    Berenice

    by Edgar Allan Poe (published in 1835)

    Misery _____ manifold. The wretchedness of earth _____ multiform. Overreaching the wide horizon
    as the rainbow, its hues _____ as various as the hues of that arch, --as distinct too, yet as intimately
    blended. Overreaching the wide horizon as the rainbow! How _____ it that from beauty I have
    derived a type of unloveliness? --from the covenant of peace a simile of sorrow? But as, in ethics,
    evil _____ a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy _____ sorrow born. Either the memory of
    past bliss _____ the anguish of to-day, or the agonies which _____ have their origin in the ecstasies
    which might have been.

    April 7th 2022 Scientists from the Chinese University of Hong Kong created a magnetic slime that
    squeezes through narrow spaces, encircles smaller objects, and heals itself.
    Magnets control the slime, and it can act as both a solid and a liquid.
    Scientists envisage that the slime could potentially be useful in the digestive
    system, such as in reducing the harm from accidentally swallowed objects like
    batteries.
    Scientists move the slime with external magnets. Although the magnetic parts _____ toxic, they ____ safe
    when they _____ covered in a silicone compound. The so-called soft robot can also bend, travel, and
    reshape to form O and C shapes.
    People on social media compared the dark blob to Flubber, the eponymous substance in the 1997 sci-fi
    film, and they described like it _____ amazing and a bit terrifying.
