Cranky Old Bastard

Welcome to my blog.
This blog was created as an visually abstract way to record my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. It won't make sense to most people. My belief system is pretty convoluted. I hope you find some enjoyment in it all the same.

This photo by Azaz Ahmad shows off a scorpion’s mouthparts better than any I’ve ever seen! You just don’t see much appreciation for the fact that they’ve got another couple of pinchers for jaws.
I think i’ve posted this before but this is a useful guide to the diversity of mouthparts among the chelicerata subphylum, making it real clear that the chelicerae are just derived legs, the same as with insects’ mouthparts.
This also goes to show that out of all arachnids and other chelicerates, spiders are actually really weird for evolving their face-pincers into those singular fangs.

This is the most beautiful message you’ll read today.

“Say, Pooh, why aren’t you busy?” I said.
“Because it’s a nice day,” said Pooh.
“Yes, but —”
“Why ruin it?” he said.
“But you could be doing something Important,” I said.
“I am, ” said Pooh.
“Oh? Doing what?”
“Listening,” he said.
“Listening to what?”
“To the birds. And that squirrel over there.”
“What are they saying?” I asked.
“That it’s a nice day,” said Pooh.
“But you know that already,” I said.
“Yes, but it’s always good to hear that somebody else thinks so, too,” he replied.

- From the Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff

Stop and listen my friends. We live is such a beautiful world.
