    Somebody says that it is raining cats and dogs. We know it means it is raining heavily. Here you can know why people say like this.

    There are many large rats (老鼠) in a country. People need cats. But there are many mountains in the country. It's hard for a plane to land. So the cats come down by parachute (降落伞). In another country, the people need dogs to help people to find the people in the snow. Where can they get them? You can guess. The dogs come down by parachute. Both cats and dogs are coming down by parachute, just like the raindrops coming from the sky. So there is the saying "It is raining cats and dogs".

It seems that paleontology(古生物学) has nothing to do with fun. However,some online videos about it have become popular with young people. These videos are made by Fun Stuff,a science account(账户) on Bilibili. It has posted about 150 videos and most of them are for free. And these videos have been watched over 100 million times. 

The makers behind Fun Stuff are Tang Cheng and Cai Chunlin. They're a couple(夫妇) at the same university. Both of them studied science very hard and always discussed questions about science together. 

It all started on a small island in 2014,when Tang studied monkeys there. At the time,he started giving online classes to children. After one class,a student asked him what a cell(细胞) is. Then he decided to make more people fall in love with science. 

In 2018,Tang and Cai began to play some English science videos and share them on Bilibili. The next year,they began to make their own videos. They spent two months on their first video. It is about an amazing animal living in ancient times. In the video,Tang talks about the animal's look and habits and why it died out. The special and clear way to tell scientific facts soon made the video very popular. Since then,the couple has made lots of videos about ancient animals. 

"Fun Stuff has the interesting way to make science about the ancient world very interesting," says a fan.

On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out in advance. I knew where I was going, staying for how long, and how I would get there. And then half-way through I ditched the plan and went with the flow (随大流) . Over the years, how I plan my travel has changed. Now, I'm a last-minute planner and seldom travel with any plan. 

Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far in advance, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along. I changed my plans to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month. I wouldn't have had that experience if I had kept to my planned schedule. 

"    ★    " — they overplan their trips. Their whole journey is scheduled. Two days here, three days there. I understand why people do that. When time is short, you want to see as much as possible. You don't want to waste a single second. 

Actually, it is better to slow down your pace. Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feel for the rhythm of life. You can visit at a more relaxed pace, see more than just the attractions, and open up your schedule to the happy accidents of travel. 

When I first made my travel plan, I tried to include everything in it. Then I realized it was unrealistic, and reviewed my plan. I came up with a list of one or two things I want to see each day and spaced everything out. It's an important lesson to learn. I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take, book the first few nights of your trip, and let your travels unfold from there. This way you are never locked into a certain place if your feelings change.
