Photo of the day: Newly hatched Cygnets usher in start of summer
A pair of recently hatched cygnets walk along the water’s edge at the Abbotsbury Swannery near Weymouth, England on May 11. The Benedictine Monks who maintained the Abbotsbury Swannery from 1000 AD up to the 1540s believed the first cygnet hatching of the spring, which usually occured between mid-May and late June, signaled the official start of summer.
That is the most herpy derpy bird I’ve ever seen…..
Something on this earth is reportedly heavier than you, Jenna.
I have create a blog for all design things so they will no longer be posted on this one. I’m trying to keep the design stuff and the random crap separate so that I can use the design one in my college work as well, so if you follow this blog for the design stuff then swap over, if you follow it for the random crap stay where you are and if you follow it for both then go and add my new one to you list of followed blogs!

Spin a hard boiled egg in a puddle of milk and you get a sprinkler. But how? The science starts at the surface. When the egg spins, the fluid touching its surface is dragged along due to friction, and, because of the fluid’s viscosity, other parts of the fluid will also be spun. Dynamics tells us that the velocity at the surface of the object varies with radius; the velocity at the bottom of a spinning sphere is much smaller than that at its equator because a particle at the equator traverses a larger distance in a single rotation. Likewise, the fluid touching the bottom of the egg is spun slower than the fluid just above it. Bernoulli’s principle tells us that, for an incompressible fluid, the pressure decreases as velocity increases, meaning that a favorable pressure gradient exists along the spinning convex surface. It is this pressure gradient that draws the fluid up the sides of the object. Near the equator, the pressure gradient is weakest and centrifugal force flings the the fluid outward. Surface tension, angular velocity, and viscosity all play a role in the jets and sheets created by the sprinklers. (Video credit: NPR Science Friday with Tadd Truscott et al)

That bird is one badass motherfucker
LOOK AT HIM

Clearly, the upper part is darker than the bottom one.
Or is it? Cover the borderline/center of the figure with your finger to find out.
