Today is the first day of March, a month where we see the beginning of Spring and the awakening of nature. Springtime is seen as a time of growth and renewal of new life (both plants and animals), with the cycle of life starting once again.

In our article, The month of March, we learn about some old traditions and the games, which were played specifically during this month. You will learn why is the Narcissus flower associated with this month and what were the origins of the famous nursery rhyme, Oranges and Lemons. Did you know that it was during this month, exactly on 29 March 1886, that Coca Cola was first introduced? It has been with us for the past 121 years.

Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well not all of them. In the article, Dead flies power flesh-eating robot, we learn that scientists from the Bristol Robotics Laboratory in the United Kingdom have invented a robot that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places and get its energy from dead flies, rotten apples or sugar. I am sure that you will find this article very interesting and, who knows, maybe one day a robot will be invented that will take care of all our needs as well!

See you next Thursday
