Japanese Giant Hornet

Yaaaag!!! Why did I click on the link? Why did I click on the link??? It’s the five Most Horrifying Bugs in the World. Well you can just rock me to sleep tonight. (HT Retrospectacle).

Haunting photo essay on Kolmanskop in Namibia, a Ghost Town Sinking into the Sand Dunes.

This video covering millions of years of Evolution in 5 minutes is from the Discovery Channel’s Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, but it’s even cooler now for the jammin’ rock music playing with it! Now evolve to some Skynrd! Free Bird! w00t! (HT Pharyngula)

Wired has cool infographic, The Life Cycle of a Blog Post, which is way too complicated for this blog. I click Publish and my computer makes this flushing toilet noise.

Now for a humorous antidote to the first link in this post: Understanding Art for Geeks (HT Clint)

I watched a special about those hornets before — saw the whole battle. I think I calculated that each hornet killed a bee every 10 seconds, for 3 hrs straight. I still have it…

That 5-minute evolution video… I thought its music was Tool at first, then Marilyn Manson, and am finally realizing that was Nine Inch Nails. Durr.

As for the rest of the bugs… shudder….
