Random Quote
(Complete listing)Allegations by U.S. presidential candidate Pat Robertson that the Soviet Union has placed nuclear missiles in Cuba are 'wild fantasy,' the official Soviet news agency Tass said yesterday. 'Of course it is up to the Americans themselves to decide who will be the next occupant of the White House. But in this case we are dealing with problems concerning international security, concerning all,' Tass said. 'That is why Robertson's wild fantasy gives rise to a legitimate question: How is it that such an irresponsible politician could at all become a candidate for the presidency in such a country as the United States?'

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.
