...then perform the necessary calculations in a flash and display the changing patterns on a cathode ray tube, providing a remarkable kaleidoscopic show. Sometimes the counters quickly settle into what Conway calls "still lifes" - stable, unchanging figures, including those known in the game's already rich jargon as "bee hives," 9, "snakes," 10 or "long ships," 11 . At other times the patterns may pulse, like the "traffic lights," which flip-flop between patterns 12 and 13. Other figures, including "gliders" and "spaceships," actually move across the board.

At that time, student cellists were taught to bow with their arms close to their sides, even holding a book under their armpits as a method of instruction. Casals tried bowing more freely...
...Austrian who did most of his research at the University of Munich, Karl von Frisch established after decades of observation that bees communicate with each other through a complicated, highly articulate language of dance. He found, for instance, that a bee returning from a source of honey near the hive will perform a "round" dance, but if the source is more than about 160 ft. away, he will "waggle" instead. When the scout bee steps forward during the waggling dance, it points the way to the source. Having written the classic book on the subject, The Dancing Bees, Von Frisch...
