    TIL that unicorn hunting is legal in Michigan and you can get an actual license for it. It originated from a Unicorn Hunters Club in the 70's only to gain publicity, but it grew and came to actual issued licenses for unicorn hunting.

    ....gonna have to check the DNR site for this, I bet it still requires the base license, but if it's not prohibitively expensive, I'm doin it!

    TIL that Saturns’ rings are, cosmically speaking, a very brief event. We are about halfway through their 200 million year lifespan and are very lucky as a species to be alive to witness them. “Some velociraptor with a telescope looking at Saturn would not have seen rings.”

    Today I've learned that the mfp forums are still a *kitten* show, albeit funny, after a 2 year break from the app
