Ducks, Ducks, and MOAR DUCKS
I thought these duck pictures were a little better than the Hundreds of Ducks post.
(the duck army belongs to a friend’s husband, and the other was taken by my mother at our local “carnival”)
Anticrepuscular Rays Over Colorado
Explanation: What’s happening over the horizon? Although the scene may appear somehow supernatural, nothing more unusual is occurring than a setting Sun and some well placed clouds. Pictured above are anticrepuscular rays. To understand them, start by picturing common crepuscular rays that are seen any time that sunlight pours though scattered clouds. Now although sunlight indeed travels along straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles. Therefore, the crepuscular rays from a setting (or rising) sun will appear to re-converge on the other side of the sky. At the anti-solar point 180 degrees around from the Sun, they are referred to as anticrepuscular rays. Pictured above is a particularly striking set of anticrepuscular rays photographed in 2001 from a moving car just outside of Boulder, Colorado, USA.

The Pregnant Man
Tags:Motivational Posters, Science!, Sexy, WTF
Thomas Trace Beatie, a transgendered man born Tracy LaGondino, reversed hormone replacement and carried a child to term. He had not menstruated in 8 years. His wife, Nancy Beatie, developed sympathy pregnancy and was able to breast feed their daughter, Susan Juliet Beatie. He also did not appear to shave during the pregancy.
Transformer Motorcycle
I was going through some images from January 2006 and found these. My buddy from Ireland came to visit that month and brought this to me for Christmas. 🙂
It’s some generic transformer toy but the fact that it’s supposed to be the motorcycle I owned at the time makes it pretty kewl.
Black Cat Bath
Am I the only one who never gives my cat a bath? I can only remember once or twice giving any of my cats a bath, and that was due to fleas.

Tree Frog, Pacific Islands
Tags:Cute As Hell Animals, Science!
A tree frog shows off its broad and effective grip while clinging to a tree trunk in the Pacific Islands. Frogsâ€â€particularly tropical speciesâ€â€are vanishing at alarming rates, in part due to disease epidemics attributed to climate change. Amphibian skin is incredibly thin, making frogs acutely susceptible to changes in temperature, humidity, or water quality.

Fomalhaut b
Tags:APOD, Science!, Space, Wallpaper
Explanation: Fomalhaut (sounds like “foam-a-lot”) is a bright, young, star, a short 25 light-years from planet Earth in the direction of the constellation Piscis Austrinus. In this sharp composite from the Hubble Space Telescope, Fomalhaut’s surrounding ring of dusty debris is imaged in detail, with overwhelming glare from the star masked by an occulting disk in the camera’s coronagraph. Astronomers now identify, the tiny point of light in the small box at the right as a planet about 3 times the mass of Jupiter orbiting 10.7 billion miles from the star (almost 14 times the Sun-Jupiter distance). Designated Fomalhaut b, the massive planet probably shapes and maintains the ring’s relatively sharp inner edge, while the ring itself is likely a larger, younger analog of our own Kuiper Belt – the solar system’s outer reservoir of icy bodies. The Hubble data represent the first visible-light image of a planet circling another star. .

Monkey on his back

“A monkey rides on the back of a U.S. Army soldier October 23, 2008 at combat outpost Dallas in the Kunar Province of eastern Afghanistan. The monkey went along as a temporary mascot with soldiers who were switching out with comrades who had been in the remote outpost for a week. (John Moore/Getty Images)”

The Hip Live Between Us
Done by a former member of the The Tragically Hip, Davis Manning, this mural in a back alley behind a tattoo parlor in Kingston, ON, depicts the impact the band was having on his relationship with his girlfriend. In 1986 Manning eventually chose his girlfriend, while the band went on to become superstars in Canada.
Originally not realizing that Manning drew the mural (thinking instead that a fan did it and that they were actually making it big), the band thought it would be a good album name, using “live” as an adjective rather than a verb. They named their 1996 live album “The Hip Live Between Us” after it.
I live in Kingston, and unfortunately I never saw it before it was repainted

Eel Blenny
Tiny blennies such as this spinyhead poke out from the coral in Cuba’s Cayo Largo, always on the lookout for edible items within darting reach. “They are no bigger than an infant’s finger, but they are tigersâ€â€extremely aggressive and territorial,” says photographer David Doubilet. “They seem to have no concept of their own size.”

Monkey Waiters
In a Japanese “sake house” in the city of Utsunomiya, north of Tokyo, 2 macaque monkeys, called Yatchan and Fukuchan work as waiters. Most of the customers tip them with boiled soya-beans. The owner Kaoru Otsuka only has them work 2 hour shifts so that he doesn’t violate the animal rights regulations.
