Tonight is for fish facts, I guess.

I love this stuff. Playing Anthropeum had taught me there was a period of real whimsical pottery along the Andes in the mid 1st millennium CE.

If you have some money to throw at a worthy teacher, Danina is fundraising to fill a classroom library in an underfunded #Philadelphia high school. Donors Choose is matching donations 50% today. www.donorschoose.org/project/make...

What is the opposite of advertising?

Ocarina of Time is mostly about the differences between childhood and manhood, which mainly that boils down to having three pairs of shoes that you have to cycle through regularly instead of one.

If I understand this, proto-crocs saw the amount of work proto-birds were doing and said, "screw that, I'm gonna lie in water."

Me, nodding knowingly: The beaks.

Listen up. You know those horrible leg cramps you get in the middle of the night? Next time that shit happens point your toes UP, towards your head, not down. Ends that thing way faster, less agony. Something to do with antagonistic muscle groups or something like that
