Yes, 2008 was a nerve-wracking year. But time after time, the stars of Cute Overload taught us that life works best when you just lie back and relax. So step away from the computer for a while...

...maybe grab a bite to eat...

Ugly Overload: Dangling Sloth

Raging Wombat — 2009-01-05T20:59:07+00:00

Rebecca sent me this link from listverse.com, in which they layout what they believe to be the ten ugliest animals on the planet. I'm happy to report that each and every one of them has appeared here, along with a couple of the exact photos they used.

But I was charmed by this sloth photo, and had to share. These creatures are omnivores, and are known to dine on small lizards. How embarassing would it be to be a small lizard and be caught by a sloth? My dying efforst would be spent hoping that none of my friends watched me get nabbed. That's not how I would want to be remembered.

An interesting sidenote: a sloth's fur lays in an opposite direction from most mammals. Most mammals have hair that grows toward the extremities. Not so with Mr. Sloth. His hair grows towards his torsoe, since he spends to much time dangling.

Thanks, Rebecca.

Ugly Overload: That's Some Prolific Pig

Raging Wombat — 2009-01-05T20:45:46+00:00

I know, I'm posting on something that's already been covered by Cute Overload. But bear in mind I'm looking at the adult, not the adorable piglets.

Anyways...

China knows how to do pigs right. Well, wrinkly at least. Just like so many of their other animals (think shar pei and pug). You're looking at the meishan pig, which is a domesticated breed known for being slow growing and delicious. They are also one of the most prolific pigs. They reach puberty by the time they're three months old, and can have two litters a year. Add to that a high embryo survival rate, and you've got yourself a pig that can take over the world. I'm thinking Animal Farm here, only with a Chinese flavor to it. Not terribly inappropriate.

Thanks for the meishan, Laura.

Ugly Overload: Only Four Inches Across

Raging Wombat — 2009-01-05T20:27:13+00:00

Poor Lauren is having to contend with some very large orb weavers on her property. This is what awaits her in her eaves every day. The big one is six inches across. What isn't shown is another pair, where there is a smaller spider around four inches across. I truly don't know if I could live in a place where the smaller spider is only four inches across.

Can anyone help with a more specific ID? Are we looking at pairs that are about to mate? We need to allay Lauren's fears and to instruct her as to what sort of body armor and weaponry she needs to carry when she goes gardening.

UPDATE: Looks like we've got an ID for you, Lauren. Deborah pegs it as a Golden Silk Orbweaver (Nephila clavipes), and I tend to agree. An alternative would be something from the Argiope genus (thanks Lindsay). Amanda thinks, like I do, that you're dealing females and males, not youngins. You're in for a large brood coming hatchling season.

wtf_nature: La Palma Mega Tsunami

Sarah — 2009-01-05T02:23:50+00:00

At syncordi's Request: The "MegaTsunami" predicted to wipe out the east coast:

In short Cumbre Viejo, a volcano on the island of La Palma in the canary islands, is predicted to shed it's Northeast flank into the ocean. Geologists figure this will be due to water or magma expansion against the side that's already sliding roughly a centimeter a year. The resulting Tsunami could wash two miles inland into east coast cities. Geologists figure it's MORE likely to happen now due to global warming, as previous incidents of this type have always occurred during earth's warm periods.

A Tsunami of this type(something dropping into the ocean) results in a much higher wave than those caused by underwater earthquakes and plate slippage.

For those with phobias or not enough to worry about, if you want to avoid natural disasters, Alice Springs in Australia is about the only place you'd be safe moving to, as its the most geologically stable region on the habitable planet (Antarctica is your other option).

wtf_nature: Yellowstone supervolcano about to blow it's top?

David Rambo — 2009-01-04T22:57:27+00:00

the radius of the blast may be a LOT bigger than they predict. so, if this happens in my lifetime, i'm running for the hills of mexico and living off the land...

And, I just found out that people are predicting it to happen in 2012.
-my whole attitude towards this assumption is pretty basically "oh noes!"-

Dear Cecil:

My friend Melanie loves to watch the Discovery Channel and share what she has watched with others. The problem is she can never get the story straight. Her latest tale is about Yellowstone Park sitting on top of a supervolcano that has been dormant for 6,000-ish years. She said the supervolcano is starting to show signs that point to its being active. Is there any truth to her tale?

— Tina

Cecil replies:

Cut Melanie some slack. Yeah, she screwed up some details: it’s been 600,000-ish years since Yellowstone's supervolcano has gone off full blast, not 6,000. She got the drift, though. Nobody's saying Yellowstone is going to blow in time to mess up your summer vacation plans. But it's a question of when, not if.

A supervolcano is one that explodes in (natch) supereruptions. Definitions vary, but usually we're talking a magnitude-eight (M8) eruption: one trillion metric tons of ash and other debris filling at least 100 cubic miles, typically upchucked over the course of about a week. Picture 1,000 Mount Saint Helenses, or 8 Tamboras. Besides causing regional devastation, supereruptions affect global climate. An Indonesian super 74,000 years ago kicked off a thousand-year drought that some contend caused a human population crash. One shudders to think what a similar blow would do now.

