After the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, many
Civil War soldiers’ lives were saved by a
phenomenon called ‘Angel’s Glow.’ The
soldiers, who lay in the mud for two rainy
days, had wounds that began to glow in
the dark and heal unusually fast. In 2001,
2 teens won an international science fair
by discovering the soldiers had been so
cold that their bodies created the perfect
conditions for growing a bioluminescent
bacteria, which ultimately destroyed the
bad bacteria that could’ve killed them. Source Source 2 Source 3

wtf life is cool

that’s so incredibly specific, what luck!

Another fun thing: the bacterial that causes this, P. luminescens, lives inside parasitic nematodes and releases a toxin that kills the host caterpillars. The gene that creates this toxin is called “makes caterpillars floppy”. That’s it. That’s its official name.

#1yrago The amazing, endless battle between rural Eastern European partisan fighters, demons, mecha, and werewolves

mostlysignssomeportents:

Jakub “Mr Werewolf” Rozalski is a prolific Polish painter whose
longrunning series of painters depict rural Eastern European folk
fighting against mecha warriors, werewolves, and demons.

Rozalski produced much of this art for the successful kickstarted game Scythe, and the best of it has been collected in a $40, 105-page limited edition book.
His Tumblr has notes on the individual pieces and the fantastic worlds
from which they’re drawn; another series is called “Wolfpack – 1863.”
His Artstation account features process notes and drafts of the paintings.

Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Butcher Billy got the idea of turning famous love hits into book covers of horror master Stephen King. 

Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” The Smiths, “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears and many others were portrayed in a very unusual way.

“This series imagines an alternate universe where some of the most desperate and tragic romantic songs in the ‘70s and’ 80s are actually books written by Stephen King. The concept is to look at the dark side of love by the vision of pop culture, bringing aspects of its classic stories to play the true meaning of the songs – this can be completely subverted or stressed strangeness, while paying tribute to the vintage design of the original covers,” Butcher writes on his Behance.

The Initiative Tree

I just showed up to my buddy’s house for our weekly D&D Night, and he pulled out this awesome creation that he built.

After we roll for Initiative, we each put on our clothespin to remember the order of our turns. I was so immediately impressed that I asked him if I could snap a pic and share with the rest of you. He graciously agreed.

Dave your friend is a genius

Whoa!
