Oh, hai!

It's always the same; you go on holiday, "make friends" with some guy and when you get home you realise he managed to get himself into every photo you took!

Hat tip to John Lynch over at A Simple Prop for the link.

Also, if The End of the Line didn’t con­vince you, John has dis­covered another reason not to des­troy the world’s fish pop­u­la­tion: if there are no fish to eat, the Otters will have to find some­thing else to eat: Human Flesh!

Don’t look so cha­r­is­mic now, do they?

A color-enhanced image of the delta in Jezero Crater, which once held a lake. Researchers led by CRISM team member and Brown graduate student Bethany Ehlmann report that ancient rivers ferried clay-like minerals (shown in green) into the lake, forming the delta. Clays tend to trap and preserve organic matter, making the delta a good place to look for signs of ancient life. Image credit: NASA/JPL/JHUAPL/MSSS/Brown University.

This is such a cool photo. The col­ours aren’t real, but you can clearly see the path an ancient mar­tian river once took to get to a lake, as well as the delta it gen­er­ated by dump­ing sed­i­ment into that lake. If you squint, you can con­vince your­self you’re look­ing at a satel­lite photo of Earth.

Canals after all.

Those tire­less defend­ers of ser­i­ously odd life­forms every­where, the Blei­man Broth­ers, have the the most awe­some photo ever over on Zooi­lo­gix. It’s a photo of a Her­mit Crab. In a glass shell. Ser­i­ously, you have to check it out!
