Top 5 Regrets of the dying

I watched a TED talk that brought up this incredible article from the Huffington Post written by a palliative care worker. She shared a list of the most common regrets she heard from people that were dying. I found them very moving, so I would like to share them here:

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I didn't work so hard.

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

5 mind blowing octupuses (it turns out octopi is actually incorrect!)

1. All species are venomous, but the blue-ringed octopus is the only one dangerous to humans, responsible for at least two deaths!


2. Octopuses are about 90% muscle!



3. Because they don't have bones, even large octopuses can fit through an opening the size of a quarter.


4. An octopus has 3 hearts.



5. Octopuses inject their prey with venom using a beak similar to a bird's made from the same tough material as a lobster shell.
