Whale statue in the middle of the woods - Adrian Villar Rojas, Argentina (2009)
My friend in a cosplay I made for her. Also my pictures too.
From the Department of Awesome Natural Wonders come these mysterious patterns on the ocean floor off the southern coast of Japan. Japanese scuba diver and photographer Yoji Ookata, who has spent the last 50 years exploring and documenting his underwater discoveries off the coast of Japan, spotted these beautiful and puzzling patterns in the sand, nearly six feet in diameter and 80 feet below sea level, during a dive near Amami Oshima at the southern tip of the country.
So what happened next? Are these rippling geometric patterns the equivalent of crop circles on the seafloor? Not quite, but the answer is still a good one. Colossal explains:
“He soon returned with colleagues and a television crew from the nature program NHK to document the origins what he dubbed the “mystery circle.”
Using underwater cameras the team discovered the artist is a small puffer fish only a few inches in length that swims tirelessly through the day and night to create these vast organic sculptures using the gesture of a single fin. Through careful observation the team found the circles serve a variety of crucial ecological functions, the most important of which is to attract mates. Apparently the female fish are attracted to the hills and valleys within the sand and traverse them carefully to discover the male fish where the pair eventually lay eggs at the circle’s center, the grooves later acting as a natural buffer to ocean currents that protect the delicate offspring. Scientists also learned that the more ridges contained within the sculpture resulted in a much greater likelihood of the fish pairing. To learn more about the circles check out the full scoop over on Spoon and Tamago, and you can see two high resolution desktop photos courtesy of NHK here.”
Busy little pufferfish boys wooing potential mates by sculpting the sand with their bodies. As far as we’re concerned, that’s pretty awesome!

And I have just crossed the 100 follower milestone. Thank you to everyone who have stuck with me and also to all you new people who just followed me. Funny enough though my counter is at 103, its 3 to high, I counted. But from now on I will just not care that it is wrong, to bothersome to keep track of when you get into the high numbers. I wanted to make a small celebration post with my lovely AI friend GLaDOS. Awesome character from my all time favorite game, Portal. Links to the original pages are as always down here:

And just wanted to add that if anyone of you happen to play some PC games that I also play, then I fold think it super fun to play with y’all sometimes. You could send me an ask to see if I have the game you want to play or not. Right now I’m waiting for THIS to start. And when It does I’ll try to play ME3 as much as possible, even though I disconnect fairly often, I want to try and get some new classes. The N7 Paladin looks so badass, thouhg I still love my Turian Sentinel, Gazet ^^ So keep calm folks, shoot some reapers and keep being awesome!
