Random stuff
The UC Davis Botany Club today was selling various types of plants for Valentine's Day. One particular plant that caught my interest was a succulent that looks exactly like an upright heart, hence why it was being sold on Valentine's Day. The person behind the table said that if you abuse the plant (i.e., if you starve it, etc.), then it will turn red. I have no idea what that's supposed to signify.

I don't know why I've never seen this, despite the fact that I both live near a train station and have been around freight trains for quite a while, but apparently there are some boxcars that have written on their sides DO NOT HUMP. There's a macro joke to be made around here, but hell if I know what it is.

Humping, btw, refers to the process of rolling boxcars up to the top of a hill with a set of parallel tracks below. Boxcars are then sorted by toggling the switch and then pushing the boxcars down the hill. Unfortunately, some boxcars don't take lightly to being rolled down hills, hence the warning.
