Turning His Head, Kristoff Tried To Make Out The Green-blue Swirled Of Color That Swam In The Refection

Turning his head, Kristoff tried to make out the green-blue swirled of color that swam in the refection of her eyes. Her bright blues were made brighter and livelier as they admired the star-speckled sky. A faint smile touched his face when he realized how much he loved when her eyes lit up.

      Anna found beauty in so many things that he thought were ugly, pointless or unimportant.

You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

You Know How Canaries Were Historically Brought Into Coal Mines, Because If The Mine Was Full Of Carbon

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!
