Today I saw a man who was about seven feet tall.

It’s wild how small the distinctions between us can be and still make someone a notable outlier.

Cool squid in an ancient Roman sea bed mosaic - looks like it has sunglasses on its head LOL! (not covering the eyes, which are visible - like if you had your sunglasses resting on top of your head)

Found this photo on Ben Hauck's FB page. Not sure who took it. Pretty rad though!
