Happy Shark Week! Did you know that there are sharks in the Chesapeake Bay? Find out more at https://www.cbf.org/nature/sharks/!

Although I can't help but feel butting the judge as soon as he entered the ring - as one beast did - has got to be worth at least a couple of points. Sadly we missed the "most evil sheep" category this time. We did get to see a Lincoln Longwool have explosive hiccups though.

I've been getting back into translating and wikipedia-ing, so thought I'd share a brief overview of the 1er Groupe de Reconnaisance de Division d'Infanterie (1er GRDI), a motorized cavalry recon group that fought from the Meuse to Dunkirk in May 1940. #WWII #WW2 #MilitaryHistory #France #ORBAT

What a magnificent map. The perspective, detail and colour make Yellowstone feel like an entire world waiting to be explored. This is mapmaking as art. Oh, and it's from 1898. Source: buff.ly/GabJF8c
