I’m sure everyone has heard about the great Lake Baikal, and if you haven’t,boy, are you missing out.

This ancient lake, which is about 25 million years old, and thought to be the oldest in the world, contains 20% of the world’s unfrozen fresh water. That’s right, it contains just 1% less fresh water than all the Great Lakes combined,while it’s surface area is over 7 times smaller.

Why is that, you ask? It’s because Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world: It’s maximum depth is 1642 meters, which is deep enough for the Eiffel Tower to stand on itself 5 times and not reach the surface.

But it gets better: the Lake Baikal is among the clearest lakes of the world, so you can see the bottom to a depth of nearly 40 meters, and you can drink right from it, no purifying needed. Furthermore, Lake Baikal sustains 2630 different species of animals and plants, 80% of which are unique to it, and can’t be found anywhere else.

Oh, and by the way? Under both the lake and it’s underwater sediment some of Earth’s tallest mountains(plural!) are submerged, their height over 7000 meters.

Lake Baikal is perhaps one of the world’s most amazing, awe-inspiring, and unique locations, and I would seriously recommend everybody who has some free time on their hands to discover more on their own.

P.S. Have I mentioned that when it freezes (fully, whoa!) it’s ice looks like this? And you can listen to some beautiful sounds you can make with it here!

Lake Baikal has seals, even though it’s more than a thousand miles from any ocean.  No one’s really sure how they got there.

#this will forever be one of my favorite things sam has said

The angel Castiel was much distressed, for he sought the lord God yet knew not where to search.

The Righteous Man perceived this and said in jest “Seek the lord God in the land of New Mexico, for I hear he is on a tortilla”

But, lo, the angel Castiel did not understand this jest and gave consideration to the Righteous Man’s suggestion.

Then he spake and said “Nay, he resides not on any flat-bread” and an awkward silence did fall.

Some things you probably didn’t know about Misha Collins

• Misha was arrested for reading a book on top of a bank because he “needed better lighting”.
• He stole security badges from the White House and turned them into a mobile.
• He has spent the night in an igloo (it was not a pleasant experience).
• Misha smells like cinnamon and watermelon.
• He renewed his wedding vows at a supermarket. With a bouquet of vegetables. Dressed in drag.
• When Misha was younger, he was known for stealing people’s shoes and licking strangers’ ice cream cones
• He organised a tea party in the middle of a highway. He made the police who were sent to charge him sit down and had tea instead.
• He lost to Jared Padalecki in Words With Friends. He owed him $1970 and paid in four buckets of coins.

If I was a famous author I would publish a book with ten different endings which all went to print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended. Then when they figured it out I would ‘come clean’, telling them that I had released eleven alternate endings and watch them panic again as they all try to find the last ending.

This is perfect.

*Rereads comments*

*Lets out long sigh*

im laughign so much

this post is so great im just

thank you tumblr

calm and collected as per the norm

but, yeah, seriously though, Yahoo’s first action will probably be to set up some sort of way to phaze out everything that has to do with porn or X-rated stuff, there’s a lot of (albeit artful) tumblrs like that that will probably be the first to go. Anything to do with copyright stuff will be next. Who knows, though, maybe the new management will fix some of the issues we’ve wanted fixed for so long! And, remember, there’s always AdBlock!!

I am not very hopeful, but at least I got to enjoy tumblr’s halcyon days

• YOU ARE A PLEASANT AND COOL PERSON
• BEING MEAN IS MEAN
• THERES NO REASON TO BE RUDE AND HATEFUL WHEN WE’RE ALL JUST PEOPLE LIVING ON THE SAME PLANET AND TRYING TO GET THROUGH OUR LIVES AND ENJOY THE TIME WE HAVE
