Then there are these from a microsopy image competition:


Scagelia algae


Mushroom coral mouth


Vorticella genus protazoans


Scales on the wing of a Panacea prola butterfly


Tongue of the Pomatias Elegans snail


Corethron diatom



Tit for tat got us where we are today. If we want to be grownups, we need to resist the ugliness. If we each did, this would be a better reflection on Firefly and a more welcome place. I will try.

Sadly, no microscope has yet been constructed that will show the brain activity with in the skull of a Liberal. Some things are just too small to detect!

ROFLMAO!!!!

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.


Thank you, Niki, I needed some beauty today.

Microscope labs are always my favorite thing to do at school (I've seen some of those protists with my own eyes) but the images look even better blown up on a screen.


What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

Yeah, that was kind of it for me, too, Rose. I look around for stuff of interest, but everything is Sandy Hook, and we've got quite enough of THAT going on here. So I turned to science and found these. They were a tiny balm to my soul and a reminder of JUST how magnificent nature is! They're like something an artist would do, and of course, nature is the best artist around!

S'arright, Rap, I understand.
