Farfett tal-ġimgħa

Mhux il-farfett tipiku – iżda din hija l-istruttura li tiwi tal-proteini minn deni emorraġiku tal-Amerika t'Isfel – il-virus tas-Sintomi. The article was found on Science Daily. Xebh impressjonanti ma' farfett, forsi anke Hesperiidae (photo from Butterflies of America).

B'xorti tajba, Jien mhux ħanfusa

Because I would have been subjected to this. Talk about animal cruelty! kollox sew, just kidding, but this story is a bit ridiculous. The article states that the scientists had used the voice of Limbaugh because it wasreadily available”, not because they hated him. Well that turns out not to be true, they chose Rush . . . → Aqra Aktar: B'xorti tajba, Jien mhux ħanfusa

Il-ħbieb tiegħi kollha huma insetti

Din hija xi ħaġa li qatt ma rajt qabel. Meta trabba dejjem kelli lil xi ħadd jagħtini xi oġġett kitsch bl-insetti fuqhom, anke karti tal-logħob. Ukoll anke s-sena l-oħra sibt ingravata oħra b'tema ta 'insetti. (M'għandix il-kapriċċ ta' PZ Myers u l-ingravata tal-biża' tiegħu.)

Buttefly stupidu tal-ġimgħa

OK nies farfett, min jien?

Din hija immaġni antika tiegħi, allura mhux perfett. Jekk tista 'tgħidli dan il-farfett għal speċi ikollok high-five. Jekk taf is-sottospeċi, Nibgħatlek pakkett ġdid ta #3 labar tal-istainless steel! Ħjiel biss: Huwa mill-punent ta 'l-Istati Uniti.
