Astrologist and all around positive dude Rob Brezsny came up with the Mirabilia Report. I think it’s a great idea, and every day lately I’ve been attempting to come up with at least one observation worthy of being reported as such. I suggest you give it a try too.

Here’s Rob’s report:

Mirabilia is a word that refers to events that inspire wonder, marvelous phenomena, small miracles; it’s from the Latin mirabilia, “marvels.” Here’s your mirabilia report for the coming week:

  • The average river requires a million years to move a grain of sand 100 miles.
  • Kind people are more likely than mean people to yawn when someone near them does.
  • There are always so many fragments of spider legs floating in the air that you are constantly inhaling them wherever you go.
  • Gregorian chants can cure dyslexia.
  • Bob Hope donated half a million jokes to the Library of Congress.
  • Bees perform a valuable service for the flowers from which they steal.
  • The moon smells like exploded firecrackers.
  • Physicists in Tennessee coaxed electric signals to travel through coaxial cable at four times the speed of light, even though the equipment they used was cheap stuff from Radio Shack.
  • Revlon makes 177 different shades of lipstick.
