A lot of people dont get off on this sort of dope, I like it for now, Its naive kids having a good time in their parents basements, because of the Internetathons extremely fast developments you may think any one can upload videos from you tube, add an effect here and their and whala but you didnt though did you? And if you did would you choose some cats dressed in babys clothing playing the trumpet or maybe some sand surfing videos from the 80’s. See these kids know, and that’s what i like about them and they don’t care about copyrights and shit like one of the guys from Metallica does. Any way heres one of them here: And my apologies if your not a kid

El Castellos musical steps. This is one of those thing were it probably isn’t true but im gonna choose to believe it anyway, until proven untrue of course. I like how New scientist magazine kind makes up for the lack of science fiction at the mo.

Kunstformen der Natur

discomedusae

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (Feb 16, 1834 – Aug 9, 1919), also written von Haeckel was a german biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist.

Von Haeckel was one clever fellow he discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including phylum, phylogeny, ecology and the kingdom Protista.

He even has a mountain here in NZ named after him, Mount Haeckel, a 2,941 m (9,650 ft).

What was really interesting about Von Haeckel tho, was his ability to illustrate the organism’s he was studying. The Most stunning of these illustrations are collated in his seminal publication  ‘Kunstformen der Natur‘, which has just been opened up for public consumption over at wiki commons, as the patent has recentley expired.
