1. An unexpected side effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiderwebs. People in the area had never seen this phenomenon before. (Courtesy: National Geographic)

  5. In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding that they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.

  14. GONE FOR GOOD

    The Shins » Gone For Good Lyrics

     

    Untie me, I’ve said no vows
    The train is getting way too loud
    I gotta leave here my girl
    Get on with my lonely life

    Just leave the ring on the rail
    For the wheels to nullify

    Until this turn in my head
    I let you stay and you paid no rent
    I spent twelve long months on the lam

    That’s enough sitting on the fence
    For the fear of breaking dams

    I find a fatal flaw
    In the logic of love
    And go out of my head

    You love a sinking stone
    That’ll never elope
    So get used to the lonesome
    Girl, you must atone some
    Don’t leave me no phone number there

    It took me all of a year
    To put the poison pill to your ear
    But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground

    You want to fight for this love
    But honey you cannot wrestle a dove
    So baby it’s clear

    You want to jump and dance
    But you sat on your hands
    And lost your only chance

    Go back to your hometown
    Get your feet on the ground
    And stop floating around

    I find a fatal flaw
    In the logic of love
    And go out of my head

    You love a sinking stone
    That’ll never elope
    So get used to used to the lonesome
    Girl, you must atone some
    Don’t leave me no phone number there
