I love when fantasy series have a dude called something like Stephen the All-Seeing, Keeper of the Demon Sword, hero of the Volcano Age. But in some tiny village, he's known as Bees Steve, that weird guy who loves beekeeping. The more uppercase titles the legend has, the funnier the contrast is.

rough first week for humans at the intergalactic council. everyone was really nice but we spent a lot of time at orientation trying to figure out what made us unique among all the galaxy's species. turns out we're the only ones who thought to deep fry cheese. that's it. we're the fried cheese planet

In Canada, the mnemonic for the names of the Great Lakes is "HOMES": Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior. The US used to use the same mnemonic, but now that Lake Ontario is "Lake America" on their side of the border, they have "SHAME."

The proto-Effin’ Birds was my Tumblr “Swear Trek”. It opened a lot of doors for me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. I don’t have plans to revive it (one daily comic is enough work), just wanted to thank it for getting me here on this 60th anniversary of Star Trek.

Kurt Füchslin captured this video of frozen methane bubbles in Sihlsee (Lake Sihl) in Switzerland. Deep in the depths, bacteria break down decaying organic matter, producing bubbles of methane. As they reach the thickening surface ice, they're trapped as flammable fart pancakes/ice art.
