The expression "to be poleaxed" comes from the poleaxe (or pollaxe), a medieval weapon with an axe head and a spike, used literally to strike an animal's head (poll) or a person, and figuratively to mean being utterly stunned, shocked, or knocked senseless, as if hit by the heavy weapon.

The term gained its figurative, informal usage, meaning extreme surprise or shock, around the 1850s, derived from the literal action of felling someone with the weapon, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Origin Breakdown:
Poll/Pole: The "poll" refers to the head of an animal, and the "pole" is the long handle of the weapon.

Axe: The tool used for striking.
Literal Meaning: To strike someone or something (like cattle) with a poleaxe, often in the head (poll), to fell or stun them.

Figurative Meaning: To be so shocked or surprised that you are rendered helpless or speechless, just as if you were physically struck by the weapon.

So, when someone is "poleaxed," they're figuratively experiencing the same dazed, stunned state as someone literally hit by a poleaxe.

On October 13, 1970, Jim Morrison, the enigmatic frontman of The Doors, was captured in a candid moment outside The Doors Workshop in Los Angeles during an interview with Salli Stevenson for Circus Magazine.

This moment, immortalized through photographs by Kurt Ingham, offers a rare glimpse into Morrison's reflective, yet elusive nature just months before his death.

The interview, which covered aspects of his life, art, and philosophy, was part of a period when Morrison was known to be withdrawing from the public eye, having retreated into a more introspective, almost mysterious persona.

At the time, his music with The Doors had already reshaped the landscape of rock and roll, blending poetic, surreal lyrics with innovative music. However, the complexities of his personal life and artistic ambitions were often shrouded in mystery.

The release of the full interview in 2002 by Bright Midnight Records provided an unfiltered look into Morrison’s thoughts and reflections on fame, poetry, and the essence of rock music.

This archival discovery offered fans an intimate insight into a man who, despite his larger-than-life presence on stage, was often conflicted and contemplative off-stage.

In the interview, Morrison discussed his feelings about being the “Lizard King,” the public persona that had followed him since the band's rise to fame.

He delved into the tensions between the expectations of his fans and his desire to remain true to his artistic vision, something that had been a recurring theme throughout his career.

His words reveal a sense of vulnerability and awareness that contrasted sharply with the brash, confident figure he presented on stage.

This interview, and the photographs by Ingham, serve as a valuable historical document for understanding the final years of Jim Morrison’s life and The Doors’ artistic journey.

They provide context to a pivotal moment in rock history, capturing the essence of an era defined by experimentation, rebellion, and self-expression

This image displays an antique war hammer or poleaxe, a type of European polearm that became popular in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance (15th-17th centuries).

This type of weapon was specifically designed to combat the heavy plate armor prevalent at the time, which could resist the cuts of swords and axes.

The weapon's versatility allowed for various fighting techniques, making it highly effective in both foot combat and against mounted knights.

🐔 How Do Chickens Reproduce?

Many people assume chickens reproduce like mammals—but birds follow a very different, fascinating process. Here’s an easy-to-understand explanation 👇

Unlike mammals, chickens don’t have external reproductive organs. Instead, both the rooster and the hen have a single opening called a cloaca. This opening is used for reproduction, digestion, and waste.

🐓 What Happens During Mating?

When a rooster mates with a hen, he briefly mounts her.

Their cloacas touch for just a few seconds.

This moment is called the “cloacal kiss.”

During this contact, sperm is transferred from the rooster to the hen.

🥚 The Amazing Part

The hen can store the sperm inside her body for several days (sometimes weeks).

Because of this, one mating can fertilize multiple eggs over time.

Each fertilized egg has the potential to develop into a chick if incubated properly.

🐣 Important Fun Fact

Hens lay eggs even without a rooster—those eggs are unfertilized and will never become chicks.

Only eggs laid after mating with a rooster can develop into baby chickens.

🌱 Nature is incredibly efficient, even when it looks simple. Chickens prove that reproduction doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective!

Did you already know this—or did it surprise you?
