my favorite scene in the whole tv history
the only sad thing about this scene being in picture form is that you can’t hear the way Garcia says “Quantico”. Kwan-tee-co.
the best 90 seconds of television ever filmed
This is seriously amazing.
Hello yes 911 I just witnessed a fucking murder
Center of the Universe
The so-called Center of the Universe in downtown Tulsa is marked by a small concrete circle in the middle of a larger circle of bricks. It’s not much to look at, but looking isn’t really the point.
The “Center of the Universe” is a little-known mysterious acoustic phenomenon. If you stand in the middle of the circle and make a noise, the sound is echoed back several times louder than it was made. Even more strange, no one standing outside of the circle can hear a thing. It’s your own private amplified echo chamber.
As the legend goes, a foghorn could be going off in the center of the circle and those on the outside wouldn’t hear it. This may be an exaggeration, but your voice does sound extremely distorted when heard from outside the circle. It’s an incredible effect. Still, though many people have studied the cause of the odd anomaly there’s no clear consensus. (Source)
THIS IS SO WILD WTF
I swear I learn the best things on @sixpenceee‘s blog!
This is true!! @sixpenceee I live in Tulsa and I have videos from one of my birthdays that I spent there and you can’t hear a thing.
The reason for Lake Hillier’s color remains a mystery. Theories abound, of course. Some speculate that Lake Hillier’s color, like that of the other lakes, is the result of high salinity combined with the presence of a salt-loving algae species known as Dunaliella salina and pink bacteria known as halobacteria. Unlike other pink lakes, however, which regularly change colors in accordance with temperature fluctuations, Lake Hillier maintains its pink shade year-round. The water retains its pink hue when bottled.
Whatever the cause, the water does not appear to pose any danger to humans. Swimming in it is not possible anyway since the island is used only for research purposes and tourists can admire it only from above. (Source)
