"Wilderness"

Yeah... Wilderness. Just say it out loud, its just great. Pretty much, just places "not significantly" affected by human activity. But really, we're talking serious jungles, savannahs, rainforests, tundras, valleys, and all of the really great places in the world. Wilderness, motherfuckers.

Get out into it! .... and start affecting it with human activity.

I dunno.

Animal behaviour, pt. 1

Man, I love stories about wildlife exhibiting behaviour that is strangely "human-like". For example, this is one I read recently that made me go "yeah!":

June, 1994. In Wales, a village's local bee-keeper, Margaret Bell, who kept bees for several decades, passed away. After her passing, the town's residents noticed hundreds of bees settled peacefully, on the corner of the street, directly opposite the house where Margaret had lived for twenty six years.

The bees were paying their respects.
