Do you have that one friend who is pretty ignorant - well, just stupid actually - but also far too stubborn to admit that they’re wrong? Yeah, I have one.

Yesterday some friends and I were discussing a bloke who didn’t sleep for about five days straight because he was stressed out with his work, and Jem mentioned he was shit at time management.

‘No, it’s not even that, he just didn’t plan out what he was gonna do properly and ran out of time.”

When I pointed out that that is what time management means, he vehemently disagreed, so I tried to explain again “Time management is managing your time so that you get the most amount of stuff done - you know, maximum productivity - out of that amount of time. The clue is in the name.” And even so he still kept whispering ‘that’s not what time management is’ even though he was smiling sheepishly like an idiot who knows he’s wrong, he’s just way to proud to admit it. It really tickled me.

Banana Pool Table by Cleon Daniel

Exploring themes of life and environment in a rather tongue-in-cheek manner, designer cléon daniel manages to explore arguably familiar territory with a banana-shaped billiard table. Completed with the help of a retired carpenter, the ‘banana pool table’ incorporates a yellow felt wrap and a hardwood frame with four pockets instead of six.

A 2500 year old mummy that had some amazing tattoos.

WHAT.

NO FUCKING WAY.

YO HOLD ON.

IT GETS BETTER.

This mummy, found in the Altai mountains of Siberia, is actually that of a young woman who died at about the age of twenty-five; she is thought to have been a member of the Pazyryk tribe.

She was buried with six horses and two similarly-tattooed men (the horned griffon that decorates her shoulder also appears on the man buried closest to her, covering most of his right side), possibly escorts. She was also wearing a horse-hair wig, silk, and elaborate boots, which is all a level of ceremony that would have likely only been accorded to a woman of high rank. You didn’t get inked like this unless you were very important, and had worked your way up to that importance.

…Hence, of course, the references to her by researchers as ‘The Ukok Princess,’ although due to the lack of weapons in her grave they have concluded that the woman was in fact a healer or a storyteller.

And now I’m all consumed with curiosity: Who was she? What amazing things did she accomplish? Why these symbols, and what did they mean? Who were the two men alongside her?

The most informative article about it can be found here, although I would completely eat up any other information you guys could find.

The Pazyryk burials are INCREDIBLE, no lie.
