A celebration of weirdness

Just me posting stuff I like

Der Hexenmann

You’ve heard of Übernatürlich? Get ready for Der Hexenmann, courtesy of @herostag and I

  • Gerhard, Rittersport, Ziri, Jennefer und Triß
  • Gerhard redet mit Berliner Akzent und seine Trademark-Reaktion auf alles ist “Ja juuuuuuut…”
  • Jedes Pferd heißt Plötze, aber die Viecher werden durchnummeriert (gerade ist er bei Plötze 13 angekommen)
  • Als Gerhard Rittersport vorm Erstickungstod retten will, muss er den Passierschein A38 vorweißen um zu Jennefer durchzukommen (und eigentlich ist das ja auch außerhalb der Geschäftszeiten, man solle doch bitte morgen wiederkommen)
  • Gerhards Reaktion als er Jennefer dann zum ersten Mal trifft: “Warum hast du eine Maske auf???”
  • Gerhards Antwort auf die Frage, ob Rittersport sein Freund ist: “Sympatisch. Man kann sich unterhalten.”
  • Nach einem langen und anstrengenden Auftrag kommt Gerhard zurück ins Gasthaus. Rittersport wartet bereits auf ihn. Er hat gekocht. “FEIERABEND WIE DAS DUFTET. KRÄFTIG, DEFTIG, WÜRZIG, GUT.”

Best and worst things to discover at a dig?

Worst is a body that shouldn’t be there.

Conversely, best is a body that should.

Absolute worst case scenario: You find a body that should be there but when you come back it’s gone

“Guys?  Where’d she go?”

She’s behind you

Me [beating at the bog body with a shovel]: WE. DIDN’T. TAKE. SITU. PHOTOS. YET. Get back in that hole! You can go for a walk after.

The fact that I can picture myself and pretty much all of my archaeologist colleagues grabbing a shovel and doing this last bit just makes it that much funnier.

god this has to be one of the dumbest things i spent 5 minutes on but it sprouted fully formed in my brain the second i saw this post

(sorry for quality i’m drawing on a mouse)

That episode of Time Team you didn’t see.

You know you fucked up when archaeologists drop their coffee. Always take photos before you take a break, just in case the dead come back to life and destroy your trench!

[This idea has been rattling in my brain and I had to share it.]

I know we all love the ‘humans are space orcs’ concept… but imagine, onboard the new ship they’ve been assigned to, the human meets an actual space orc. A massive monster… fangs and tusks and scars and a battle-hardened stare, looming over all the other life forms on the ship in its thick indestructible armour it refuses to remove. It barely drinks, it doesn’t need sleep, its massive shoulders are heavy with the terrible things it has experienced. Compared to the squishy & delicate human body, this thing is a walking tank.

… Except instead of hating/ignoring one another, the human and the monster start bonding over both coming from death planets. The human is excited to find a life form who doesn’t quiver with fear at the vague description of a jellyfish and the monster is ecstatic to meet someone who understands the feeling of being bitten by a qua’lem (cats are pretty close). They sit together and compare dangerous animals and locations as the other aliens look on in confusion and fear… oh, you also have dense jungles of deadly hidden predators, boiling acid lakes, tamed predatory killers, and areas with horrendously high and low temperatures? Sick!! 

It doesn’t take long before the two of them become totally inseparable. The human loves not feeling like some kind of crazy outsider and the monster is overjoyed they’ve finally found an equal in this unkillable marshmallow.

Monster: When I was a youngling, a grol-lik stung straight through my armour. The pain lasted for approximately 16 human hours. Human: Oh yeah man, I get that. As a kid I got a wasp stuck in my shirt. It stung me like four times, it was awful, and all my cousins just laughed at me… Monster: [using their arm screen to research human courting methods] I see.

Not quite an ‘Orc’ per-se, but eh, close enough. See here giant spiky Deathworlder simping for tiny shouty Deathworlder.

The most detailed model of a human cell to date, obtained using x-rays, nuclear magnetic resonance, and cryoelectron microscopy data sets.

It’s impossible to understand just how complex we actually are. We are all a universe within a universe.

If you’re looking for similarly well-digitized and freely available histology references, Histology Guide’s Slidebox has hundreds of labeled, zoomable, hyperlinked images with descriptions and even some color work. Nothing as insane as the scale above — it’s mostly light microscopy and some TEM — but it is organized by tissues and serves as a great introduction for anyone interested in (vertebrate) cell and tissue organization.

Dear followers,

My girlfriend is going through some family issues.

Reblog this with pictures of your pets; she wants to see them.

here’s io, our smiley boy! hope this helps!

Bundeswehr verpiss dich aus meiner Werbung Challenge

bundeswehr verpiss dich challenge

Ich hab mittlerweile schon zwei Mal Werbung für Jobs bei der Bundeswehr gekriegt - per Post. Woher haben die überhaupt meine Adresse? Ist das nicht ein Verstoß gegen die DSGVO? Und, liebe Bundeswehr, ich schaffe es nicht mal, Half-Life 2 auf einem anderen Schwierigkeitsgrad als “leicht” zu spielen, von daher bin ich glaube ich nicht sonderlich geeignet für den Job.

Habe ich ebenfalls erhalten. War schon fast versucht, denen zu schreiben, sie sollen mich bitte nicht mehr zumüllen und das Geld lieber benutzen um ihre Eurofighter zu reparieren oder so. War dann am Ende einfach uu faul...
