Human Skull, Peru, 2000
All that remains of the Peruvian cloud people, the Chachapoya, lie in muddy tombs such as this one on the eastern slopes of the Andes. The ancient culture, which built mountaintop fortresses and fiercely resisted the Inca, survived from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Many of the trinkets the Chachapoya buried with their dead have been lost to looters over the centuries.

I don’t remember why I saved this. I don’t remember where I found it.
Needless to say that when I refound it in my picture folder I nervously lol’d.

I’m not sure if this is an original Bettie Page photo or a look-alike, since I can’t see her face. Either way, I think it’s awesome
Cassowaries
Cassowaries are the world’s most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows. They are very unpredictable, aggressive creatures, especially if wounded or cornered. All cassowaries are usually shy birds of the deep forest, adept at disappearing long before a human knows they are there. The Southern Cassowary is the second heaviest extant bird in the world after the ostrich. It is third tallest after the ostrich and emu. Wounded or cornered birds are particularly dangerous. Cassowaries, deftly using their surroundings to conceal their movements, have been known to out-flank organized groups of human predators. Cassowaries are considered to be one of the most dangerous animals to keep in zoos, based on the frequency and severity of injuries incurred by zookeepers.

Industrial Hemp
Industrial hemp has many uses, including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, health food, and fuel. It is one of the fastest growing biomasses known, and one of the earliest domesticated plants known. It also runs parallel with the “Green Future” objectives that are becoming increasingly popular. Hemp requires little to no pesticides, no herbicides, controls erosion of the topsoil, and produces oxygen. Furthermore, hemp can be used to replace many potentially harmful products, such as tree paper (the processing of which uses bleaches and other toxic chemicals, and contributes to deforestation), cosmetics, and plastics, most of which are petroleum-based and do not decompose easily.

Asteroid leaves tracks
Tags:APOD, Science!, Space, Wallpaper
Explanation: On October 7, the early dawn over northern Sudan revealed this twisted, high altitude trail. Captured in a video frame, the long-lasting persistent train is from the impact of a small asteroid cataloged as 2008 TC3. That event was remarkable because it was the first time an asteroid was detected in space before crashing into planet Earth’s atmosphere. In fact, after astronomers discovered 2008 TC3, the time and location of its impact were predicted based on follow-up observations. Later, the impact predictions were confirmed by sensors, including a Meteosat-8 image of a bright flash in the atmosphere. Astronomers are now hoping for more reports of local ground-based observations of what must have been a brilliant meteor streaking through Sudan’s night sky. Additional reports could improve the chances of recovering meteorites.

A rather large one I think. This one is bigger than the (mostly) dead ones that would wash up at Great Kills Gateway Beach in SI, NY. I’ve been stung once by a (mostly) dead one and that hurt like a motherfucker.

The Double Ring Galaxies of Arp 147 from Hubble
Tags:APOD, Science!, Space, Wallpaper
Explanation: How could a galaxy become shaped like a ring? Even more strange: how could two? The rim of the blue galaxy pictured on the right shows an immense ring-like structure 30,000 light years in diameter composed of newly formed, extremely bright, massive stars. This blue galaxy is part of the interacting galaxy system known as Arp 147, and shows a ring because it has recently collided with the other galaxy in the frame, the red galaxy on the left. Unusually, even this red galaxy shows a ring like band, although it is seen nearly edge-on. When galaxies collide, they pass through each other — their individual stars rarely come into contact. Clouds of interstellar gas and dust become condensed, causing a wave of star formation to move out from the impact point like a ripple across the surface of a pond. The above image was taken last week by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to demonstrate the ability of its Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 after some recent technical difficulties.

New addition to the Tiki Web Group
I’ve made an addition to the TWG: Internet-D think of it as “internet discussion” and not as “internet diahrea” ok? I realized that I had a hole in my life when I was trying to share links with a friend and the damn link wouldn’t work, and I was trying to tell 10 people the same thing at the same time with the same witty jokes.
Also, there’s someone from MCS posting over there too, so you’ll recognize more then just my name 😉 So please visit Internet-D and add to the conversation and submit content and all that stuff. If you think it’s too smart for MCS and has a story (and a link) behind it, then try it out at Internet-D!
