:O ‘Tikbalang’ or ‘Beneveolent Horse’

Tikbalang, huh? I definitely hadn’t heard of this one.

What we’ve got here, evidently, is a creature from Philippine folklore with—you guessed it—the head and limbs of a horse and the chiseled torso of a man.

Now, they’re either the evil transformations of aborted fetuses who live in the wilderness and spend all day luring travellers off the beaten path and into a lifetime of hopeless wandering,

OR,

they’re the secret guardians of elemental kingdoms who stand watch, keeping the ethereal realms protected and secret. They’re definitely one of those two things.

Watch your back, though. According to youtube, they’re out there waiting right now.

A Romanian man in what appears to be some sort of sequined dress singing in a feminine opera voice over dubstep.

This is Eurovision.

Look forward to my live tweets later today!

Octopus changes colour outside the water

It looks like it’s dying

OH GOD. THAT’S SO FUCKING SCARY.

Waaaaait whoa. Guys. He’s also changing the texture of his skin, along with attempting to match the tone of the ship’s(?) floor.

HE’S TRYING TO BLEND IN.

HE KNOWS HE’S IN DANGER AND HE’S SCARED AND DOESN’T WANT TO BE SEEN.

SHHHHH NO BABY OCTOPUS COME HERE IT’S OKAY <3

I don’t know how many times I can reblog this, but holy fuck octopi are cool.

Very intelligent animal.

Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the super fluidity of super cooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (he proposed the Parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams

The Best April Fools' Prank (That I Shall Ever Do)

Once upon a time, I decided that it was my solemn obligation to prank my friends before we graduated.

So…I made Hogwarts Acceptance letters. A lot of them. Because who isn’t still waiting for their freaking letter to arrive?

My hand hated me so much. Also, cursive G is the worst.

Letters were posted. All was well.

Until this happened…

What the-?

This is literally the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

micropolisnyc:

Does the very geography of Manhattan make it more inviting to immigrants and other newcomers?

The idea came up during a long walk I took down Broadway with Becky Cooper, the author of “Mapping Manhattan,” and Adam Gopnik of The New Yorker, who wrote the introduction.

“Mapping Manhattan” is a crowdsourcing project that uncovers the intense emotional associations New Yorkers have with the island. Becky wandered about the city, handing out blank maps to people on the street and asking them to scrawl away. She also roped in celebrity contributors, like Yoko Ono and Australian supermodel Nicole Trunfio.

Love came up, as did sex, hate, prostitution, death, and Patricia Marx’s lost gloves.

But on our walk, we kept returning to geography, and the street grid that defines Manhattan.

“The grid plan that makes New York so distinct is one that in a certain sense cancels personality,” said Gopnik. “Whereas Paris and London are both, in a certain sense, organic cities, they’ve grown up over a long period of time. The irrationality of their structure is a reflection of that long history, that’s why you need to take 2 years to learn how to become a taxi driver in London. New York has a super impersonal plan. But it takes on a private impress. That corner on the absolutely rectilinear grid, of 23rd and Broadway, becomes your corner.”

“I feel like the grid pattern actually invites personality,” said Cooper, “because of how non-specific it is. Because the second you come here you feel you own a part of it. There isn’t this barrier to entry, there isn’t this exclusivity of the person who’s grown up here.”
