When
keepers at the Chengu City Zoo in China noticed their turtle wasn’t
feeling well, they x-rayed her and discovered that 14 eggs had been
caught in her birth canal. An emergency c-section was performed and the
eggs were immediately buried into the sand until they hatched. They used
a saw to open up her shell, and closed it up with epoxy resin!

being gay before the invention of lube must have been a pain in the ass

according to my history professor this is actually a huge contributing factor to the popularity of olive oil in Ancient Greece

this is the best possible thing that i will ever learn and i thank you for that

The people of Ancient Greece loved that ancient grease

I am begrudgingly reblogging this for the first time in like four urls for this, the first comment on this post to actually make me laugh in literally years

There’s a quote in a letter from some poor Roman stationed out in like, fucking Ukraine, basically saying it’s the worst place to live in the entire world because they grow neither olives nor grapes.

No lube and no wine. WHY EVEN BE ALIVE
