Little Wheel Keeps on Turning
Posting this in case some of you haven’t had a chance to play this wonderful little flash game created by the crew over at OneClickDog.com In Little Wheel, you play as a lone robot trying to restore power to its industrial world after being blacked out for 10,000 years. It’s your basic point-and-click flash game, but it sports great graphics, a fitting jazz soundtrack, and is overall pretty darn fun. If you have about 15 minutes to spare you can beat this in one go. Enjoy!

Swimming with sperm whales
Eric Echeng gets up close and personal with sperm whales. See more incredible shots in this Flickr slideshow. To read about why people call Eric the whale whisperer check out this article on grindtv.com.
“Once I’m in the water I try to reach them acoustically by making this noise in the water, and it’s the same noise all the time so they know it’s me,” he says. “So I’m talking to them all the time in the water, and they start coming.”

A real-life Pokémon
Meet the eastern emerald elysia (elysia chlorotica) a sea slug that gains some of it’s energy via photosynthesis from chloroplasts, genes and cell-parts it has integrated into it’s body from the algae it routinely dines on. It’s a water and grass type! Read more about this fascinating creature on the mother nature network.
FUN FACT: If you live near salt marshes in New England or Canada you could go and catch one yourself. If you keep it in an aquarium that has light shining on it for 12 or more hours a day you’ll never have to feed it.
