The Polish embassy in the US gave Jim Cramer a history lesson on Tuesday after the CNBC host compared the department store Macy's to the Polish army in WWII.

In a tweeted statement, the embassy quotes Cramer as drawing the following comparison: "Macy's is like the Polish Army in WWII — it tried to field cavalry against German tanks and it did not end well."

"This statement was unnecessary, inaccurate, and insensitive," the Embassy said, adding that facts do not support Cramer's comparison. Читать дальше...

Fish are weird, beautiful, alien things.

They move through Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, displaying an astonishing range of colorations, forms, and lifestyles.

They also share some striking similarities to Pokemon. Hear me out — just about every fish starts off looking almost nothing like it will as an adult. Those baby, larval swimmers can be almost totally transparent or so tiny that it's hard to believe they're related to their adult forms.
