FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Yoknapatawpha County is a fictional county created by American author William Faulkner as a setting for many of his novels. It is widely believed by scholars^[who?] that Lafayette County, Mississippi is the basis for Yoknapatawpha County. Faulkner would often refer to it as “my apocryphal county.”

I’ve been on a ferry a couple times in my life thus-far.. ahhh to be outside on a ferry… on a rainy day. Wind + Rain + Ferry = Excellence.

Oh raaaaain -
How I love your watery, splashy, splooshy, sloshy-in-your-shoes-from-too-much, goodness.
Will you marry me? :)
Though, to be fair, you don’t visit quite as often as I’d care for. Perhaps we should go to couples counselling :P

[ D: more about rain than ferries ohwell *giggle*]

Among the extraordinary adaptations driven by sperm competition is the cooperative behaviour of spermatozoa. By forming cooperative groups, sperm can increase their swimming velocity and thereby gain an advantage in intermale sperm competition. Accordingly, selection should favour cooperation of the most closely related sperm to maximize fitness. Here we show that sperm of deer mice (genus Peromyscus) form motile aggregations, then we use this system to test predictions of sperm cooperation. We find that sperm aggregate more often with conspecific than heterospecific sperm, suggesting that individual sperm can discriminate on the basis of genetic relatedness. Via.

coolest AND creepiest shit ever?

Rockets are big, and fast, and wooshy, and they bring back alien rocks with them :)

I like rockets.

AND rocket salad.. although it’s not fast like a big wooshy rocket, it’s still pretty freaking rad. That’s for sure.
