This might be the best thing I’ve seen in a while: A reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum: Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy? I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25...

Note: If you get a call from a college admissions department, it’s probably best not to answer with a hearty, “Whassap?” The person calling will judge you. That is all.

Inflating a set of cat lungs

Lungs are by most accounts mundane. Everybody has them, few give it much thought. But sequestered within darkness of the chest cavity, enveloping the fluttering heart, there’s an incredible wonder to this oddly inflatable organ.

Dissection is a destructive process. Rudely excised from membranous mooring and nourishing vessels, the deflated lungs appear little more than bloodied meat; amorphous and exposed…….until a breath of air unfurls its secret glory. 

Here, a set of cat lungs is inflated with a straw. Comprised of hundreds of millions of microscopic air sacks called alveoli, mammalian lungs harbor air capacity that is difficult to believe unless seen. The color of the entire organ lightens into a soft pink, as each microscopic sac fills with air.

A debt of gratitude is owed to cyborgraptor for her assistance in creating these gifs, as well as the students that helped me film this demo.

The saddest thing I"ve ever seen. :(

Todd Bol grew up with a mother who loved books, a former schoolteacher who knew the magic of a good read. So when he decided to build something to remember her by, he knew just what to make. Todd built a miniature library, a wooden model of a one-room schoolhouse, and stuffed it full of books he wanted others to read. He placed it on a stand in his yard, marked with a sign that read, "FREE BOOKS." 

Before he knew it, a movement had begun. At TEDxFargo, Todd explains this phenomenon: how one effort to share his mother’s love of reading became a worldwide network of booklovers creating beautiful tiny houses for sharing books, something he’s called the Little Free Library.

Learn more about how people all around the globe are changing the communities they inhabit through these beautiful little book shelters — homes for new and well-loved ideas alike — in Todd’s talk below:
