Primordial Ooze Waterfall
via atlasobscura.com
"This five-story, blood-red waterfall pours very slowly out of the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys. Roughly 2 million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist without heat, light, or oxygen, and are essentially the definition of "primordial ooze.""

Maunsell Army Sea Forts
via atlasobscura.com
"Rising from the water like rusty invaders out of H.G. Wells, the Maunsell Army Forts in the Thames Estuary are decaying reminders of the darkest days of World War II. Part of the Thames Estuary defense network, the anti-aircraft tower-forts were constructed in 1942, with each fort consisting of a cluster of seven stilted buildings surrounding a central command tower. When operational, catwalks connected the buildings. Built on land and then transported to their watery homes, the forts were designed by Guy Maunsell, a British civil engineer, later known for innovations in concrete bridge design. Originally there were three of these forts, but only two are left standing: the Redsands Fort and the Shivering Sands Fort."

This reminds me of when I was a kid and on Christmas Day a Tonka toy truck got stuck in our cat's balls. Poor Pumpkin.

Ultimate Badass: Roger Ebert
via www.esquire.com
As Ebert's body has been claimed by cancer, his writing his sharper and tighter than ever - even though he hasn't been able to talk for four years. He's not afraid to smile and pose for a national magazine with no frigging jaw. It's like the brush with death has made him more and more creatively fearless. He hysterically FUNNY and this picture may look awful but his legacy is AWESOME.

Strange Abandoned Homes in Taipei
via planetoddity.com
"San Zhai looks like an abandoned housing complex from Taipei, Taiwan. The rounded domes of the houses are an architectural delight and fantastically futuristic. The houses were built in the early 1980’s and targeted at rich Taipei residents of that time. The homes were built far from the city and served as homes for vacation or rehabilitation."
