If you dive, even in broad daylight, in a submarine, you see more shades of blue than there are names for blue. From pale to ultradark… to ultraviolet… and then it’s black.

Dive daily, love blues.

Over the past six years, Gianluca Gimini has asked more than 500 people to draw a bicycle from memory. This is harder than it sounds. Try it. Of the 370 people who really tried, about 25 percent managed to accurately sketch a bike.

Gimini doesn’t pay attention to the accurate drawings in his illustration project Velocipedia. Instead, he created digital renderings of some of the weirdest, most impractical designs that came from the other 75 percent of the test group. Gimini’s project is a celebration of the ways people can be accidentally creative.

Check out more photos and read about Gimini’s project.

Clouds Crashing Over Nebraska

Storm chaser Alex Schueth captured timelapse of a rare cloud formation called undulatus asperatus during a storm over Lincoln, Nebraska earlier this summer. The term, which translates to “roughed or agitated waves,” describes the bizarre rolling pattern formed by the clouds. Observers have noted that the phenomenon gives the impression of being underwater looking up at the surface at waves. Margaret LeMone, a cloud expert with the National Center for Atmospheric Research has taken photos of asperatus clouds for 30 years, and considers it a likely new cloud type.

some FUCKING MORON accidentally paypaled me some money when they meant to send it to someone else. i am a nice person, so i forwarded the notification email to them saying, this seems like a mistake, i don’t want to keep your money for no reason. they then flagged the payment as problematic - which removes my ability as a receiver to issue a refund - and now have sent me TWENTY EMAILS demanding that i return the money immediately. a) i don’t have it, paypal is holding it, and b) paypal won’t let me return it and c) now i’m on hold with paypal trying to resolve this, ALL THIS GUY’S FAULT.

To all those celebrating Ramadan, we wish you a blessed month. Ramadan Kareem.
