Fact of the day

Did you know that only five per cent of the world’s ocean has been explored? The ocean makes up about 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface and yet much is still left unknown. This is partly because the technology needed for deep sea exploration was only developed in the last few decades. Who knew what we’d find lurking down in the deep blue?

WOD Head

Cherub

Angelic or innocent. For example, ‘The happy couple could not stop looking at their daughter’s cherub face.’ Pronounced as CHEH-RUHB.

Quote of the day

‘Running water never grows stale. So you just have to keep on flowing.’

— Bruce Lee
