Yeah, an undeniable classic!

Reminds me of this excellent tweet:

Birmingham campaigners welcome decision on Black Sabbath pub site Campaigners celebrate council planners refusing proposals by The Crown's owners.

Good. The last thing Birmingham city center needs is even more space reserved for car parking.

Hericium is considered both a highly prized edible mushroom as well as a valuable medicinal resource, and this revision of European and American taxa provides an important phylogenetic revision.

The image is a black-and-white cartoon featuring a humorous take on plant smut diseases, playing on the double meaning of the word “smut.” The humour comes from the risqué implication of the word “smut,” combined with the fact that most of these smut diseases are destructive plant infections, except for corn smut, which is actually considered delicious. My cartoon plays with this contrast, making delicious (corn) smut the unexpected punchline. The individual cartoons were drawn in black pen on A5 (148 x 210 mm) sheets of white watercolour paper, and combined digitally, with text added above and below the drawings.

I drew a cartoon about smut - the fungal kind. I created it for the @plantpathgrads Art in Phytopathology competition.

This is the funniest I will ever be. I have peaked

Watercolour painting of rocks and fossils found on the beach at Redcar, northeast England - bivalves, ammonites, crinoids, calcite-veined mudstone, Gryphaea, banded limestone, ironstone and a mix of marine fossils in limestone.

Redcar rocks and fossils - though it’s only a few miles south of where I live, the geology of Redcar is completely different, and younger; Jurassic marine fossils are ridiculously easy to find lying on the beach.
