Hence why I said accidentally, good sir.

[The Monkey]

Yeah, that's an awesome creature.

Nice picture of one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Whale_shark_Georgia_aquarium.jpg

60 million years old.

I find it interesting that humans are only 195 thousand years old on the evolutionary time-line.

:| All animals are equally "old" (roughly 3.5 billion years). The difference is that the whale shark is more similar to it's 60 million old ancestors than humans are to theirs.

[The Monkey]

Aww

 

[Viperidae]

I want to believe there's a creature in the sea that's smarter than us.

The only creature of the sea that's smarter than us is the one that can avoid falling for the same fishing trick time after time.

I think the cat is suffocating the mouse in the last picture.

 

[Unfocused]

That's a Manta Ray, bros. Let me drop knowledge:

Brain to body ratio the largest of any [known] fish. Warm blooded. Seems to recognize and differentiate divers by their eyes, and treats divers differently based on unknown factors (I'm guessing 'vibe'). Friendly and curious. Skeleton made of cartilage (like a shark).

They've got a slime coating that gives them incredibly fast healing, and scientists are trying to make use of this for humans.

actually here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manta_ray



Also these are nearly endangered.

I want a Manta Ray.

stupid cat, you are not a snake.

 

[the cow says moo]

Dude, if I was that mouse, I'd be scared to death in that last pic. Which is usually how cats kill mice, by scaring them until their heart stops.

Job well done.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

stupid cat, you are not a snake.

You don't even have venom.

:| All animals are equally "old" (roughly 3.5 billion years). The difference is that the whale shark is more similar to it's 60 million old ancestors than humans are to theirs.

Sharks are about 350 million years old - older than dinosaurs. 65 million years ago, the Dinosaurs died out (except ancestors to birds).

60 million years ago, the whale-shark is believed to exist (no source given). 195 thousand years ago, the appearance of Homo Sapiens. That's all I said!

The first appearance of mammals was 215 million years ago. 3.8 billion years ago, the first simple cells. 600 million years ago, the first simple animals, if that's what you want to compare. So what the hell are you talking about, son? "All animals are roughly 3.5 billion years old?"

 

[Emporius]

Animals can't live for 350 million years.

 

[15357]

I've never seen an animal a million years old.



EDIT: DAMN YOU EMPORIOUS

You could photoshop the boy with the grenade into a headcrab zombie imo

So true, Danimal. I can't unsee it.

A photo taken during Atlantis' final mission. (Atlantis touched down safely early today): http://www.dailytech.com/Space+Shuttle+Atlantis+Returns+Home+After+Final+Flight/article18517.htm

cabin and open cargo bay visible as it docks with the International Space Station

"First launched in October 1985, Atlantis flew five military missions, made seven flights to the Russian Mir space station and 11 to the International Space Station. It launched two planetary probes (Magellan to Venus and Galileo to Jupiter), deployed the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, and visited the Hubble Space Telescope for a final overhaul last year."

There are 2 other NASA space shuttles near the end of service: Discovery and Endeavour.

"Discovery is up next, scheduled for launch in September or October, followed by Endeavour late this year or early next on what is currently planned as the shuttle program's final mission."


I will definitely be taking a trip to see these shuttles in the Space Museum in the future.
