Radiolarians
The 71st plate from German biologist Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur, showing radiolarians of the order Stephoidea. Radiolarians form intricate mineral skeletons, usually with a central capsule dividing the cell into inner and outer portions. Radiolarians are found as zooplankton throughout the ocean and are important diagnostic fossils, found from the Cambrian period onwards.

Tetris Storage Unit In Use
A couple of people were commenting in the earlier post of this that it didn’t look like it could support much; so i figured I’d do a repost of it with stuff in it. Pretty much just aimed at storminator actually.
Hail!
It’s hailing right now in Erie County, NY. Not quite golf ball sized, but the next best thing. You don’t want to get caught out in this!
Game over man!

Not Going Anywhere
This weekend a 120 hidden gardens in the city of Rotterdam opened for everybody to see. Mostly local residents showing their private gardens. Since Most of Rotterdam is build with inner courtyards surrounded by housing, you never get to see these private gardens and enjoy them.
This particular image was taken in the bloklandstraat in a courtyard named schoonoord, amidst of all the flowers, trees and gardendwarfs someone parked this rusty vehicle.
Foul beasts
These 2 woke me up one morning.
Once upon a mid-day dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten porn,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a quacking,
As of some one gently quacking, quacking at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `quacking at my chamber door –
Only this, and nothing more.’
Ceratopsians
Diagram showing the appearances and relative sizes of 18 basal species of Ceratopsians (frilled, beaked dinosaurs typified by Triceratops). Animals are shown in order of geologic stage from left to right and top to bottom, with species names and stage information as annotation.
Ceratopsians were beaked herbivores who lived in what are now North America and Asia, during the Cretaceous Period. Early members such as Psittacosaurus were small and bipedal. Later members, including ceratopsids like Centrosaurus and Triceratops, became very large quadrupeds and developed elaborate facial horns and a neck frill.

Multi-use liquor bottle
Sorry about the picture quality, just don’t make phone cameras like they used to. Pic of the most looked at bottle in the liquor store I work at…for obvious reasons.
Mt St Helens
Activity in the crater. They say the cone building in the crater will grown to the original height before the explosion in about 20 years. It is very active all the time. Here’s a web can link:

Montezuma’s Castle
I took these photos in 2002 while on The Laughlin River Run Motorcycle Rally.
Native American’s did some pretty nice architecture, considering the resources available.
Tetris Shelving Unit
My A-Level Design Tech project; storage unit shaped like the tetris blocks. It’s 1.3m high, 0.88m wide and it took me around 20 hours to cut, joint, assemble and paint it.
Fully working NES inside NES Cartridge
The Fami-Card.
You read right, the whole damn Nintendo Entertainment System is inside just one of its cartridges. Now for the ironic part; even though it’s inside an American cartridge, it’s meant for only play the original FamiCom (japanese) cartridges.
