NASA is apparently in the practice of dropping rubber duckies with Inuit tattoos into bottomless holes in the Artic.  It makes me laugh a lot that our national space agency, which sends people into outer space, uses rubber duckies to research glaciers.  (via Herd)

There is apparently also a bottomless hole at the end of half of a waterfall called the Devil’s Kettle, right here in Minnesota.  As much as I love scientific discovery, I also like the wonder from the fact that there are some really simple things like this that we don’t know.
