Is Earth round or flat❓
I cringed at the topic "as a former NASA Astrometrist" but if you look up... in the Northern Hemisphere, we have Polaris (the North Star) relatively stationary in the sky. Just use your phone with one of those sky apps. Now, get on a plane and go to Australia... Polaris drops below the horizon and isn’t visible at all. Meanwhile, now that you are in Australia, you can see the Southern Cross (Crux). No amount of weird “perspective” or “light bending” on a supposedly flat plane can explain why completely different stars are visible as you change hemispheres. For the average Joe, Earth should be considered a perfect sphere: Equatorial Diameter: About 12,756 km Polar Diameter (North to South Pole): About 12,714 km That’s a difference of roughly 42 km. It may not sound like a lot on a planetary scale, but it’s enough to show up in measurements and in Earth’s rotation characteristics. But that's only for scientist. For most people 42 km in nothing compared to almost 13,000. The more you know... -

Gifting the Spouse
I don't have time to find the source right now but I remember doing plenty of reading on this when the new tax regulations were first mentioned. I'm almost certain that I came across an official source that stated you cannot get around the new tax requirements by gifting money to your wife. -

Gorilla Smuggling Plot Destined for Thailand Discovered at Istanbul Airport
These Gorilla's are almost extinct due to poachers, similar to Rhinoceros and tigers in Siberia and India which China pays big money for their bones for medicines. The fact that this is still going on and thankfully caught before making Thailand is horrifying. Unless government are serious about putting a stop to poaching and endangered animal trafficking, we can only see more killed. Most likely, you can show the grandkids pictures of these rare endangered animals. Thanks to the lack of protection.
