Here's What's Buzzing Around The Office:
1 [Millennials might not be so bad after all: Turns out, people have been complaining about younger generations for centuries. A letter in 1771 called the day's youth âself-admiring,â about 250 years before the selfie even existed.]
2 [Why is the Crazy Horse Monument taking so long? Although its construction began in 1948, the memorial honoring the Lakota leader Crazy Horse is still nowhere near completed. Issues with funding and materials, not to mention controversy about whether to continue building at all, mean the structure may never be finished.]
3 [An Easter egg of a different sort: 16 Easter eggs hidden in Apple products. See if you can find the text from Appleâs famous 1997 âThink Differentâ campaign in the TextEdit icon.]
4 [What did Plutarch have to say about marriage? Turns out, quite a lot. One tip thatâs still applicable today: Join with your spouse in laughter. One that might not be: Avoid love spells.]
5 [Yet another reason to go to Australia: The Break Room, near Melbourne, is where visitors get to shatter plates, bottles, and more with a baseball bat as a way of taking out their frustrations. It's the perfect service for anyone who's ever had a word processor crash on them halfway through a major project.]
6 [Watch a male seahorse give birth to thousands of babies. Unlike most species, male seahorses carry the eggs and deliver the children. The male featured in this video delivers around 2000 babies at once, making the miracle of life feel extra, well, miraculous.]
