If you rip a hole in a net, there’s actually fewer holes in it then before.
A group of foreign scientists discovered
at least 20 dead sei whales beached along Chile’s southern coast on the
Gulf of Penas and reported them to the National Fisheries Service.The
International Union for Conservation of Natures lists the sei as an
endangered species and the whales are no longer supposed to be hunted
commercially. It’s not unusual to find beached whales
along Chile’s 2,400-mile coast, however it’s the first time sei whales
have been found beached in the country, the Fisheries Service said.

attend the boxing matches, go to the racetrack,
live on luck and skill,
get alone, get alone often,
and if you can’t sleep alone
be careful of the words you speak in your sleep;
and
ask for no mercy
no miracles;

Werewolf plant, the only known plant species that relies on the lunar cycle for survival.
At night, Ephedra foeminea secretes small translucent globules of sugary liquid to
attract nocturnal pollinating insects. The globules are like tiny beads
oozing out from cone-shaped female organs and appeared exactly when the moon was full, but a wind-pollinated relative showed no lunar correlation.

Zingiber zerumbet (awapuhi), also known as shampoo ginger or pinecone ginger is a vigorous species of the ginger family.
As the flower heads mature, they gradually fill with an aromatic, slimy liquid and turn a brighter red color. The most common use of ‘awapuhi is as a shampoo and conditioner for the hair. The clear, slimy juice present in the mature flower heads is excellent for softening and bringing shininess to the hair. It can be left in the hair or rinsed out. Hawaiian women often pick or cut the flowerheads of
this plant in the forest, as they approach a pool or waterfall
for a refreshing summer bath, leave the flowers atop a nearby rock, and
then squeeze the sweet juices into their hair and over their bodies
when the swim is completed.
I love bell hooks for saying something I have known in the deepest depths of my heart: “Couples who rarely or never have sex can know lifelong love.” I am bored of people who can’t think of love beyond sex.
