Happy Birthday, Walt Whitman! Ah we’ve had such great times with you, singing the body electric, working on our phrenology…

Hey, remember when we played that game of baseball and no one really knew what they were doing because it was 1846?

Remember when you said that nothing, not even God, was greater than the self?

Or that time you wrote some steamy erotica?

What about that terrible time you had during the Civil War?

Or when we got into that argument about slang?

In the end, we loved just sitting on the stoop with you, kicking back few beers, watching the people, endless, streaming, with strong voices, passions, pageants.

Don’t ever change, Walt.

This Is Why Cats Have 9 Lives of the Day: One life down, eight to go: This 2-month-old kitten was recently found wedged inside a car’s exhaust system, with just its head and a paw sticking out. When the car’s driver realized the animal was still alive, he rushed the part — and kitten — to the local fire department, where the kitten was cut out.

According to fire commander Coronel Candido Cleber:

The kitten was cold and must have climbed into the engine to try to warm up. But when the driver started the engine he was suddenly sucked in. It’s a miracle he was still alive. The driver drove around for hours before deciding to find out what was wrong.

Now for the good news — the kitten had intestinal surgery and is now recovering at a sanctuary in Brazil.

Jason Schwartzman’s ‘Fox’ Tales (by CBSNewsOnline)

Jason Schwartzman is a dork

lickystickypickywe:

Today, while watching the BBC Life series I was mesmerized by many aspects of nature, but what stuck with me most was that a female octopus lays many many eggs (approximately 100 000) tends to them for six months. Caressing them, and just making sure the eggs are protected. During that time she doesn’t leave her den, Not once, so she doesn’t hunt for food which holds vital energy for her survival. During her pregnancy she thus, slowly starves herself to give the eggs a chance. On her last energy she apparently blows water over them to help them hatch and then she dies.

This sacrifice makes them (to me) one of the most devoted mothers in nature.

Oh and they also have 3 hearts and blue blood.
Absolutely fascinating…
