If you are ready to uave your kind blown, that is only one nostril. The other nostril is located inside their skull and is how whales and dolphins vocalize and echolocate.
What the fuck nature
Favourite word in the English language: snarge.
If you are whale watching and get the most from a blow hole, know that you are being sneezed on and are covered in millions of bacteria
You're covered in millions of bacteria just standing in the metro or walking in a public bathroom, probably.
Don’t forget the gut bacteria that are an essential component of what makes you “you” and yet doesn’t share your dna. Still blows my mind
Blows my guts, and I'm thankful for it
My belt holds up my pants and my pants have belt loops that hold up the belt. What the fuck’s really goin on down there? Who is the real hero?
Put that on my gravestone
True! But I’m not under the illusion that I am in magical whale mist.
youre more bacterial dna than human dna by volume
lavish.
