Royal houses where every single member has the same horrible horrible face is one of the funniest developments of monarchism 

And to add more to this, the House of Habsburg still looks like this in 2018

the worst offenders were definitely the Habsburgs from Spain, dear Lord, family tree was so messed up the Spanish branch went extinct by 1700, the Hungarian branch are stunners compared to poor spanish Habsburg lads

Researchers Discover
Novel Subtype of Multiple Sclerosis

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research
Institute have identified a new subtype of multiple sclerosis (MS) that
features neuronal loss but no demyelination of the brain’s white matter. The
process of demyelination was believed to be responsible for neuron death that
leads to irreversible disability for patients. The researchers believe that
this finding could lead to more personalized therapies.  

“This study opens up a new arena in MS research. It is the
first to provide pathological evidence that neuronal degeneration can occur
without white matter myelin loss in the brains of patients with the disease,” says
Bruce Trapp, PhD, chair of Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute
Department of Neurosciences. “This information highlights the need for
combination therapies to stop disability progression in MS.”

Penguin eggs are surprisingly strong, and for good reason—they have precious cargo! So how can these little floofs crack their way out of their shells?
• • •
A 2017 study found that chicken eggs can withhold 100 pounds of force distributed evenly on the top and bottom axes of the egg. Penguin chicks, like chickens, are able to use their beaks to push against the eggshell, and the shell breaks open because the chicks are exerting pressure at a localized point.
