The nerve endings, in addition to other readings, undoubtedly produce tactile sensations when the tusk is rubbed or touched, and that these might be interpreted as pleasurable. This tactile sense might explain why narwhals engage in what is known as “tusking,” where two males gently rub tusks together.

Multiculturalism for Steampunk is starting up a weekly art challenge, and it looks promising. SO EXCITED. I’ve had a bunch of ideas for non-Western steampunk outfits floating around in my head, and it’s nice actually having a weekly deadline to motivate me to finish some of them.
This is pretty subtle in its steampunkery (read: no extranneous metal bits), but I was just trying to bring in a few western/Victorian elements to traditional Indian clothing- legomuttoned sleeves, the double breasted, collared choli, and adapting the churidar into buttoned spats.
…Also a sweet hat.
-CUUGGGHHH amazing

Half of invert zoology was with buckets of muddy water and things trying to escape the dissection pan, the other half was with a microscope. I will always be in awe of the sheer amount of weird stuff that exists without the vast majority of people even being aware of their existence.
If Tetsuya Nomura and Rob Liefeld fucked and then had a baby, that baby would be this hat.

It’s hard sometimes, okay? One day I should actually attempt drunk cooking beyond putting chips in the oven and baking accidentally vegan brownies.
Area Squirrel Will Shovel Your Snow for Peanuts
As the Northeastern United States digs out from the first real snowstorm of Winter 2012, many enterprising animals are taking advantage of the weather to put extra cash in their pockets. Though inclement weather is generally blamed for costing money (snow removal, damage to power lines, auto accidents, etc.), for some in the animal kingdom it can be a blessing during these tough economic times.
