Ceci n'est pas un marsouin...!

Feelings

Apparently Benedict Cumberbatch is filming Star Trek about ten miles from where I live.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to exist. I need to touch him.

I’m a fangirl. And I’m not ashamed.

Anatomy of the porpoise

The word “porpoise” comes from porcopiscus - Medieval Latin for “pig fish”. It was obviously related to dolphins, but with a snub-nose, it was more pig-like than the “delphinos” - ”fish with a womb”. Later, the English term “mereswine” was used to refer to both dolphins and porpoises.

…This is, indeed, a porpoise.
