In the game, blackberries don't "grow" in spring. So I had to look it up.
Blackberries do not typically produce edible fruit in the spring; instead, they grow vegetatively, with new canes (primocanes) emerging and old canes (floricanes) flowering. The plant grows actively in spring, requiring pruning of dead wood and supporting new cane growth. While fruit generally ripens in summer, some varieties may show early blooms in late spring.
In the game and in real life, the same goes for blueberries in winter.

Despite Jimmy Buffett dying, his band is still going. I know this because it's on the Ravinia website and we're going.

You don’t get off the gravy train just because the engineer dies.

In a medieval Poland, anyone who was caught eating meat during lent would have their teeth pulled out.
The law was first introduced by King Bolesław I the Brave.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Somebody has actually figured out how to make Leonardo Da Vinci's famous helicopter design fly.
Granted, the engine power of the drone body certainly helps, but the vertical lift is all in the aerial screw propellers.
