I've said it before folks, these things are terrifying. Honestly I don't think you could pay me enough to go into non-chlorinated water.

And this is what cools it to 5 miliKelvin(mK). For those keeping track, that's 500 times colder than interstellar space or 0.005 degrees above absolute zero. Five thousandths of a degree from all things in the entire universe stopping on the subatomic level. Why is that ever necessary?

Seriously folks, Japanese people should be feared. I mean come one, they are tiny highly pressurized bodies and wrapped around black holes! There is nothing safe about that.

This is a Tremoctopus, quite possibly the strangest cephalopod out there. It does't dispense a cloud of ink like other octopi but instead unfurls a cape-like membrane to fool predators into think it's much larger than it actually is. The membrane tears away like a lizard's tail as well and the tremoctopus just grows it back. Stranger yet is the size difference between the male and female of the species, the male being about the size of a walnut and the female being up to 6ft in length.

(5:54:53 PM) strages: yeah it is when you think about it, a closet full of mice
(5:55:33 PM) alicialuewho: and i'm imagining that they're all stacked up in the form of whatever they're replacing so there are more than several shirts of mice and a few board games of mice...

....and thank goodness it's the US out of the gate first on this.
Some of you may recall a previous fear mongering post where I told you about a worm that infects crickets and upon reaching adulthood causes the cricket to head toward the nearest body of water and jump in drowning itself so the worm may emerge and breed.....
......seriously folks I can't make this stuff up. This kind of shit is why there are people who are afraid to go outside.
