My coworker put this on our office door at the hospital I work at.
He’s not a sociopath, nor is he high-functioning. He’d really like to be a sociopath. But he’s so fucking not. The wonderful drama of Sherlock Holmes is that he’s aspiring to this extraordinary standard. He is at root an absolutely ordinary man with a very, very big brain. He’s repressed his emotions, his passions, his desires, in order to make his brain work better — in itself, a very emotional decision, and it does suggest that he must be very emotional if he thinks emotions get in the way. I just think Sherlock Holmes must be bursting! Steven Moffat [x]

Fungus-Furred Flounder Ferret
Living in humid and dense woodlands, the fungus-furred flounder ferret spends most of its day pressed flat against the forest floor or overgrown trees. While doing so, the little mammal is nearly impossible to spot among the vegetation and lies in ambush to feed on insects, frogs or smaller-sized lizards. The most peculiar feature of this cunning creature is its symbiotic relationship with a likewise wondrous type of lichen densely growing in its fur: the Pluvia Licheri – an ingredient highly praised by thieves and sinister alchemists.
