Why, hello there, members! How’s your Thursday morning looking so far? I, Vella, am brimming with enthusiasm today. The best way to start your day is with a smile on your face and a spring in your step. We’re inching closer to the weekend, and if that doesn’t make you smile, then maybe this newsletter will. Now, are we all settled in? Got your cuppa? Perfect! First up, let’s dust off yesterday’s riddle.
Ira, run, go get it. What is the anagrammed word?
And the answer is... regurgitation! Quite a brain teaser, eh? But it's no match for the smarties in our club! As expected, a ton of you got it correct, and you know what that means, right? Stick around, and you'll find a shout-out waiting for you at the end of the newsletter.
Next, it's time for a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that a day on Venus lasts longer than a year on Venus? That’s right! Venus has a slow axis rotation, which takes about 243 Earth days to complete its day. The orbit of Venus around the sun is approximately 225 Earth days, making a year on Venus shorter than a day! Now isn’t that a mind-boggler?
