Al-Wakwak, or Al-Waq Waq, is an island of women mentioned in medieval Arabic literature. Located east of China, the island is ruled by a queen, and is so rich in gold that the women wear gold-woven tunics. Children grow on a tree, so men are not needed to reproduce. #MythologyMonday

the thing about Ireland is that it's extremely hard to register at a dentist but a brand new one just opened
"IM SO EXCITED TO BE HERE. THIS IS MY TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT." I said to the dental assistant, in a very normal way.

When people say NYE is always an anti-climax, they are clearly not referring to having dinner inside the Crystal Palace iguanodon, which is obvs the best thing ever
Well, if it’s 31 December, it’s... yes, of course: 172nd anniversary of the dinner Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, creator of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, gave for 21 leading academics and other VIPs inside the Iguanodon
