In honor of #SharkWeek and #TBT we bring you the RAREST SHARK IN THE WORLD… THE GARDEN SHARK!

often found where dandelions grow or in patches of clover, the garden shark is harmless as long as you are not in the path of said noms. If you find yourself in between a garden shark and a dandelion well best of luck to you and your toes.

You know those little things that keep bread bags closed?  Well, the internet would like to tell you about them.  If you’re not doing anything too important right now, I think you should visit HORG (that’s the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group) and explore a beautiful, obsessive, hilarious taxonomy of occlupanids.

(ht Metafilter)

Some of these must have a tiny , isolated reproducing population, because they’re looking rather in-bread.

This is amazing and up your alley.

Phylogeny is such an artificial fucking hot mess, I love it. I love it all.

Francis Emilio Hernandez Sebastian Lorenzo Santiago de Tungtwizta was the  first philosopher to promote the concept of Radical Argotism. At 24, he wrote his magnum opus ‘On The Art of Slang, Yo’. When it was published, it made the authorities of the day very suspicious. After all, what kind of pleb ends the title of their book with “I”?

After some investigation, the Inquisition determined that De Tungtwizta, like every other Spanish intellectual ever, was a dirty Jew. His evil plan of hiding by having the world’s most Spanish name had been find out. One day he was minding his own business; drinking coffee and scowling at life. All that changed when the Spanish Inquisition (unexpectedly) attacked. He was executed 2 years after his book’s publication, and Argotism went underground.

One hundred years passed and a new Argot was discovered, a slang-bender named Aangwizlemahnizzlefoshizzle. After he’d spent a few years getting rich from spitting dope rhymes, he realised that life was meaningless. He may or may not have been high on fifteen different drugs that he’d just snorted off an escort’s breasts at the time of this realisation – history fails to record it. On the heels of this dramatic revelation, he quit the music business and founded The Enlightened & Gentlemanly School For The Promotion of Rrrradical Argotism, Muh Nigguh.

They were eventually all arrested for selling counterfeit dictionaries.

Only one instance of this philosophy being practiced has been recorded:

Initially misread this as “Radical Ergotism”, but argot is good too.

Oh good, I’m not the only one who misread it as ergotism. :D
