an extremely loud buzzing insect flew into my room 
Night time, window open, lamp on. long, winged, dark brown/black 
with two yellowy orange bands near base of body 
Quite chunky. or could have been very hairy

a hissing cockroach. Their heads point downward, 
almost as if they're built for ramming
Sometimes, a roach can re-grow a lost limb when it molts 

tread voids provide space for the lug to flex and deform 
as it enters and exits the footprint
sidewalls contain air pressure to transmit the torque 
applied by the drive axle to the tread to create higher traction
shaft axles permit the use of a differential
but will not have attached split axle housing tubes

in the retching phase, the abdominal muscles undergo 
a few rounds of coordinated contractions together with the diaphragm 
and the breathing muscles akin to an episode of violent hiccups 
intense pressure is formed in the stomach brought about 
by enormous shifts in both the diaphragm and the abdomen. These shifts are, 
in essence, vigorous contractions of these muscles that last for 
extended periods of time - much longer than a normal period of muscular contraction 
The pressure is then suddenly released when the upper esophageal sphincter 
relaxes resulting in the expulsion of gastric contents. Individuals 
may experience pain in those muscles for a few days 

Another possible nuclear terrorism threat is devices designed 
to disperse radioactive materials over a large area using conventional explosives, 
called dirty bombs. The detonation of a "dirty bomb" would not cause a 
nuclear explosion, nor would it release enough radiation to kill 
or injure a lot of people

The collapse of the Soviet Union has given rise to the possibility that former 
Soviet nuclear weapons might become available on the black market 
so-called 'loose nukes'. While no warheads are known to have been mislaid, 
it has been alleged that at least some 
very small or suitcase-size bombs might be unaccounted for

Various scientists and authors, such as Carl Sagan, 
predicted massive, possibly life ending destruction of the earth 
as the result of such a conflict. Cold War themes in art. He worried that 
younger writers were too preoccupied with questions like "When will I be blown up?"

The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram is a scatter graph of stars showing 
the relationship between the stars' absolute magnitudes or luminosities 
versus their spectral types or classifications and effective temperatures 
Hertzsprung–Russell diagrams are not pictures or maps of the locations 
of the stars. Rather, they plot each star on a graph measuring the 
star's absolute magnitude or brightness against its temperature and colour

In artistic renderings, the surrounding constellations 
are sometimes related to Orion: he is depicted standing next to the 
river Eridanus with his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor, 
fighting Taurus the bull. He is sometimes depicted hunting Lepus the hare. 
and sometimes with a lion's hide in his hand

a full-scale nuclear war could potentially bring about 
the extinction of the human race

the fantasy of living through one’s own death
