Improvise, Adapt, Overcome

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Sgt. Jason Pacheco, 23, scout sniper instructor, Division Schools, 1st Marine Division, from Las Vegas, N.M., uses his prosthetic leg as support for an M40 Sniper Rifle on a firing range at Camp Pendleton Aug. 30, 2011. Pacheco suffered a severed leg after an improvised explosive device detonated beneath him during a patrol in Afghanistan August 2010. His leg had to be amputated below his knee. Pacheco uses his prosthetic leg to support the weight of his rifle to show an example of how students can use anything to steady a rifle. He has been an instructor for the Pre-Scout Sniper School since March and recently completed a physical fitness test with his prosthetic leg. He has re-enlisted and said he hopes to continue training in preparation to return to full duty. (Official U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Timothy Lenzo)

BALANCED ROCK

Located about 20 miles west of Buhl, Idaho on a good hard surfaced road. Inquire at Castle Ford for exact location. This very unusual rock is 48 feet high, 40 feet wide at the top, and only 3 feet at the bottom.

So can anyone here provide us with the EXACT location?

For anyone who only sees gender and sex in black and white, here’s proof by the lovely humon that nature is just as fluid with representations of gender and sex as we are.

love this. The cuttlefish mating one blew my mind!

these need to be turned into pamphlets and handed out to people.

for serious.

SERIOUS.

I love cuttlefish mating.  Brilliant.  @ksej and I are more in the position of the seahorses, though.

This is so adorable.

This pleases me.

The top one: John Watson and Mary Morstan. CANNOT UNSEE.

Also - looks like Russell Brand’s tactic of acting gay to attract women is something the cuttlefish have known for ages now. Clever cuttlefish. :)
