The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy
What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.
Holy crap.
Florida teen Kaitlyn Hunt, 18, is seeing her young life turned upside down and her future jeopardized simply because she fell in love. Unfortunately for her, she fell in love with a younger girl who has vindictive bigots for parents. »
She was kicked off the basketball team because of the potential for “drama” her presence created. She’s been vilified by fellow students, called “criminal,” “rapist” and “child abuser.” She was expelled from school. And far worse. She’s facing a lifetime label of “sex-offender,” because the other girl’s parents brought criminal charges against her despite the fact that the relationship was consensual. What’s more, according to Hunt’s parents, Hunt was 17 when the relationship began, but the other girl’s parents waited until after she turned 18 to go to police.
Unbelievably, prosecutors have decided to press the criminal charge.
Emphasis mine.So the prosecutor’s office in Sebastian River, Florida thinks this is a worthwhile use of taxpayer money and the court’s time.
Fuck everything about this.
Would you be as upset if they were going after an 18 year old guy that was dating a 15 year old girl?

Ruby Falls | Chattanooga, Tennessee
This is Ruby Falls, a 150-foot tall underground waterfall that is 1,100 feet below the surface of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee. One reaches the falls by descending 26 floors into the mountain via an elevator shaft leading onto a 1/2 mile hike into the heart of the mountain itself. The euphoric colors come from the lighting installed by the park service (which actually cycle through a series of colors and natural lighting as you enter the cavern the falls is located in).

TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE IS *NOT* NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED
Please stop spreading this around.
The Skyrim joke as-was was funny. Please don’t ruin it by making it a non-funny, misogynistic joke of the “ball-and-chain sort” (you know, the euphemism for a woman holding back the husband from doing anything fun).
^^^ this.
It was a random line they threw in to give the guards more personality.
The marriage thing seems to be a bad joke that started on gamefaqs and got spread with no actual source.
At least it’s not an arrow to the balls.
