laphamsquarterly:

Lincoln logs may have been named after the nation’s 16th president, but did you know that they were invented by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright, and molded from models used in the building of Wright’s Imperial Hotel? Apparently the earthquake-proof construction utilized interlocking pieces of concrete, a strategy that translated well to the children’s toy market.

Now, go forth and build your best log cabin!

archiemcphee:

This awesome creature is a Leptocephalus and it might just be the most perfectly transparent animal we’ve ever seen. According to all-knowing virtual guru that is Wikipedia, “Leptocephalus (meaning “slim head”) is the flat and transparent larva of the eel, marine eels, and other members of the Superorder Elopomorpha.”

We think they might also be secret underwater superheroes.
