\u27a2 Insects called “MURDER HORNETS” have made their way to the U.S. for the first time ever.\u00a0 These hornets are up to two inches long and a bee expert at Washington State University says they are, quote, “like something out of a monster cartoon.”<\/p>\n
The murder hornets kill up to 50 people a year in Japan . . . and their stingers are so long and powerful that they can penetrate beekeeping suits.\u00a0 Fortunately, they don’t usually attack people . . . but when they do, look out.<\/p>\n
They’re also a huge predator to honey bees . . . and just a few of these hornets can completely destroy a hive in a few hours.\u00a0 Four sightings have happened in Washington state and British Columbia, Canada.\u00a0 There’s no word on how the hornets got here . . . but experts are working on trying to trap them to keep them from spreading.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Belgium\u2019s national potato industry is calling on the population at large to do its part by keeping deep fryers fired up on the home front. The demand for frozen potatoes has nosedived in recent weeks, and the Belgian industry faces a possible loss of 125 million euros ($135.5 million), if hundreds of tons of surplus potatoes don\u2019t move this year.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 How many spaces do you make after the end of a sentence when typing? Microsoft Word is going to start flagging the use of two spaces between sentences as an error. The use of the double-space is leftover from the days of using a typewriter as they could only use \u201cmonospaced\u201d fonts, or characters with equal spaces between them, and the extra space ensured a piece would be easier to read. The new rule is being rolled out slowly across Word so you may not notice the change until you update your software. However, if you are passionate about your double-space habit you can instruct Word to ignore the \u201cerror.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u27a2 \u201cStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker\u201d will begin streaming on Disney+ TODAY. Makes sense. The conclusion of the Skywalker saga will premiere on Disney+ two months earlier than scheduled in order to celebrate the date that is affectionately known by fans around the world as \u201cStar Wars Day\u201d due to the similarity with the saying from the sci-fi franchise \u201dMay The Force be with you\u201d.<\/p>\n
