They made a slug with abs. But as slugs don't have a pelvis, do the abs carry on all the way down?

okay I know everyone loved the decaf olympics, but now it's finally time for the real stuff (NEAR TOTAL BLINDNESS ALPINE SKIING)

Oh dear. I have purged the feelings caused by The Busy Week by planning some plans and purchasing unwise things for inadvisable activities.

Fully the vibe of 'student having a go since nobody else is', and I have to respect that, even if I cannot enjoy it.

Uhoh. Just support them both as best you can. Sometimes things need time. x

It's goth/alt nights and I don't really know what's going on. It's just feels to me like someone who hasn't learned how to DJ? Like a sort of weird eternal scroll experience - no consistency, no themes, just pain (and not in the fun way)...

The WORST nights I have been to recently are in Cardiff where there is a DJ on at a baffling amount of nights who plays whatever he wants at whatever volume he fancies for as long as he likes with no mixing. I'm not sure I've heard him play an entire track yet. It's an experience.

Friend just closed down a night because co-DJ #1 has been playing the same set since 1996 and co-DJ #2 played things straight from YouTube WITH THE ADS IN.

(I went twice and hated it both times. He was very much 'don't come - it's AWFUL.')

Closer look at the skull, which is displayed on its side so the palate is facing us.

This acid-prepped pterosaur skull is displayed in a humidity-controlled case within a case to help maintain the immaculately preserved, paper-thin bones. #FossilFriday

Image from the interior of an Attic red-figure kylix depicting the naked body of Jason, helpfully labeled, hanging out of the dragon’s mouth.  The Golden Fleece is draped over a tree in the background.  Helmeted Athena stands in front of the dragon, a spear in one hand and an owl in the other.

I want you all to appreciate this Attic kylix from the 470s BC depicting the scene where Jason is supposed to be killing the Colchian dragon that guards the Golden Fleece. Except for some reason, it’s either swallowing or barfing him while Athena checks in.

The 15th Anniversary Escape Pod book, but the typefaces makes it look a bit like ESCAPE POO.

I think one of these books would benefit from a different font.

Home. I was hoping the bottle in the bottom of the fridge was a beer - but it's more bloody champagne.

(Is it bad to open and drink a bottle of champagne on a Friday night?)

Don't think about this too hard. It can only lead to salacious spider diagrams best left in the late 90s.

Your reminder that in the opening sequence of Skyfall, Bond takes cover in the market behind crates of oranges, which appear to provide ample protection against a barrage of uranium-tipped bullets coming his way.

You were a welcome distraction as you are neither sticky (to my knowledge) or need putting in a cupboard/bin/the sea.

Do NOT think about mushrooms.

Have no thoughts about the mycelium network of the ancient woods.
