Yea, I’m going to need you to action that a.s.a.p., utilise the new paradigm.

Now I have the power. Soon, I will run my department.

They forgot to colour Poison Ivy’s tights in this shot, she looks like an American Apparel ad.

Charley in New Town, British Cartoon from 1948 about Town Planning
Charley and friends here seem to see no middle ground between 2 or 3-storey buildings and skyscrapers. Also, they like spaghetti-style road networks with more culs-de-sac than I’d be willing to support.

Aside: pretty sure that octopuses did have shells at one point and evolved out of them. The last little while, David Attenborough-hosted nature shows have been a pretty important part of weekend recovery mode.

OMG ANIMALS ARE SO AMAZING. People throw away some shit in the ocean, and these dudes figure out a way to use it like the shell the evolutionary process never gave them. I <3 it so much. Plus, an octopus running is the best thing you’ve ever seen.
This was one of my favourite cartoons as a child. No winter was complete without it. Pretty much any 40s Disney cartoon was right up my proverbial alley, especially Chip n’ Dale Vs. Donald. I mean, look at that coat.
Hahaha, for Maegan…“In a normal environment, a carcass gets cold in 8 to 36 hours losing an average rate of 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. However, the ice world of Hoth is not an average environment. The Star Wars database lists that Hoth reaches nightly temperatures of -60 F. In a frigid, sub-zero environment, body heat can be lost almost 32 times faster. This means a Tauntaun’s body heat could drop almost 51.2 F every hour. Considering that Han Solo’s Tauntaun died of severe hypothermia even before it was cut open with Luke’s light saber, one could assume it’s core body temperature was already well below normal. The problem for Luke is if the Tauntaun’s body temperature reaches freezing point those once toasty guts, blood, and assorted alien goo, will in fact become a frozen coffin. If the Tauntaun died of cardiac arrest due to hypothermia with an average body temperature of 75 F (23 C), and if Tauntaun blood freezes at 28.4 F (-2 C), then Han has roughly 56 minutes to set up a shelter before Luke once again is in danger of losing his life in the barren wasteland of Hoth.”
