Human skeleton compared to a gorilla skeleton.

As a lay person, it looks like one evolved from the other.

Elysia cholorotica, a sea slug found off the U.S. East Coast, is the first animal discovered to produce the plant pigment chlorophyll and can carry out photosynthesis.

As a lay person, it looks like one evolved from the other.

The shortened limbs - due to lazy lifestyle - prove it all...

Elysia cholorotica, a sea slug found off the U.S. East Coast, is the first animal discovered to produce the plant pigment chlorophyll and can carry out photosynthesis.

I had to look this up.

The slug does not produce chlorophyll. It takes it from algae it eats.

What I knew before and had in my marine tank at home is the tridacna shell. It lives symbiotic with algae embedded in its tissue. It provides the algae with minerals and consumes their produce. The algae also give them their colour. This shell needs extremely bright light to sustain the algae and can't survive without.

Quite 'amazing' though not strictly a picture (which could have me rotting in a Thai dungeon), but on my way home just now (Sukhumvit southbound, before the lights at school 7/wat boon) there's this sign in bold red caps outside the car workshop:

"FUCK PRAYUTH IF YOU LIKE
PRAYUTH FUCK YOU TOO"

Can't imagine it's been there long, or will be when I next pass there at 5.

[Sleeper]

It's been there for at least 3 weeks. When I saw it, it was attached to the side of some sort of elongated motor cycle.

Now I'm waiting to see it on T-shirts

[jabir]

Wow, I pass there daily and only noticed it yesterday. Quite surprising it hasn't resulted in a less than calm and restrained approach to restore the desired image of our glorious leader of leaders.

Will it be the bib that step in to remove this national security threat, or the military?

Construction of the first Ferris Wheel, Chicago World's Fair (1893), a fascinating and bold project for its day.

Would be worth a fortune today, if it hadn't been junked; might even have made it to the Classic Car thread.
