Random Quote
These gods did not even know the shape of the worlds they had created, but supposed them perfectly flat. Some thought the day could be lengthened by stopping the sun, that the blowing of horns could throw down the walls of a city, and all knew so little of the real nature of the people they had created, that they commanded the people to love them. Some were so ignorant as to suppose that man could believe just as he might desire, or as they might command, and that to be governed by observation, reason, and experience was a most foul and damning sin. None of these gods could give a true account of the creation of this little earth. All were woefully deficient in geology and astronomy. As a rule, they were most miserable legislators, and as executives, they were far inferior to the average of American presidents.
[Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872]

Cute, but you're still 72 votes behind and they have kittens.

Make that 51, and remember: it was a mutant kitten.

The last episode of Planet Earth had some great footage of baby cephalopods doing the whole blinking colourspot thing.

That's the most beautiful thing I have seen all week. I don't think that poets have words to express beauty such as this, so you must tell me: is the eye pigmentation in the photo(micrograph) restricted to the expression domain of PAX6?

That is cuter than any human baby I have ever seen.
