Tortoise skeletons are the weirdest skeletons.
I never wondered what they looked like before. Wow. I literally just gasped. How neat!
Which is another reason you shouldn’t pick them up by their top shell
Everyone knows that you shouldn’t pick up a tortoise or turtle by their shell since their backbone is fused with it, but often it’s not really an easy thing to visualize how that works. Here’s a really cool image for that…
Almost NOBODY knows this, because people don’t bother to simply show you a fucking image like this in school so before i saw this on tumblr i thought a turtle was simply a loose animal in a shell like a snail

Music from Anne Boleyn’s songbook performed for first time in 500 years – ITV News
Music from a songbook believed to have belonged to Henry VIII’s second wife Anne Boleyn has been performed for the first time in 500 years. The songbook disappeared five centuries ago and has only recently been discovered. Dr David Skinner, Director of the Alamire Choir, said: “It gives us a glimpse as to who Anne Boleyn was before Henry VIII, before the tyrant”. The book is signed by the monarch and contains the motto of her father ‘Nowe Thus.’ Dr Suzannah Lipscomb, a Tudor historian, said: “The most interesting thing about Anne is what this music represents. She was a woman of great talents, of huge depth of intellect, real interests, who was pursuing all that was fashionable.”

If Aphrodite had stomach rolls then so can I
This is veryveryvery important. My wife was feeling down about herself the other night and asked me “why do I look like this?” And I immediately brought up a photo I had taken of a sculpture of Aphrodite I had taken at the Chicago MOMA. I said, “look at this picture. What does she look like?” And my wife very shyly answered “Me…” (Literally her body is IDENTICAL to the sculpture) so I replied “that is the Goddess Aphrodite. THAT is why your body looks like this.”
I very rarely reblog miscellaneous posts but there are some followers of mine who really need to see this.
Oh shit I’m crying thank you
