Mind-blowing quote of the day, from a woman who studies underwater volcanoes:

“Right now, one or two coal-fired power plants provide as much CO2 to the atmosphere as all the volcanoes on the planets.”

#StValentine (the guy giving us the opportunity to spend vast amounts on money to increase our chances of intercourse) is the patron saint of lovers, #beekeeping and epilepsy.

If that isn't the description of relationships and love, then I don't know what is #ValentinesDay

And that is why #scihub is critical to us #ECR peeps!

"What? Someone pushed Timmy in the well?" he said.

"Bark!"

And the dog pushed him in too.

We have reached the sinking site of the Endurance! The Agulhas II, led by Captain K. Bengu, assisted by F. Lighthelm and VL John Shears, has led us through heavy pack ice. Exploration Director, Mensun Bound, has said ‘we are the first people here since Shackleton and his men!’

@mynameisjerm There is a Russian novel called The Last Ringbearer, in which the orcs are on the cusp of the industrial revolution. Then Gandalf and the elves go all imperialist, commits orc genocide to oppress the educated Mordorian classes. #notallculturesareequal #elvishprivilege
