Let\’s see who can name them all!

I can\’t remember the names of only a few of them, especially that stupid overgrown baby duck.

FLCL

aka “Fooly Cooly”, “Furi Kuri”, etc. A six-episode series from Gainax.

Quite possibly the most demented anime I\’ve ever watched –and I mean that in a good way. I may not have understood it, but I couldn\’t take my eyes off of it.

Clusterfuck

Sad Spider

Coil

If anyone can identify this, feel free. I dug it out of an old image folder file and have no memory of where I got it from. It’s copper (and I’m only saying that ’cause it’s part of the namefile,) so probably used in some electrical application, and it’s large (about man-height –if it’s solid, it likely weighs a few tons). Beyond that I have no idea.

Greek Graffiti

Pictures of graffiti I took while exploring Athens. Most of the images were captured in residential communities.

As best I can figure, the “Escaping Athens” work is translated as “Aesthetics, Aesthetics, Aesthetics”.

Valdore-class warbird

What I assume to be the successor to the Romulan warbirds I\’ve been seeing since the first season of Star Trek: TNG. Too bad they made their debut in the last shitty film, Nemesis.

Lunar Diamond

Explanation: Cameras around the globe pointed skyward this week to capture the spectacular conjunction of a crescent Moon and bright planets Venus and Jupiter. But astronomer-artist Deirdre Kelleghan recorded her observations in sketches of the celestial event. From Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland, her small telescope allowed her to follow the accompanying lunar occultation as a brilliant Venus disappeared behind the Moon\’s dark edge, then reappeared along the bright lunar limb. Her lovely drawing of the reemergence of Venus was made with pastels and conte crayons on A3 size paper under very cold conditions. She remarks, “The view as Venus once again sparkled like a diamond stuck on the moon was stunning.”

Labtayt Sulci on Saturn’s Enceladus

Explanation: Do some surface features on Enceladus roll like a conveyor belt? A leading interpretation of recent images taken of Saturn\’s most explosive moon indicate that they do. This form of asymmetric tectonic activity, very unusual on Earth, likely holds clues to the internal structure of Enceladus, which may contain subsurface seas where life might be able to develop. Pictured above is a composite of 28 images taken by the robotic Cassini spacecraft in October just after swooping by the ice-spewing orb. Inspection of these images show clear tectonic displacements where large portions of the surface all appear to move all in one direction. Near the top of the image appears one of the most prominent tectonic divides: Labtayt Sulci, a canyon about one kilometer deep.

I don\’t know why, but it seems like a good idea.

Burning man mantis

Google\’d “godzilla hump” and filtered extra large images, and found this praying mantis for the burning man festival thing. Was kind of a coincidence that I had done a search for praying mantis just before that after seeing the post on MCS with the mantis and dog.

Nacreous Clouds

Nacreous or “mother of pearl” clouds are made of microscopic ice crystals floating in the stratosphere 9 to 16 miles high. These clouds gather when the temperature in the polar stratosphere drops below -85 C. Because of that numbing threshold, they tend to appear only during winter over cold places such as Scandinavia, Alaska and Iceland.

Nacreous clouds are supposed to be rare, yet sky watchers in Scandinavia has spotted them frequently during the past two weeks. Could this be a “nacreous storm”? A similar, mysterious abundance of nacreous clouds occurred in January 2008; it could be happening again. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for mother of pearl during the twilight hours after sunset or before sunrise.

Large Bee Fly (Bombylius major)

The Large Bee Fly (Bombylius major) is a bee mimic, squat and very hairy, 14 to 18 mm in length and a wingspan around 24 mm. Adults feed by means of their very long proboscises on the nectar of many species of flower. The species is widely distributed throughout the whole northern hemisphere and in North Africa, and is very well known.

Some Bad News and Some VERY Bad News

Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news.

Patient: Well, you might as well give me the bad news first.

Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live.

Patient: 24 hours! That’s terrible! What could be worse? What’s the very bad news?

Doctor: I’ve been trying to reach you since yesterday.
