There's to much family guy porn on tumblr
Getting actually good (or decent) SFW of your favorite characters on Tumblr is hard.

one time i was looking for cool art of zuko from the last airbender on tumblr and i barely scrolled down when i saw a picture of nekkid sokka, zuko and aang with giant dicks. like there was no orgy or anything just they had giant dicks. i think that was the day i just abandoned my account.

when you pay a person for guitar lessons, you aren't just paying them to teach you the chords. you're also paying them to spend 15-30 minutes correcting the chord chart of an obscure song off youtube. feelsbadman.
 
Koko the gorilla is still alive and still caring for cats! Her first was a grey Manx she named All Ball she received for her birthday after asking for a cat (her Christmas present was a stuffed animal she was unsatisfied with). All Ball escaped and unfortunately was hit by a car, so she was allowed to pick two more strays, one who she named Lipstick for the kitties pink nose and mouth, and the other she named Smoky after a grey cat in a book of hers. In 2015 she received two more kitties, Ms. Gray and Ms. Black, who she also named and picked.

Just look at this!
 
The Lewis and Clark expedition were provided with hundreds of mercury-based laxative pills called 'Rush's Thunderclappers". Traces of mercury can still be found in middens left by the expedition. Consumption of mercury has been linked to mental instability, and this along with syphilis is probably the reason Meriwether Lewis shot himself in 1809.
Interestingly- and I learned this yesterday-, the theory that Lewis commited suicide has been challenged (Stephen Ambrose still thinks it's suicide, but he is IMO a somewhat lazy, sloppy and set in his ways historian). It's definitely true that Lewis experienced mental instability and alcoholism, but there are strange circumstances surrounding his death. The witnesses' stories don't match up very well at all. One of Lewis' traveling companions went to DC to try and extort money from Lewis' mother shortly after and committed suicide shortly after. The circumstances are weird as hell, and the death took place in the Natchez Trace, which was supposedly thick with pirates, outlaws, etc.

Damn. The things they never teach you in history class (of course I suppose just getting there was enduring all its own when you were that isolated from civilization).

There are a lot of mysteries in history where we don't have the facts one way or another and can only really speculate. A lot of the conclusive facts are just lost to time.

This wasn't today, but yesterday, I learned to wear better shoes when walking because the shoes I wore before hurt my feet and would feel sore and I'd complain of being tired.

And also, always wear long socks. Never wear short ones because if you do, you'll be in pain and get blisters like I did.
