Have you seen volcano lightning?

I hadn't and yet these pictures were posted on National Geographic a year and a half ago

'The mingling of lightning and ash seen above may be a "dirty thunderstorm." '
I really do need to start looking at NatGeo on a regular basis as once again there are some f*cked up things going on with this world that I have no clue about. I mean, look at that photograph! It's so amazing, Ed said that when someone takes a photograph this amazing they should just immediately get a million dollars. 'Oh, a picture of lightning, well...we'll take a look at it later....HOLY SHIT!! WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS SHIT?! AND THERE'S A VOLCANO IN ALL THAT LIGHTNING?! well here's your $1,000,000."

Kudos to Carlos Gutierrez/UPI/Landov for taking such wonderful photographs.

Oooh Cute! Whathehellisthatthing?!#&

This is the reaction I seem to have when looking at What's That Bug? Insect indentification blog It is chock full of the most amazing looking bugs from everyday folks who just want to know, what's that bug? Simple enough. But once I started scrolling around, I just couldn't stop.

Beautiful moths

Followed closely by this Monkey Slug that can sting you!

and then this adorable Tribble looking thing aptly called an Asp-- that can also sting ya!

Holy Crap! That's a big fish!

I absolutely love anything having to do with nature. There is always something new and creepy and huge appearing on tv or the web that no one has ever seen before. We live here and no one has seen everything there is to be seen. Like this thing:

Zeb Hogan that awesome guy doing the Megafishes project over at National Geographic found this which appears to be the world's largest known Giant Stingray. This is just unbelieavable to me. Not only that I just stumbled upon this article but that it was posted Feb 24! I really need to visit National Geographic more often. Also note to self: do not take swimming in bodies of fresh water in Thailand lightly.
