Thanks, cool stuff. Having studied the bee's eye a little bit, though, I feel that its visual percept would not just be a transformation of our own - the whole system is totally different and I think it would be difficult to imagine for a human being. That said, it was cool :)

I love the solar stuff, I love stars and I collect cool stuff like those movies.. maybe i can join a bunch together, they're too short.

The NPS page, and the site on which it is hosted, is pretty sweet. Thanks. Also, while each of these is interesting in its own right, I'm not sure mashing them into a single post makes much sense. /derail

These are neat links but I don't get the FPP, is there a common thread aside from "These are neat, go look at them"?

--On the Jerry Springer Set--

White Trash(WT): I've got a question for the sea cow.
Manatee: I'm a manatee.
WT: Whatever, sea pig. What you need to do is get you a job.
Manatee: But i live in the Ocean.
WT: Maybe you live in the Ocean because you ain't got no job.

Nice links, from the discordian school of FPPs.

They are all visual, mostly related to science, and things to explore. I grouped them as such because I didn't want to parcel them out one by one single link FPPs.
Take from it what you will, or not. As a part time photographer I enjoy the different views.

Those solar movies are pure geek pornography.
