Animalia Magazine: Stupid and Crazy Edition

added by makutamon 3 years ago O

Because of the Coronavirus causing a seeming outbreak of "cabin fever", the April Issue of Animalia Magazine, labeled the "Stupid and Crazy Edition", not only talked about historical pandemics and compared them to the Coronavirus, but also talked about things that were stupid and crazy.

---

The article that compared the Coronavirus to various historical pandemics had some surprising facts about disease and how they could spread. One of the more surprising facts was that there were several different 'mutations' of the influenza virus that were either just as bad or even worse, when they happened, and how long they lasted. But what was overall agreed on was the simple fact that none of the viruses could compare to the Black Death of the Middle Ages, or bubonic plague.

There was also an article that talked about one thing that was considered confusing to most Animalians: Darwin Awards. It not only discussed Darwin's Theory of Evolution, and how it worked, but it also talked about how said awards first got started. There was also a list of otherwise intelligent people killing themselves through dumb decisions, with some of them being more than a few centuries old. This did explain why some guys (or girls) who try to attract an Animalian bondmate and failed miserably were often handed fake "Darwin awards" for their failure, which was often confusing to Animalians who witnessed them.

Somehow it wasn't too much of a surprise to learn that some Darwin Award winners met their fate trying to impress others on social media.

There was also a few articles with ideas on how to entertain oneself while under quarantine or doing, "social distancing" This ranged from art and crafts, to easy-to-setup games (that didn't require electronics), to fun recipes that can boost immune systems, to energy-burning exercises, and more. While there were some that were a little hard to believe, all of them were interesting.

Following the theme of "craziness", there was also an article that talked about some of the most famous "crazy people" from history, as well as theories on how they got that way. While there were some that were understandable, there were those that were a little surprising.

While the Coronavirus was leveling off, it hadn't completely stopped, and the April Edition of Animalia Magazine was one way of keeping entertained during these difficult times.