Yellowstone is both a supervolcano and a hotspot; the two don't always go together. A hotspot is the business end of what's known as a mantle plume, a stream of magma that rises hundreds of miles through a channel in the earth’s crust like the blob in a lava lamp. The Yellowstone plume head, 50 miles underground, is several hundred miles wide. Over time, the hot head melts the overlying crust, forming a smaller magma chamber. Yellowstone's magma chamber is just a few miles down and contains partially melted granite viscous enough to trap gas, allowing pressure to build. Periodically the pressure cracks the surface, explosively ejecting gas and disintegrated rock into the surface world. After about a tenth of the chamber's contents have erupted, pressure falls and the show's over. Reheat and repeat.

The Yellowstone hotspot has produced dozens of large eruptions over the past 16 million years, the last three within the Yellowstone volcanic field: two supers and one M7.4 lightweight that created 68 cubic miles of debris. They left overlapping giant calderas, or craters, each 10 to 50 miles wide. Since filled with lava and eroded, the calderas are inconspicuous and went unrecognized till the 1960s.

These three big eruptions were 640,000 years ago, 660,000 years earlier, and 800,000 years before that. See a pattern? Lurid reports suggest we're almost due, even overdue, but the pattern is illusory. Over the past 4.5 million years, large Yellowstone eruptions have come at irregular intervals of 300,000 to 2.4 million years. Furthermore, a series of smaller eruptions (relatively; one was Krakatoa-esque in magnitude) between 170,000 and 70,000 years ago ejected as much material as a super — perhaps enough to relieve the pressure, and danger, for a while.

And while you're waiting, why not enjoy some of our many fine geysers and hot springs? Yellowstone's thermal features obviously depend on the heat rising from the magma chamber, demonstrating that a supervolcano, when not wreaking global havoc, can be a lot of fun.

Yellowstone has been eruption-free for 70,000 years, neglecting occasional steam explosions. Two centers of resurgence within the last caldera, where the land heaves up and down several feet over the course of decades, bear watching, but there's no sign of imminent trouble. Volcanologists expect at least a few weeks of pre-eruption warning.

What's the chance of a supereruption anywhere in the world in the next 50 years? Estimates range from one chance in 1,000 to one in 10,000 — hardly cause for panic. When it does happen, though, a lot of people are going to be toast. A supereruption could kill tens of millions. Within 10 to 50 miles of the next Yellowstone vent, you'll be Pompeiiized beneath thousands of feet of hot ash. More than half the U.S. will experience ashfall, potentially fatal if inhaled. Ash and associated toxins could devegetate a third of the lower 48 (including some of the world's most productive farmland) for years or decades, leading to mass starvation. Grim, but so unlikely that the U.S. Geological Survey lists Yellowstone as only the 19th most dangerous American volcano. Pimples like Kilueha, Saint Helens, and Rainier top the list.

Yellowstone's cousins are worth watching. The last supereruption at the Long Valley caldera in eastern California was 760,000 years ago. Another would be devastating, but as at Yellowstone, major cities are distant enough to avoid being completely buried. Elsewhere, some giant calderas are frightfully close to urban areas. Lake Taal in the Philippines is only 40 miles from Manila. In Italy the rim of Campi Flegrei lies only five miles from central Naples. The last near-supereruption there came 35,000 years ago; a much smaller one killed 24 in 1538. Pizza napoletana on my next Italian tour? Sure. But make mine to go.

"You know, sometimes I ask myself 'Ees eet worth eet?' and I answer myself 'YEEEES! EET EES WORTH EET!' VIVA L'AMOUR" Mei-Li P.! Pépe le Peu quotes from Big Cartoon Forum.

Gentlemen, 2008 was a banner year for the Legion of Evil. Our operatives scowled, glared, sneered, grimaced, glowered, frowned, harrumphed upon and generally disapproved of more things than at any time in the storied history of our secret fraternity. And now, it gives me great displeasure to present the 2008 Evil Awards:

Every year, the squirrels come and eat our pumpkins, thankfully, this year they waited until after Halloween.

But, I took this picture of a squirrel eating pumpkin seeds out of the pumpkin. I thought it was SO cute, his little hands holding the seed. Hopefully you think it's cute, too.

These were all taken by me while wandering around New York City Friday night..

In a train station kwik-e-mart.

As far as I can tell, this place sells bricks. Apparently they're diversifying.

A sign about annoying subway service changes, on which someone took out their frustrations.

josh from annapolis, maryland says the first and last note in this exchange were apparently written by stephen, a college student at a school “known for it’s obtusely intellectual, chronically spacey student body.”

the notes were gone within a few days, but josh says the situation hasn’t exactly improved. in the meantime, he says, “i’m kinda worried for my own safety. i recently saw this kid chopping firewood in the backyard, so he definitely has an ax.”
