When a cosplayer recreates the horrible manga from Junji Ito

Japanese cosplayer Ikura is having fun recreating the horrible manga from Junji Ito, rightly regarded as one of the masters of horror manga. Ikura stages
herself into scary, frightening and sordid compositions, trying to
reproduce the images of the mangaka. Well, cosplay is far from being
reserved for the famous superheroes and popular manga characters! Source: ufunk

It’s really amazing to see just how adaptable to harsh environments some amphibians can be. Here we see a Blanford’s toad [Sclerophrys blanfordii, formerly Bufo blanfordii] a species endemic to the most rugged terrain of the Horn of Africa. These toads take advantage of the few available water sources in their hot and arid environment, and are often found around or in small ponds. The toad specimen was photographed by Tomas Mazuch, whereas the landscape was photographed by Vladimir Trailin.

today i was talking to my coworker jess and she said to me “i’ve been trying to think of how to tell my husband that i want a horse. i’m really non confrontational and i don’t know how to tell him. like, thanks for the flowers, but i want a horse.” and i was like, “well, you could always send him subliminal messages. like tape pictures of horses all over the walls and stuff” and she gave me this really weird look and was like “i said divorce not horse“ oh my god…

It never stops being creepy to read women referred to as “Mrs John Smith” in historical sources. Both their given name and surname replaced by their husband’s name. So you literally do not know anything about who they are apart from being the Mrs of a John Smith.

The myth that knights could barely move in their armor has finally been dispelled by Thrillist

@thecybersmith

NO

@kamiyu910 I think the better mobility might be because of the fact that the armor is a lot closer to the knight’s body, unlike the soldier that has it more concentrated on his back. Your thoughts?

I’ve watched this video, and a few others of the knight’s (Daniel Jaquet), and yeah, the concentration on the soldier’s back ends up making it not quite as even, since the knight has all his weight evenly distributed. 

I find it interesting they don’t show the firefighter in this one, because he was there too and beat them both out, and he had awkward weight on his back as well. It’s hard to say exactly what contributed to the times.

Here’s the full video:

I know the knight takes to heart the words of a 15th century knight who would climb walls in full armor and do all sorts of crazy things.
