The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.
It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.
This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.
MAXIMUM WALRUS.

It seems I'm actually supposed to use this site to find people who don't share my taste in music and yell at them, but that seems unpleasant and like too much effort, so I'm going to keep doing it wrong.

Winding the tape back into a cassette by rotating a No. 2 pencil inside one of the holes.
what’s your favorite instance of haptic nostalgia—the poignant memory of the physicality of an obsolete thing—like dialing a rotary phone, shifting gears in a manual transmission, opening a soda can with a pull ring?

A man in Indiana made an AT-AT costume for his horse, intending to only get a few pictures before removing it. When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume

Outside of the playoff, every bowl should be the Duke's Mayo Bowl or the Poptarts Bowl. Be weird.

If the charity you represent has you going door-to-door in -26 C, they are bad and should feel bad.

I walked into the room during a TV news story about the Hillsborough disaster, though I misinterpreted what I was seeing and Mom hurriedly changed the channel to avoid further questions.
What’s the first major news story your remember as a child?
