Fun Fact: Apparently Oscar Wilde was 6’3”, which in the 1870s would have been the equivalent of like 6’7”-6’9” tall. He was so ridiculously huge and awkward that one of his friends described him as looking like a “great white caterpillar.” That is all.

When his lover’s father ( one of the founding father’s of boxing as a sport) showed up to kick his ass, Oscar stood up, pulled a gun and said something like 

“I don’t know what the Queensberry rules are, but the Oscar Wilde rule is to shoot on sight.” 

A conversation

At the airport bar where I’m supposed to be cheering myself up with Mac and cheese and a mai tai.

Bartender 2: Have you been helped?

Me: Yes, thank you.

Bartender 2: [To BT1] Did you ID her?

BT1: Yes.

BT2: Did she pass?

BT1: Barely.

Thanks guys. People haven’t been condescending enough to me today.

granular, slope snouted and white spotted glass frogs, which, thanks to their nocturnal habits and translucent skin (featured here), are quite photogenic at night. but given that most are only a few centimetres in length, they’re hard to find. it’s also worth noting that unlike a tree frog, whose eyes are on the side of its head, glass frogs have forward facing eyes. many species of glass frog, like the granular, are an endangered species.
