    White petunias exist in nature, but not bright orange and yellow ones. In 2015, one of my PhD advisers, Teemu Teeri, found an orange petunia growing at a railway station near Helsinki. He discovered that its colour was due to an unauthorized genetic modification, and the sale of such plants came to be banned in some countries.

    Is she Norwegian?

    I think it may be more about where she put the little finger that got him off the bed

    A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

    Iceland Has Trained Horses to Respond to Your Work Emails When You’re on Vacation
    Yes, you read that right. Iceland is encouraging tourists visiting the country to disconnect and trained a few horses to type on a giant custom keyboard.

    I like the idea of OutHorsing, but I think my Dogministrative Assistant might get jealous. I'll have to get her a keyboard.

    That there is a commercially viable demand for this makes me nervous...
    The PureWash Bidet Seat is as standard as any other, but I like that you can talk to it. It’s heated, has adjustable temperatures and water pressure, and comes in white or black to match your bathroom style. It also features voice activation via Amazon’s Alexa or the Google Assistant. You can use your voice to command the spray pressure and the air dryer—it has a dryer!
