Not sure this one's gonna get in, but I hope it does. Norman Rockwell gets scoffed at because of his smarmy, wholesome oeuvre, but I think he is a wonderful fantasy painter. He does paint fantasies, American fantasies, depicting Americans as they most love to see themselves. But if you ever get to see one of his actual paintings and examine it up close, you'll find that he truly was a master painter. Hate on his subject matter all you want; this dude knew his craft!
(This is not even one of his best works, but I wanted something fantastical so I could talk about him) — with Ilie Eugen Săuchea.

The bulbous bow, a prominent feature seen on many modern ships, plays a crucial role in enhancing their performance. This protruding bulb located just below the waterline at the front of the ship significantly influences how water flows around. the hull, thereby reducing drag and improving overall efficiency.
The primary advantage of a bulbous bow is its ability to reduce the ship's wave- making resistance. When a ship moves, it generates a bow wave. The bulbous bow creates its own wave system that interacts with the primary bow wave, effectively canceling it out. This interaction minimizes the energy lost to wave creation, allowing the ship to move more efficiently through the water. As a result, ships equipped with bulbous bows enjoy enhanced fuel efficiency and can achieve higher speeds with the same power input. This reduction in fuel consumption not only lowers operational costs but also reduces the ship's environmental footprint.
Another important benefit of the bulbous bow is its impact on stability. 
How Big is C-5 Super Galaxy?
The C-5M Super Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft, and its size is impressive. Here are some key dimensions:

It's worth noting that the C-5M Super Galaxy is one of the largest and heaviest military aircraft in the world, with a maximum takeoff weight equivalent to about 200 cars or 15 elephants! 
In 2014, a shocking discovery emerged from Denmark's Huldremose bog: a 3,000-year-old dagger, dating back to around 1000–800 BC, with its wooden handle still intact. This Late Bronze Age weapon was preserved thanks to the bog’s unique conditions—waterlogged, acidic, and low in oxygen—which slow down decay and create an anaerobic environment.
Such a find is incredibly rare, as wooden artifacts from this period usually do not survive. The dagger highlights both the skill of ancient craftsmen and the extraordinary preservation conditions, offering rare insights into Bronze Age weaponry and craftsmanship.
