In the mid-80s, a unique television show captured the hearts of audiences across the globe. The show was “Small Wonder,” and the star was a young, charismatic actress named Tiffany Brissette. She played the role of a robot, a character that despite its emotionless demeanor, managed to charm viewers far and wide. But as the years passed and the show ended, Tiffany Brissette seemingly vanished from the public eye. So, what ever happened to Tiffany Brissette?
We all would love our childhood shows, especially if we were born in the late 1980s or 1990s. Teen dramas were high, and almost everyone was tuning in to watch their favorite shows. Mainly shows like My So-Called Life, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Saved By The Bell.
This post goes out to all those on the poly people out there living their best life.
For most of us, we think of antibiotics as something that helps us when we’re sick. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that every type of antibiotic is good for us or that complications don’t happen.
In the case of Indonesian Youtuber Ricard Siagian the side effects from a particular course of antibiotics turned out to be fatal, most notably a complete inability to sleep.

Around 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized each year in the United States simply because too many people give up their pets, and too few people adopt from shelters.
Because there is limited space at shelters, staff members sometimes need to make very hard decisions to euthanize animals who haven’t been adopted.
The number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets instead of buying them.
By adopting from a private humane society or animal shelter, rescue group, or the local animal-control agency, you’ll help save the lives of two animals—the pet you adopt and a homeless animal somewhere who can be rescued because of space you helped free up.
1. You go on a road trip together and still like each other at the end of it. Traveling together in general is a great test of a relationship. Packing, airports, cabs, foreign languages, etc. Being able to navigate all the potentially stressful aspects of traveling and still have a good time together is a huge green flag in my opinion.
Hear the word “leopon” and you may think it’s a type of Pokémon. It’s a real animal that exists on planet Earth. It’s a crossed-bred big cat. Think of mules (mixes of donkeys and horses) or dog breeds (cockapoos, goldendoodles, etc.). Another group of four-legged friends whose genetics can get crossed, members of the genus Panthera can produce a whole new slew of furry predators, the leopon included.
Clowns usually have very colorful faces. Pandas are the monochromatic variant. The internet is choc full of videos of these black-and-white bears tripping and falling all over their zoo enclosures. Though majestic, they are anything but graceful.
Commonly known as killer whales, are orcas really as evil as they sound?
This monochromatic marine mammal has been rumored to play with its lunch: innocent, giggling dolphins. But! Everything isn’t as it seems.
Only about .02 inches big (half the size of the tip of a pencil point or ¼ the width of a nickel), the tardigrade is a microscopic invertebrate that looks like something out of a science fiction movie. Most closely related to insects and crustaceans, tardigrades have 8 legs but look more like the horizontal version of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man than any bug or crab.

Although thousands of new species of animal are discovered every year, the majority are never going to make headlines, given that most vary in only very minor ways from existing species. But when fishermen discovered the mimic octopus off the beautiful Indonesian island of Sulawesi as recently as 1998, they really had uncovered something new. Or had they? In fact, there’s every chance that this creature had been spotted before, just not recognized, as it may have looked like an entirely different animal at the time.
