Lack of Posting...
Sorry for the lack of postings everyone. I have recently received control of the Slater Museum of Natural History's Facebook page where I regularly post a variety of my ponderings. If you'd like to check out some of those potent, perplexing ponderables click here!
Keep a look-out for more ponderables posted right here as well!
And for good measure, a picture of a tree-shrew pooping in a pitcher plant:

Happy Birthday, Me!
My blog has officially turned one year old!
In this same amount of time, I could have:
- cultured 37 generations of fruit flies for genetic study,
- mastered two complete languages or twelve foreign alphabets,
- written 315 moderately-sized novels and one work of young-adult fiction,
- constructed 52 two-room houses for those in poverty,
- woven five 4' x 6' oriental rugs,
- sailed around the world four-and-a-half times,
- driven the Pan-American Highway ten times by motorcycle,
- slept,
- or kept-up on my schoolwork.

Random Thought of the Day
Remember a while back, I posted about the Power of Words.
This post was a little long (I mean, very long) and you probably didn't read it, but here's a great video illustrating everything I hoped you would learn from my "Power of Words" post.
The words we use to describe color actually change the way we see color!
And as a little bonus, here's the RadioLab episode on this very topic:
Abstract things like time, thought, and understanding don't exist unless we have words for thinking about them...

Random Thought of the Day
There are over 120 million Christmas Island Crabs on Christmas Island.
That's not too extraordinary if you consider the fact that the crabs usually spend their time scattered throughout the dense forests on Christmas Island.
But once a year, they make a daring trip from the inland forests to the ocean shores to breed.
120 million crabs is much more impressive when you're watching them crawl across the island's highways and houses...
