now, it's a little early to be a downer, but if I hear someone say "gitta" in place of "get to" again this morning, I'm gonna lose my mind. Like, gone.

The mind twisting photography of Thomas Barbey. Yes, photography.


Thomas Barbèy grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, across the street from the “Caran D'ache” factory, the largest manufacturer of art supplies. He started drawing seriously at the age of 13, using black “encre de Chine” and gouaches for color. His influences were Philippe Druillet, Roger Dean and H.R. Giger. After living in Geneva for 17 years and designing posters for musical bands, he decided to move to Italy, where he lived in Milan for 15 years making a living as a successful recording artist, lyricist and fashion photographer.[1]

Do you have this sign of physical evolution?
 

Does a tendon protrude from your wrist?

http://cdn.davidwolfe.com/wp-content...FI-759x419.jpg

It turns out that if you have a tendon protruding from the underside of your wrist, you actually have physical signs of evolution attached to your body

But neat as it is, other than spooking your friends with Machinist impressions, a protruding wrist tendon doesn’t really have a purpose; therefore it’s known as a vestigial structure.

Vestigial structures are body traits left over from evolution that have no discernible use for us modern humans. That includes things like tailbones, goosebumps and that pesky appendix. These are different from other traits humans have evolved to no longer require because instead of phasing out entirely – like the tail – they remain present in the body for reasons that remain a mystery to many scientists.

It’s known as the palmaris longus and it turns out most people have it – in fact, those of us who don’t are actually reasonably rare at 14% of the general population.

It is believed that the palmaris longus was used by humans years ago to activate the wrist’s flexibility. However, it has no effect on the modern human’s body.

In fact, the tendon’s presence is so benign that it’s very common for it to be removed and used in tendon grafts or cosmetic surgery.

Wombat -cuddler contest promotes Tasmania.


An online competition to become the "chief cuddler" of a baby wombat in Tasmania, has made the tiny marsupial an online celebrity.

Eight-month-old Derek was rescued from his mother's pouch after she was hit by a car.

He is being cared for by wombat experts on Flinders Island, between Tasmania and mainland Australia, and will eventually be returned to the wild.

Derek is being looked after by Kate Mooney, known as the "Wombat Lady of Flinders Island", who has cared for the island's orphaned wombat joeys for two decades.

Samsung just patented contact lens with built in camera.

Samsung just took another step into science fiction. South Korea has just granted the tech giant a patent for contact lenses with a display that can project images straight into the user's eye. The news comes from a Samsung-centric blog SamMobile.

The lenses are equipped with a built-in camera and sensors that can be controlled simply by blinking. Content is sent to your smartphone through embedded antennas. This is where the data is processed.

It seems that Samsung is developing the smart contact lenses as an alternative to creating improved augmented reality experiences over the current crop of wearables, reports SamMobile.

With contact lenses instead of glasses, users will be able to enjoy augmented reality content more discreetly.

Inky the octopus pulls a 'Nemo'

The great escape: Inky the octopus legs it to freedom from aquarium

“The staff and I have been pretty sad. But then, this is Inky, and he’s always been a bit of a surprise octopus.”

Reiss Jenkinson, exhibits keeper at the National Aquarium, said he was absolutely certain Inky was not “taken” or “stolen”.

“I understand the nature of octopus behaviour very well,” he said. “I have seen octopus on boats slip through bilge pumps. And the security here is too tight for anyone to take Inky, and why would they?”

Because octopuses have no bones they are able to fit into extremely small spaces, and have been filmed squeezing through gaps the size of coins. They are also understood to be extremely intelligent and capable of using tools.

Ah, on to freedom for Inky. There's fun video at the website of Inky's fellow octopuses escaping from various places along with pictures of Inky's escape route.
