Ooooooh!
Isn’t this just the best picture ever? It is an “Image of distinction” in the 2013 Nikon Small World Photomicrography competition, taken by Dr. Andrea Schmidt-Rhaesa, Corinna Schulze and Ricardo Neves (Universität Hamburg). It shows a marine tardigrade who seems to be a little short in the one leg department. Darn that Skorp! That reminds me; I must still do my Duolingo German lesson today…
Oh, and I have to credit Zemanta for the Ooooooh, Mustafa shiver.

Concurring Catachresis
As I wonder about that shiny little piece of duct tape? found near Curiosity’s scoop, my thoughts wander too:
Who let the cat out the bag? Outdoor cats are problematic — cats of crisis–:
catachresis is today’s dictionary.com‘s word of the day, used here in the appropriate manner… What’s important is that Curiosity did not kill the cat, right? Luckily there are only deus ex machina (which comes from Horace’s Ars Poetica) -feathered things on Mars…
