While not poisonous substances, heat and humidity from summer weather can be deadly to pets. Most pets donât perspire like humans, but use their lungs to get rid of excess heat. As the ambient temperature and humidity rise, their ability to cool in this manner fails and they suffer from heat stroke.
Senet is the oldest board game known to exist. Sets have been found in burial chambers from as far back as 3,500 B.C.âincluding four in Tutankhamenâs tomb. Game boards were three squares wide and ten squares long, and sets typically had five to seven pieces for each player.
Two of our favorite classic board games are checkers and chess. Some of our friends WONDERed which of these classics came along first, so we decided to investigate! Luckily, our time machine was full of fuel, so we set the dial back about 1,500 years and headed to ancient India.
