writing this blog. How can I be sure? I’ve just learned about them in the past month.
But first, let’s have this:
I wasn’t planning to count this as one weird thing since it’s satire, but I wanted to start with something funny.
Okay, this next item begins the weirdness:
This triggered so many things in my mind: first, the cloaking field from Star Trek.
Next, Harry Potter’s cloak of invisibility:
But the oldest example is below:
On we go to the next weird thing.
Your Second Weird Thing of 5 Weird Things
How can I not have the phrase ‘intelligent slime mold’ in my blog post? You may ask, ‘How can a slime mold be intelligent?” They can efficiently solve the famous ‘Travelling Salesman’ problem. You haven’t heard of that? Check out the following article:
Earlier in my life, I worked in operations research and this problem was difficult to solve by computer. How difficult? It belongs to a class of problems called ‘NP hard problems’. That means the difficulty goes up as a factorial (1*2*3 = 3 factorial) of the number of cities.
You can solve this by brute computing force, but the slime mold does it without brains! That’s weird.

If this robot isn’t grist for a science fiction story, then I’ve never read SciFi before!
The Penultimate Weird Thing
I love vocabulary for its own sake, ever since I read the ‘Abecedarian Book’ when I was twelve. Penultimate is one of those weird words you read, but may not know the meaning. Look it up.
Your new weird thing begins here.
You know it’s weird when you can’t believe it (I didn’t) and yet it’s true.
