    👍🏿Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes." This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.

    My guide was "MEY" ... visited only the outside (tours were closed), but it was awesome to see/experience this piece of history.

    A nice astronomy museum that is open during summer. This year it is open every Wednesday from 21:00-22:00. It is a guided tour in Italian language. Price is 8 euro per person. No advance booking needed. But it only allows first 50 people. They start selling tickets from 20:30. It is better to go 1 hour before selling tickets.

    Great views and interesting historical museum, but not very friendly to visitors. To get a ticket for the tour, you first have to register online or by phone. Then you get sent an email confirming your spot, and saying you have to turn up 15 minutes earlier than the allocated time to pay for the ticket in cash. (Why can't you just pay online?) The email says to go to the museum to do this, and even provides a google map link (all in Italian). But that is wrong. You actually need to go to a nearby museum to pay for the ticket, and then go to the astronomical museum. This is explained on the website, but not in the email you get which has contradictory instructions. The tour itself is only in Italian. Although half of our group clearly couldn't understand the guide, she made no attempt to talk to anyone who couldn't speak Italian, even though she had excellent English when pressed. So we just had to follow the people who appeared to understand the instructions of where we were supposed to go next. The guide had a few printed English language brochures, but not enough for those of us who needed them. Some of the signs on exhibits were in Italian and English, but not all. I'm sure the guide explained a lot of interesting things, but I don't know what they were. The views from the top were fantastic. We were there at sunset and it was beautiful.

    An important surviving monument from the 14th-century fortifications, it's now organized into an interesting museum and a variety of cultural events open to the public. A visit is highly recommended, especially during the evening openings organized in July.

    Very interesting. Loved all the instruments and the view is stunning. Look out for the visiting time, it's a bit odd. The visit is in Italian.

    This museum is a must in Padova, because you learn a lot about Galileo Galilei and other physicians that studied there, and also you can see the views of the whole city, important because there are few places that as tall and clear in the city.
