View Larger This is the clearest lake in the world. And a very fine lake it is. Klaus Thymann captured this and other stunning photos of New Zealand’s Blue Lake, 95% as clear as distilled water. Its source is filtered by mountain rocks and it’s above the treeline, so it misses out on most runoff.

On Monday, during a parliamentary commission hearing to determine if he was a fit for the top court, he was asked whether the death penalty should be applied in cases of rape. His response?
“Consideration needs to be taken thoroughly for the imposition of death penalty for a rapist because in a rape case both the rapist and the victim enjoy it.”
“NOPE” i scream from the top of Mt. Everest as i jump off and qwop into the fucking sun
Glad to see he got the same reaction as Akin, condemned by the entire establishment. Not so glad to see that it takes people going to such extremes for such condemnation to ensue.

Quick, messy graphic to explain a concept that seems obvious to me:
We shouldn’t be helping women because they’re related to someone else. We shouldn’t be helping women because someone else cares about them. We should be helping women because they are people.
We should be helping women for their own sake.
Why is that a hard concept for people to grasp?
I would choose A.F. last; she suffers from something called inasmuch. Unfortunately for her, it’s not likely that she would live. If she were never able to reproduce, that means that her bad DNA wouldn’t spread, leaving less people with inasmuch.
I would love to see the source of confusion for this one. Lolerskates.
Moons and some rings of Saturn, photographed by Cassini, 1 June 2004. Enceladus is the largest moon seen here (the four diffraction spikes from the narrow-angle camera are unusually clear). Prometheus sneaks into a couple of frames at the end, just inside the F Ring. Outside the F Ring are the co-orbital moons Janus and Epimetheus, and I’ve chosen the end-point of the gif so that one loops almost seamlessly into the other.

Frozen Swiss Landscape
In January 2005, Lake Geneva and the surrounding area were hit with a horrific ice storm. Everything was completely blanketed with ice when waves breaking on the lake’s shore hardened into a solid coating in the sub-freezing temperatures. Several boats even sank under the weight of the ice. The wind gusts reached 110 km/h (60 mph) and literally froze water sprays in their place.
