Round the Web: First Week of March

Do you know what throws me into an uncontrollable rage of giggles and smiles? ANIMALS. Especially cute photographs of cats, dogs, animal friendships - basically, anything that isn't a human and has fur will throw me into a full-fledged daze much like a play-by-play stream of a middle schooler in love. 

Candice, proud owner of Champ, takes very beautiful photographs of her dog whilst smiling. This impressive shot with a butterfly on his nose was not Photoshopped, but a purely natural incident! 

You can find these majestic, surreal-looking ice caves in Kamchatka, a peninsula situated in Eastern Russia. Volcanoes and glaciers have aided in the formation of these beautiful caves, and due to global warming/the business of volcanoes melting glaciers in recent years(look at the former), these caves provide a wonderful look into the convergence, diffraction, and divergence of light meeting ice. Definitely putting this on my list of places to visit.

How can you spend(waste) 1-2 million dollars? A letter by Francis Crick to his son, Michael, is being auctioned off at Christie's on April 10. This letter was written post-hey-we-discovered-DNA-Michael!-deoxyribonucleic-acid-for-the-win! Why am I so bitter, you ask? Because everyone knows that Francis Crick and James Watson are the founders of DNA even though they stole 50% of the work from Rosalind Franklin, who indefinitely helped them achieve the end result without any due credit. Thanks, dudes. More about that later, but anyways, I really dislike Watson & Crick, especially the former since he is a raging d-bag, but whatever, check more out on that here.

Obama's mission to map the human brain

Build a beautiful home around 52 trees?!

Somewhere/Something I'd definitely like to do: Capturing Yosemite's Finest Feb. Moment

AND JUST TO STATE MY UTTER GRIEVANCES FOR THE WORLD AND A CALCULATED MISTAKE, "Keep Calm and Hit Her" oh, and "Keep Calm and Rape on" were just removed off from Amazon. I know it was a mistake, but I mean... Still. Let's just take a moment to think about other facets of society that take rape as "an experience every college student should experience" and one that is now starting to gain more prominence. Kudos to the House for passing the VAWA. Love you.
