*DID YOU KNOW?*

* Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood. Two hearts pump blood to the gills while one pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Their blood is blue because it uses copper to transport oxygen unlike the red blood of humans which is transported with iron.

* Joal-Fadiouth, a district in Senegal, has an island and a beach entirely made of seashells.

*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 1994, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola declared himself as Nigeria’s president in what is now known as the Epetedo Declaration. This was a year after the June 12, 1993, which it is now cofirmed he won, was annulled by the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. Less than 24 hours, he was arrested by the military government led by General Sani Abacha and detained without trial. He remained in custody till July 7, 1998 when he died under suspicious circumstances, just days after Abacha died.
