[SkepticalCitizen @SkepticalCitiz5]

Sea monsters are not uncommon on 1500s maps. Would a professional cartographer really put "imaginary" creatures on a map?

This is the Prister aka Physeter aka Pistrix from Olaus Magnus’ 1539 Carta Marina. Described as "a huge, aggressive whale-like beast, about 200 cubits (roughly 90 m) long, with a warthog-like face, tusks, and two blowholes on its back that shoot powerful jets of water capable of swamping ships."

The original woodcut is uncolored but the color is interesting.

Tiger Mountain Rapids at Marine World Africa USA. Redwood City, 1985.

There comes a point where you’ve been around long enough to know the good things never last as long as you wish they would.

Growing up, my mom would take my sister and I to Marine World all the time. She’s so deeply tied to those memories that I can’t picture the park without seeing her there beside us.

As the years go by, you realize that your parents won’t be here forever and that you want to hold on to them for as long as you can before they’re gone.

When you have your own kids, you know that one day they’ll grow up and go on to live their own lives. Hopefully as the years go by and you get older, your kids will want to hold on to you for as long as they can.

There’s a certain kind of comfort in racing down a water slide.

No, you can’t go back to 1992.

This is what a day at Marine World looked like back in the early 1990s.

The park started out in Redwood City back in 1968 as Marine World Africa USA. It moved to Vallejo in 1986, and when Six Flags bought it in 1999 they renamed it Six Flags Marine World.

Then in 2007 it got its current name, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, to showcase the perfect mix of marine animals, wildlife, and amusement park rides all in one place.

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. As a child psychologist, it’s a perfect example of joint attention, preverbal communication, and coregulation.
