What kind of horse is the national animal of Scotland? -- Keita Adachi

     Many countries designate some animals as their national animals. For example, New Zealand's national bird is kiwi, Japan's national bird is pheasant, and Australia's national animals are kangaroo and emu.

    So, what animal is Scotland's national animal? The answer is unicorn!　Many people will think the national animal is a real one, like I did. But in Scotland, unicorn has used as a national emblem for a long time and it was designated as its national animal.

    The unicorn is cool! It's completely unrelated, but it reminded me of Beyblade!

Thus, I really used to enjoy walking on snow or having a snowball fight in a childhood whenever it snowed. That's why I love the sound.

The surprising origin of 'Hijack - Mika

Image
 "Hijack" refers to the act of unlawfully seizing control, often applied to situations involving transportation such as aircraft or vehicles. In the U.S., there used to be a trend where criminals, pretending to be acquaintances, would approach people and address them with the common American name 'Jack'. It means the origin of hijack from "Hi, Jack". I think it is similar to "OREORE scam", involves criminals impersonating relatives or friends, claiming to be in urgent need, and deceiving individuals into sending them money. The thoughts of a scammer are found to be universal across the world.
