The penguins of Madagascar “smile and wave boys” shaped a generation
Thank you for 100k. As per the rules of this site, a dark web hitman has been dispatched to take me out the second we hit 6 digits. It’s been a real pleasure serving with you, boys
Due to colder weather and fewer ponds, the country has no mosquito population …except for one that’s been in a jar of alcohol at the Icelandic Institute of Natural History since the 1980s, when a University of Iceland biologist caught it inside an airplane.
“I chased it around the cabin until I got it… It’s the only mosquito I’ve ever found in Iceland.”
when pompeii was first being excavated and studied ppl were writing about how there were literal hundreds of brothels. every street and every corner. and this was kind of accepted for a couple of years before someone went “hey that doesn’t actually make any sense at all. what are you using as proof there are so many brothels? what’s the criteria for it to count?” and it turned out ppl were like “oh if there’s a dick drawn on it it’s a brothel.”
so anyway after re-evaluating the criteria there’s only one single building in all of pompeii that researchers are pretty sure was a brothel.
while the “picture of penis = brothel” thing IS really dumb it does provide the wonderful mental image of archaeologists just going around and marking every dick they find on a map and growing more and more horrified and disgusted
