For the Week of October 4th, 2026

Curiosity-provoking links to get your students (and you) wondering!

1. Oh no. It’s a land octopus.
2. This is the Berlin Clock (aka Mengenlehreuhr)! And here's an explanation of how to read the time. Fascinating! Thanks to Alissa for the link!
3. So that's how they make McDonald's french fries!
4. My favorite basketball player, Nikola Jokić’s top 30 plays for his 30th birthday. If you’ve got one minute, start at 5:00 and enjoy plays 17, 16, and 15. Might as well watch 14 too.
5. Only fifteen moving points are enough for your brain to see a person walking.
