I now have a brand new “fuzzy logic” rice cooker that has the ability to make perfect rice every time. In addition to fancy electronics, simplified user interface, and (strangely) the ability to play a children’s song whenever you turn it on, it has a retractable power cord … just like my mom’s vacuum cleaner had back in the early 80’s and snake tongues have had for one hundred million years. #cuttingedgetechnology
The world inside raindrops is upside down so that leaves, ever questing, can finally touch the sky.
Some parrots fly. Some parrots have flies. I try not to judge.
No one is getting that slice of apple.
Like humans, camels need kisses before they head off to school. Due to the hooves, though, it’s quite difficult for the parent camels to cut the crusts off the sandwiches.
This is striking posture. If you ever see a snake doing this near you, slowly back away and leave it alone.
That is, unless you really like perforation.
What’s the secret to sloth comedy?

Geckos always start their mornings with a good twenty minutes of tonguerobics.
Brown eared pheasants have a fairly long sine wavelength.
They had been best friends for years. They thought they would be friends forever. Then came the fateful day of the hike.
It had started as a pleasant day. They’d wandered the mountains, enjoying the scenery and conversation. Near the top of one mountain, she’d wanted to get a better view. He was worried about going out too far. Laughing, she teased him as she wandered out onto the cliff, dancing near the edge. His heart turned over as he saw her step on a loose rock, anger turning to fear.
As she slipped, he lunged forward, laying belly-flat on the cliff as he reached over to grab her, just missing her hand. She reached up to him as her left hand gave way and she fell, staring up at him in disappointment and sadness.
That is, until she remembered they were both turtles and swam back up to the cliff’s face. They laughed about the situation and decided that they would actually stay friends forever.

It is said that kappa range from the mischievous to the downright evil. They play pranks and murder people, depending on their whim at the time. Their one weakness is a bowl that they keep on (or, in some legends, in) their heads. In this bowl, they store water, which is necessary for movement and life. Should you encounter one, the best method of defense is to be exceedingly polite and exchange a series of bows. Eventually, the kappa will bow low enough that their water spills out and they become frozen in place. At this point you may flee or, if you wish, refill the bowl from a nearby stream, after which the kappa will become your servant.
Over the years, kappa have shed their legs, evolving to protect themselves against the bowing attack. Modern day kappa no longer have the ability to bow and view excessive politeness negatively as it is quite rude to expect them to bow when they cannot. They are, however, still vulnerable to dehydration, as shown here.
Long as he remembers, the rain’s been coming down.
Clouds of Raven’s secrets spreading confusion all ’round.
Humans through the ages tryin’ to find the sun.
But he’s certain, yes he’s certain, they won’t stop the rain.
