Gunung Kinabalu
Apr 29, 2008 — 4 comments
This is Mount Kinabalu, on the island of Borneo, which is the third largest island in the world, behind Greenland and New Guinea. It’s bigger than Madagascar, which is massive. The Eyebrowed Jungle-flycatcher (below) is endemic to Borneo, and might have the greatest name of any bird, considering the mental image it provides, along with its confusing hyphenation and compound word choices.
The Madagascan Flying Fox (below) is endemic to Madagascar, has a wingspan of up to five feet, uses hawk-like vision instead of echolocation, can fly 25 miles in one trip, and may be the most terrifying creature on planet Earth.
The Greatest Thing I Have Ever Seen
Apr 09, 2008
I know this is an art website, but I have to mention Monday’s National Championship Game. Coming out of the the most ridiculously stacked Final Four ever, Memphis and Kansas were clearly the two best teams in the country, and the game reflected that. It had everything, brilliant defense on both sides, back and forth scoring, great players. Kansas was down 9 with 2 minutes left, fought back and completely dominated in overtime. Explaining what happened won’t do much good at all, I just hope you watched it, it was amazing.
I still can’t believe it actually happened.
