Mick Jagger's Interesting Family

Image
Today's post is a collaboration between StaDaFa.com and my other blog, ToHippo.com. Mick Jagger has got great-grandchildren older than his youngest child.  His children range in age from 7 to 53. Other interesting facts about Mick Jagger's family: Mick Jagger has children spanning over five decades. His first child, Karis, was born in 1970, while his most recent child, Deveraux, was born in 2016. This means there’s a 46-year age gap between his oldest and youngest child. His grandchildren span over many decades too. His first grandchild, Assisi was born in 1992, while his most recent one, Eugene, was born in 2020, giving them a 28-year difference. Melanie, Mick’s most recent partner, born in 1987, is younger than 4 of Mick’s children.

Sequels Years Apart

This week we take a look at the films with the longest time gaps between original and sequel. While it is not uncommon for studios to release sequels to successful films within a few years of the original, there are some cases where the gap between the original film and its sequel is much longer. Top Gun represents one of the longest time gaps between a film and its sequel with the same lead actor(s), which was released 36 years after the original in 1986. Despite the long wait, the sequel, titled Top Gun: Maverick, managed to bring back many of the original cast members including Tom Cruise as the lead character, Maverick. The sequel was originally slated for release in 2019, but was delayed by two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This delay brought Top Gun to the top of this list. The second longest time gap between an original firm and its sequel is Blade Runner. The original film released in 1982, and saw a sequel released 35 years later in 2017. Blade Runner 2049 feat...

The effect of Wordle on Google Search Traffic

  Wordle is a new word-game that everyone and their mother seems to talk about these days. It is a fun word game that seems like the child Mastermind had with crosswords. The goal of Wordle is to find a random five-letter word in 6 tries. You do that by guessing each time what the missing word might be. After each guess, the colour of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word. If a letter turns  green , then that letter is in the word and in the correct spot. If a letter turns  yellow , it means that it is in the word but not in the correct spot, and if it turns  black , the letter is not on the word at all.  The whole appeal of Wordle, and what differentiates it from other word games, is the fact that only one word is available each day.  Somedays the word will be easy to guess and used in everyday conversations, others it will be something like "knoll". What the heck is a "knoll", I hear you askin...

And you have surely seen by now the black, green and yellow boxes all over your social media feed. This is because when you find the correct word, you can share your Wordle solving thinking process with the world. For example this is mine from January 25th, 2022, when the word in qu...
